grouping

I have seen this in other daws, but I have looked thru help and forum, can't find it. Is there a way to put a bus right after a group of tracks? For instance, a drum kit , say 8 tracks, going into a bus that is right next to those tracks.. Seems to me that would be a lot more organized, but can't find a way to do it.

    Yup, you can do that.
    Create a bus, and route each Track Out to that bus.

    I think he is asking if that bus could be moved over next to those tracks (amongst other tracks)....  Not that I am aware of, and that would defeat the purpose kinda.  Once you have the kit all sent to the  drum bus & individual track levels set. then the same w/ guitars, bass, voc, etc.  you will no longer need to play with track volumes.  Now you'll have just a few buses to play with the final levels and blend them together.

    Exactly, That's like having a mixing desk with the busses mixed amongst the channels,, I guess someone out there built one once. I believe it's the same in Sonar as it would be on a mixing desk and there is a reason the busses, headphone, metronome stay where they are.

    You can do that in Protools but not sonar. Sonar is like a real mixing desk. Tracks are seperate from the Bus's. I feel if you had load od tracks you could easily loose yourself. I like the Sonar way.

    I can see the MASSIVE amount of confusion I'd go through straight away.

    No disrespect, but I think this is a bad idea.

    Thanx for the replys.. and yea, I saw it in a pro tools video.. I thought for organizational reasons, it would be a good thing. You could color code the tracks to the bus, to keep the confusion down.

    Just treat Sonar as a real console.
