    Thats the aux bus section. It's the activator for the bus (green button by A1 or A2), gain, pan, and pre/post. Hope this helps.

    Those are your two aux buses. For instance, you could run a reverb in one and a chorus in the other and use buses on your tracks to save CPU and cheat the effect limit. However, I cannot think of a single song I recorded on MC that I used an Aux buss on (just now in SONAR I'm kinda getting into it, just kinda though). Hope this helps.

    I would have thought you to be a aux busse guy, I use them on every song, I like the way i can tailor every track to have just the amount of effect it needs with precision., I am rethinking doing EQ that way, I have fooled around with EQing like you suggested, and I can see some benefits from custom EQing each track and sweeping the EQ.

    I'd Seize the day but i can't quite reach it!

    Yeah, you'd think so... I will do what the track needs by all means (EQ and more on every track usually), but I just don't like aux bussing. It just interferes with my logical process (which is basically all mixing is). I can do most anything done on an aux bus with a simple wet/dry. Granted, I am VERY into bus routing like in Sonar. I still don't use anything as aux, but I will route tracks to buses with crossing delays and such. It's very helpful in that regards.

    HTH,
    Joe
