Node Based is good stuff.

Let's say you've recorded your playing or singing on a project and made 4 passes at it, from beginning to end.

And you like your performance on the first verse in the first track, but the performance of the second verse sounds a bit better on the next track, and so on.

Without the Nodes available, to manually Edit each piece you like into a new track is time consuming and also can be rather fiddly as to timing, cutting and pasting audio without annoying clicks, pops, etc.

With the Node Based Vol control, you can simply draw the Volume level of three of the tracks right down to zero while drawing the one you want to hear UP.

When you get to where you want to switch tracks for the better performance on another track, just draw the first one down to Zero and bring the one desired UP to the same level as previous.

Etc.

In the recording business, that process is called, "Comping" - Recording Engineer talk for making a "Compilation Track" out of two or more passes. (Not to be confused with the Musician term of Comping, which refers to a certain way of playing chords when accompaniment is your job.)

And - Instead of Punchins the old way, you can now do a Punchin to correct a mistake, and then use the Nodes of the Volume Envelopes to bring it in and out.

Works a treat.
