Advanced mixing
Work with submixes
A submix is a track that combines audio signals routed to it from specific audio tracks or track sends in the same
sequence. A submix is an intermediate step between audio tracks and the master track. Submixes are useful if you
want to work with a number of audio tracks in the same way. For example, you can use a submix to apply identical
audio and effect settings to three tracks of a five-track sequence. Submixes can help make the best use of your
computer’s processing power by allowing you to apply one instance of an effect instead of multiple instances.
