3 title: Playlist Usecases
6 <h3>Using Playlists for Parallel Processing</h3>
8 One of the uses of playlists is to apply multiple effects to the same
9 audio stream. For example, let's say you would like to apply two
10 different non-linear effects such as distortion or compression to the
11 same audio source (for linear effects, you could just apply them one after
12 the other in the same track).<br />
13 Create a new track, apply the original track's playlist, and
14 then apply effects to both tracks independently.
17 The same result could be achieved by feeding your track to multiple busses which
18 then contain the processing, but this increases the overall latency,
19 complicates routing and uses more space in the Mixer window.
22 <h2>Using Playlists for "Takes"</h2>
24 Using Playlists for <dfn>takes</dfn> is a good solution if you are going
25 to need the ability to edit individual takes, and select between them.
28 Each time you start a new take, create a new playlist with
29 <kbd class="menu">p > New</kbd>
30 Later, you can Select your way back to previous or later takes as
34 If you want to create a composite edit from multiple takes, create a new
35 track to assemble the final version, and "cherry pick" from the playlists
36 in the original track by copying regions over as required.<br />
37 Alternatively, record each successive take on top of the
38 others in "layers" and then edit them using the layer tools, explained
42 <h2>Using Playlists for Multi-Language Productions</h2>
44 The same approach as for takes is useful when you are recording or
45 editing content in multiple versions, such as dubbed movie dialog in
46 several languages, and you want all versions on the same track, to
47 get the same processing. <br />
48 Select the appropriate language before exporting the session.
