Reduce the volume of all tracks by the same amount

Hello,

is there an automatic way to reduce the volume of all tracks by the same amount?
For example these tracks (I put 3 for brevity, but it could be 30):

Vol1

they are all lowered by 10:

Vol2

You can temporarily group the tracks, hold ctrl and select each one (they’ll have that red highlight around them) then when you move the fader for one, all will move together.

Yes, it works well.
Thank you,

Another trick I saw on a video somewhere is you can assign all the tracks to a VCA. That way you don’t have to select all the tracks each time, and if for example you want to bring down everything except the vocal track then you can either unassign the vocal to the VCA and bring everything else down, or bring everything down and then override the VCA on the vocal track by pressing shift while increasing its volume.

You can assign selected tracks to the VCA by right clicking the button on the top of the VCA track to bring up the option to “assign selected channels,” etc.
