-<h3>Using Playlists for Parallel Processing</h3>
-<p>
- One of the uses of playlists is to apply multiple effects to the same
- audio stream. For example, let's say you would like to apply two
- different non-linear effects such as distortion or compression to the
- same audio source (for linear effects, you could just apply them one after
- the other in the same track).<br />
- Create a new track, apply the original track's playlist, and
- then apply effects to both tracks independently.
-</p>
-<p class="note">
- The same result could be achieved by feeding your track to multiple busses which
- then contain the processing, but this increases the overall latency,
- complicates routing and uses more space in the Mixer window.

-<h2>Using Playlists for "Takes"</h2>
-<p>
- Using Playlists for <dfn>takes</dfn> is a good solution if you are going
- to need the ability to edit individual takes, and select between them.
-</p>
-<p>
- Each time you start a new take, create a new playlist with
- <kbd class="menu">p > New</kbd>
- Later, you can Select your way back to previous or later takes as
- desired.
-</p>
-<p>
- If you want to create a composite edit from multiple takes, create a new
- track to assemble the final version, and "cherry pick" from the playlists
- in the original track by copying regions over as required.<br />
- Alternatively, record each successive take on top of the
- others in "layers" and then edit them using the layer tools, explained
- later.
-</p>
-
-<h2>Using Playlists for Multi-Language Productions</h2>
-<p>
- The same approach as for takes is useful when you are recording or
- editing content in multiple versions, such as dubbed movie dialog in
- several languages, and you want all versions on the same track, to
- get the same processing. <br />
- Select the appropriate language before exporting the session.
