"Master faders are very important because they- they give you like an extra control on what's being sent through a certain path. If I have everything going out to my analog one-two, this master fader is going to effect the master volume on basically my entire project because my one-two is going out to my speakers. Now if I have a bus, like I just made a bus from 7,8, this audio file is bussed out to 7-8 to this track right here. Now if I wanted to control how much goes into here, I could do that through this fader right here but what I could also do is make a brand new master fader because if I made a new master fader that was stereo, and assigned it to 7-8, the bus 7-8 is not going to be effected by this fader as well. So, if I have something playing through here, how much goes into this auxiliary track could also be determined by how high this fader is. Now if I don't want this, I could always delete this one track and go back to using just my regular send, view fader."
