The topic of routing and channel splitting i0recurs throughout this user guide. The concept isrelatively simple, but its application can be quite complex (see alsoChapter 17). You can use channels to send the same signal to two or more different places. You can then process each channel separately before joining them back up. Below is a relatively simple example designed to help you to understand what channel splitting is about and how to do it. This example uses multiple channels (two stereo pairs) for our master. We can thereby feed some effect (such as reverb) into our signal chain, then send the effect (and only the effect) out to our headphones (to enable us to assess it), while sending the overall final mix to our speakers. In order to work thru this example, you will need a sound card with at least four audio outputs.
