Description
Your idea
I'd like the ability to select channels in the mixer, to make changes to multiple channels at once, as is possible in DAWs.
Clicking anywhere within a channel should highlight the track (change colour to blue, or whatever). Then holding shift and pressing another channel should let you select a range of tracks, while holding ctrl (or cmd) should let you select a "custom selection".
Problem to be solved
This would be very handy when doing tasks like turning down the volume of selected tracks, like one section of an orchestra - or turning up or down the reverb level (or anything else that's on an aux channel).

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests, so first locate the mixer channel UI and the existing track-control entry points. Read how channel focus and volume or aux controls currently work before designing selection behavior. Done means supporting single, shift-range, and ctrl/cmd custom channel selections that accept shared mixer changes.
