Basic thing I hope you are aware of; You don't really need to have a master fader. A master fader in PT is a way to see, and control, the specific output that it controls. Tracks play thru their assigned outputs whether there's a master track for it or not.

Another thing; tracks can have more than one output destination. IIRC, it's CTRL mod key on mac, and you can send a track to many places.

My typical session setup would be; all tracks go to a AUX acting as a master, and I would send the output of it to both my main output - and to a print track. Just a suggestion. Ways to skan a cat.

That's exactly how my template has been setup for years as well. I was curious about a comment made in the video I mentioned in my original post is all.
