Hi.  
How many groups can one have in the Auto Align plugin? I am currenty on the Trial version so perhaps that’s why I’m seemingly limited to 8?  
Cheers,  
Tom

Hi @tomadrichardson ,  
Auto-Align 2 has no hard-coded limit on number of groups.

When in need, you can also create manual groups instead of the automatic ones.

Keep in mind AA2 auto-grouping is based on relations between tracks. So, it’s possible that a bleed between instruments could make them considered as a single group (eg Drums + Bass). (so you can manually adjust grouping if needed).

Let us know if you have any other question.
