Is there a way to select all the tracks and have them auto set up their corresponding bus?
In this case a drum kit is being set up, each track (kick, snare, etc) gets it's own bus.
Like the automation that happens when setting Soft synths All Synths Audio outputs (stereo), creates all the tracks.

No. However one can send all folder outs to a buss. I'm not sure why one would want a buss per track.

I don't think so, but if you can elaborate on what you want to accomplish by having each track terminate in its own bus, there may be a workaround.

hmmm, well now i feel silly. seems there is no reason to have all the drums have their own bus, except for console view mixing convenience? I'm sure there was a cakewalk tutorial somewhere about setting buses for all the drums.
kick, snare, ride, RT(grouped) FT(grouped) etc, so you don't have to go to the track when mixing.
I'm trying to set up Toontrack SD2, EZD2 and AD2 Drum Templates, to have a starting point for projects.
I like working in Console view, not the horizontal Tracks.

What would be the advantage? Each track has all the control you need. A buss is used as a grouping of tracks. A way to adjust all at once. Add common FX and so on. When you need to work on a particular drum goto its track.
 
By outing each track to its own buss you are duplicating the track control with little gain. You will still need to bring them all to one buss at some point.

Don't rule it out totally. Sometimes there are good reasons for some parts of the kit having a dedicated bus. It's not unusual to have 2 bass drum sources or 2 snares that need to be mixed together. Or you might want to do parallel processing on a hi-hat. I recently had a project in which 2 separate (midi) drum kits were playing in unison. Each pair of items needed a separate bus.
