When I first started using Sonar X3 (now using Artist), I created a template for all my future projects. This template was to include (for starters): three Cakewalk SoundCenter tracks, three Cakewalk TTS-1 tracks, and one SessionDrummer track. On top of that, I created an extra track for TTS-1 Output.
I abandoned music composition for quite a few months in focus on other hobbies. Now that I've returned to it, I'm drawing a huge blank. At the time, I did the necessary research and educated myself on why to create a TTS-1 Output track. But now, strangely, I don't remember why I created that track for my template or how. And I'm not able to refresh my memory with a Google search on "how TTS-1 works". So now, as awkward as it is, I'm having an "I don't know why I did that moment", and I have to ask my fellow musicians to help me out.
I remember vaguely that the Output track consolidates my TTS-1 tracks into one channel, or something like that. But still, I can't remember why I created that track.
What are the benefits/reasons for creating a TTS-1 Output track? I'm trying to refresh my memory to determine whether I need it or not.
Any insight and re-education is appreciated! Thanks.
