NIck, thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out. I'm actually trying to set it up in 
Autoload, not an existing song. I did previously try setting the zones' output in 
addition to the groups, but it didn't solve the problem.

Just to be clear about your last comment - you mean that the fader for the 
AudioInstrument object's channel will affect the levels of the other outs, akin to a 
post-fader bus send? Or something else? Also, I've never used cc11, how would you 
use it in this case?

Thanks again,
