- 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).
- Create a new track, apply the original track's playlist, and
- then apply effects to both tracks independently.

- If you want to create a composite edit from multiple takes, create a new

- Alternatively, record each successive take on top of the
- others in "layers" and then edit them using the layer tools, explained
- later.

- Select the appropriate language before exporting the session.
