Main Track vs. Master Track

[Wilgar Mac]

I notice that Live 12 does not have the Master tack; instead it has the Main track. Does the Main track function exactly the same as the Master track used to? Specifically, if the Main track is rendered, does the render include the Main tracks effects?

Exact same thing, it's just a name change.

But why??

There’s a push in the software/music industry to remove references to master and slave relationships, Ableton is just doing what many music and software companies are doing.
