This would be useful for example if you had multiple channels of noisy dialogue that all needed the same basic processing applying to them. It also works across multiple clips and even tracks, so you can re-use chains of processing really simply.

But it makes it easy to apply multiple processes to clips very quickly - it's much faster than repeatedly applying and bouncing.
