I recorded a song which has lots of fingerpicking guitars doubling each other:
- three tracks electric guitar
- two tracks acoustic guitar
This was a nice moment to utilize Aux tracks.
First I routed two acoustic guitars to the "Larrivee Acoustic Aux". Acoustic guitars needed different processing than the electric ones; high freq limiting to get rid of fret noise, lots of compressor and low cut eq.
Next I routed all electric guitar tracks and the acoustic guitar Aux track to a new Aux track, "Finger Mix Aux". Now all the guitars are summed nicely to one track just below the input tracks. This is just so cool - it's so much faster to adjust things as the source tracks are always next to the mix sum (if you want to).

Note how I have grouped all source and aux tracks solo buttons in order to be able to solo all guitars with just one click. Currently soloing aux track without soloing also the source tracks does not play anything out (correct me if it's user error). Maybe it will change in the future updates.
