SUBMIX TRACK
A SubMix track routes audio to an intermediate track before the Main Mix master
volume. This is very useful as a master volume control for a group of related tracks
such as a drum kit, or multiple tracks of backing vocals. SubMix tracks are also useful
if you’d like to send a group of tracks to one channel-insert-type effect. One common
use would be to send multi-tracked layered backing vocals through a single compressor
to “glue” them together.
To create a SubMix Track, click the +Track button and select Add Send Track. You can
also click Track>Add Track>SubMix Track in the main window menu or right-click in
the Track List area and use the Insert Track menu.
To add tracks to a SubMix Track, drag and drop the tracks onto the SubMix track.
(Make sure to grab tracks in the track list, not clips in the grid; when you move a track,
its clips move with it.) Once tracks are the child of a SubMix track, they can be freely
moved up and down in track list. Besides being directly beneath the SubMix track,
child tracks will indent slightly with a small black region on the left side for easy visible
identification. If the SubMix Track is moved in the the track list, all child tracks move
with it. Child tracks may be shown or hidden by clicking the +/- sign at the far left side
of the SubMix Track.
