[RWP] Routing Tracks to master track

Nope, it's totally non-destructive editing. You're not rendering things 
offline and changing the original wave, just a copy in a project that 
tells it what to do on playback. It can easily be undone well after the 
fact, even if you can't get that far back in your undo history. Most of 
what I do is non-destructive in that way.
