So a send/Return.
A return track is also called Send or Buss's or Aux which is short for Auxiliary. They all pretty much do the same thing.
There's really only two basic rules to remember:
1) You SEND signals OUT to an IN, INPUT, or RETURN.
2) What you SEND OUT must eventually RETURN to another mixer channel or you won't make any noise.
So say if you have a few things that you want to have a Reverb or Delay on say 10 audio track's/sample's out of 20 then instead of using 10 Reverb or Delays you can just use one Reverb or delay on the Return and then just send the Signal to them. If you want me to go into it a bit more I would be happy to explain!

No need to feel silly mate, We all start at the beginning at some point
What's Mastering?
Well basically once you have mixed down a track (which is what mixing engineers do) and you have a final file, have you notice is don't really sound like something you would hear on the radio? you noticed it need that extra bit of sheen that almost professional Polish to be put on it to make it sound Radio ready?

The return section in able ton is where you can put fxs like filters phasers, whatever. Then you have the send knobs on your track. labeled A B or C. You turn the send knob which sends whats playing in the track to the return fx.
Its a good way of making sure you use just one type of effect for certain tracks, rather than setting up an individual fx chain on each track.
So you need to turn the sends on the track to the return track to get the effect. Hope that makes sense.
