Re: Better project clips/file management and positionable bus tracks

Does nobody else want bus tracks to be freely positionable?
I totally depend on that (that's one of the reasons why I cannot do any important mixes in Sonar yet - it simply slows me down too much).
As an example, consider a project with the following drum tracks:
1.) Kick in
2.) Kick out
3.) Kick sub
4.) Snare top
5.) Snare bottom
6.) Hi-Hat
7.) Ride
8.) Tom 1
9.) Tom 2
10.) Tom 3
11.) OH L
12.) OH R
13.) Room L
14.) Room R
15.) Mono Room
A typical routing would look like this:
16.) 1, 2, 3 -> Kick Bus
17.) 4, 4 -> Snare Bus
18.) 8, 9,10 -> Toms Bus
19.) 11, 12 -> Overheads Bus
20.) 13, 14 -> Stereo Room Bus
21.) Drums Parallel Bus
22.) 6, 7, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 -> Drums Bus
In Sonar I have to hop between tracks and busses A LOT, which extremely slows down the workflow (and hence the mix quality). In other DAWs I can place the bus tracks right beside the audio tracks they belong to and work on the drum mix without any interruptions.
