How to use groups to speed up your productions

As producers we know how somethings just take too much time. We know there has to be an easy way. Well there is an easy way and it is using groups.This video below is showing you how to use groups to speed up your productions. As a producer im sure you know how long it takes to make each sound and then load all the audio and midi effects and everything else you need for each track and sound can be daunting. It can sometimes take forever to get the sound you want. Instead of doing that and going through that each and every time. The solution is just do it once and save it as a group.
