- Under <dfn>Advanced Options</dfn>, some fine tuning can be done, like selecting
- whether Ardour should create a Master Bus, or a Control Bus, and how many channels
- the output should have.
+ The different templates, both the "factory" ones and the ones created by the user,
+ are easily available on the left-side panel. Depending on the chosen template,
+ a specific Template Settings window may be shown, allowing the user to fine-tune
+ the details of the template and/or choose between the different options of the
+ template.

+ Templates can be huge time savers when working on similar projects, or on
+ usual projects, as they allow to preset and tweak a lot of the <a
+ href="@@session-properties">session properties</a>, (like the
+ availability of a <a href="@@monitor-section">monitoring section</a>,
+ connection to a Master Bus, etc.), and handle the creation of <a
+ href="@@adding-tracks-busses-and-vcas">tracks</a> of any kind.

+ The <kbd class="menu">Empty Template</kbd> preset allows to create a session
+ "from scratch". Everything a session template does can be done manually
+ —albeit more tediously— and the resulting sessions will not differ
+ whatsoever.
