In
this tutorial Pipeline says something like "multichannel routing is like a magic screwdriver that lets you put goes-intas and goes-outas anywhere you want."
Here are some uses for the magic screwdriver.
- Sidechaining, of course.
- Add a send/receive in between effects on a single track. Especially useful if you want a vsti folder track to hold both the midi performance and the final audio fx (more
here).
- Set up a parallel bus for any effect, within a single track, by routing its output to higher channels and using chanmix to bring the wet channels back in.
- For that matter, set up a parallel effects mixer within a single channel, so you can mix together a suite of effects running in parallel (each off the original input signal) rather than serial (each feeding the next).
- A/B effects or effect settings by sending their outputs to different channels and using
Ix's channel switcher.
