Re: Intermediate question regarding the use of more than one Master Fader
Albee knows his stuff. I'll just feel the need to boil it down somewhat.
A masterfader in PT is a visualization of a physical output. If you have only stereo out on your interface, more than one stereo masterfader is pointless.
You can have a session without any masterfader(s), it just means that you won't be able to control your stereo output level, or insert plugins on it. All tracks routed to the output will work even without a masterfader.
I've always used an aux as my master. I route everything thru it and it goes to my main outs. I could have not had a masterfader at all, just the aux, but I usually crate one just to have a volume control, any "masterfader plugins" goes on the aux, and I keep the aux fader at -0db.
It has several advantages, plugins being pre-fader, more flexible routing ++.
