A method for creating a Routing Folder track, moving tracks into it, and automatically configuring input and output connections. This simplifies subgroup creation, saves time, and ensures correct signal routing.

A method for converting an existing "Aux" track into a "Routing Folder" track. This allows you to utilize the organizational benefits of folders in older projects.

A type of noise added to digital audio to minimize the negative effects of reducing bit depth, like when converting a 24-bit session to a 16-bit file.

When a folder track is muted, all the tracks within it become inaudible. However, when a folder track is soloed, only its member tracks that are not muted become audible.

A process used in mastering to add dither to audio, typically done at the final stage when the audio is being prepared for distribution.

A method for manually dragging tracks into a "Basic Folder" or "Routing Folder." It's a simple way to organize your tracks, but you'll need to manually connect inputs and outputs to create a subgroup.

Using Routing Folders as subgroup masters eliminates the need for "solo safe" settings. This is a convenient feature of Folder tracks.

The feature that allows you to choose the final bit depth for your audio, for example, 16-bit or 24-bit, when using a dither plug-in.

Tracks within a Routing Folder are considered "member tracks." These tracks are grouped and their outputs are routed to the Routing Folder track.

A technique used in dithering to subtly shape the noise, making it less noticeable to the human ear.

A specific type of noise shaping that distributes the noise more evenly across the frequency spectrum, recommended for simpler audio.

A type of noise shaping designed for audio with a wide stereo field and full-spectrum sounds, offering the most advanced noise shaping option.

A type of folder that allows you to organize your tracks for mixing. It's simpler than a Routing Folder and primarily focused on grouping.
