+<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.
+</p>
+
+<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 &gt; 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.
