[RWP] A workflow for fake automating groups of tracks or folders

[Scott Chesworth]

Yup, that's what I've been doing. Works like a charm on individual
tracks, but it gets a bit ridiculous when there are 20 tracks of BVs
and I'm having to run 20 separate instances of plugs that I'd
ordinarily be able to cut down to 5 or perhaps less.

Hmmm, taking another approach, is there such a thing as an item-based
send that we can access?
