12.7 Inter nal Routings
Live allows for inter-track routings. These routings, albeit potentially confusing, enable many
valuable creative and technical options. Inter-track routing can work two ways:
1. Track A is set up to send its output signal to Track B. This is possible because
every track that can receive an output signal of the appropriate type from Track
A shows up in its Output Type chooser.
2. Track B is set up to receive its input signal from Track A. This works because every
track that delivers a signal of the appropriate type appears in Track B's Input Type
chooser.
Two Ways to Route Track
A into Track B.
Both approaches result in Track A's output being fed into Track B. Approach 1 leaves Track
B's in/out settings alone, and we can, at any time, add more tracks that feed their output
into Track B. This is the method of choice for many-to-one routings such as submixes or
several MIDI tracks playing the same instrument.
Approach 2, on the other hand, leaves Track A unaffected except for Track B tapping its
output. We can easily add more tracks like Track B that all tap Track A's output. Instrument
