CHAPTER 12. ROUTING AND I/O 148
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
layering is a good example of such a one-to-many routing setup.
12.6.1 Internal Routing Points
Signals travel from Live's tracks into their respective device chains and then into the track
mixer, where they might become panned or have their levels altered by the tracks' faders.
Whenever a track's Audio From input chooser is set to another track (as described in the
previous section's Approach 2), the signal received can be tapped from one of three different
points chosen from the Input Channel chooser: Pre FX, Post FX or Post Mixer.
