Video Transcript

"The output of every track is very important. The output is basically going to dictate where it's going. Usually if you have moderate outputs, like 1-2, like everything's go out to 1-2, but, some people have different styles of mixing where they can mix outside of the box. They can use other multiple outputs to create more of a sound, instead of cramming everything into, you know, 1-2, you use 3-4, 5-6, you know, so you have multiple stereos to your tracks as their final output. And what it'll do is bounce all those stereo tracks maybe to 4-5 of them and to bounce them all into 1; you know, by separating, you know, by different frequency ranges or different types of sounds, things like that. Looking at the screen, and you can see the output of each of these is 1-2. This analog, the mass is fitted basic control is what's going on through 1-2. So this to control basically my output from this session. All these tracks are going to out 2, except for this midi-track which does provide any type of audio. So if I were to take this and bust it to 3, or I was actually to send it out to my analog, 3-4, it wouldn't reach my speakers, but it would be going out. So if our to affect this, it won't actually this audio file, it will only affect this one because only 1-2. So make sure the audio file is on 1-2 if you want to fair to adjust all of them."
