Hi, is it possible to record a drumwith severals mics, align them, then record a guitar with some others mics & align the guitar mics together without bouncing the drum tracks before ? a solo button that tells auto align to NOT listen anymore to the drum tracks ? i hope you see what i mean…  
thanks

Hi @fabientabuteau,

Thanks for your message!

Sure — just set the Drums’ Group Mode to **“Locked”** , and that’s it. Their alignment will remain unchanged in future alignment passes.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Best,  
Oran
