The audiosignal is not routed back to track1 but is routed to the masterchannel. So the effect signal of all routed busses are using just 1 channel and that is pretty bad for mixin purposes..
This technique has no advantage if you are running a modern music pc or even mac. Actually I'm running a project with 23 tracks packed fully with eq/limiter/comp/delay/reverb and using around 25% cpu (few little peaks then and there but no crackling).
Hey im trying to get my 2 drum tracks set with the same auto-filter but even with everything on full the auto filter hardly changes the drums. what am i doing wrong?
Very useful indeed. There are many videos out there about returns and sends - I didn't know how what they were or how to use them 30 mins ago! - but I thought there must be a way of applying an effect to a small part of a track, and they don't show that bit.
Using this method allows you to use a single "universal" effect--like, say, a compressor--on many different tracks without wasting processor power on different, yet similar instances of the same effect.
This method is derivative of older studio setups that used sends/returns for outboard effects, in the days when the choice of effects-per-channel wasn't nearly as staggering due to hardware limitations.
What you suggest and what this teaches are both very viable ways of working.
Great explanation and breakdown. Cheers.

@jimmyPain2121 Then your cpu will be overloaded and you can use the effect on teh send or return channel on various tracks!

This video does. It's brilliant.
