I am curious to know why there is a need for AUX track, what can we not do with BUS that we can do with AUX? 

 
If I'm working on Drums, for example, I want the aux track beside the drum tracks. Not grouped with the Master faders so that I have to scroll around all the time. That's just one small example.
 
Is there a reason there SHOULDN'T be aux tracks?

So if you could move a bus it would be ok?

Me patiently waiting for Aux Tracks/Track to Track routing in Sonar

Well, you haven't seen how it's implemented yet. You might end up like this:

It would be more ok than it is now, but I'd like to be able to print to a new track.

I think that guy doesn't wait. He's a timelord.

I am using BUS for that. All the BUSes (Aux tracks) together beside the Master fader.
 
But, if I would have Aux Tracks then I could compare..

Sonar Sidechain Mixer Plugin ? http://forum.cakewalk.com/Plugin-now-available-Would-a-quotSidechain-Mixerquot-plugin-be-useful-to-anyone-m3158831.aspx

Not sure if this helps you but if you open the Inspector and deselect any active tabs at the top (so none of the Clip, Track/Bus, ProChannel tabs are blue) then it will display the currently selected track on the left and the bus being fed by it on the right.
 
Bit of a hamfisted solution but you do get access to quite a few controls side by side (most importantly the fader strips with all the Sends, FX Bin, etc you'll find in Console view). I am not familiar with what strips in other programs will provide in the direct routing setup side by side but it might even be more.
 
What I usually do though is just open the console, drag the bus/track divider out then use the horizontal scroll bar to show the track(s) I want on the track side and the busses being fed by those tracks on the right side. That way I can not only access the console strips of both the track(s) and bus but easily access each of their Inspectors (like if I already have the inspector open I just click on the strip and KAPLOW... it's there... if the Inspector isn't open all I gotta do is press I).
 
Honestly I don't really like the workflow of having all my busses mixed in with my track strips (that's just me). Too messy and confusing.
 
However I DO want this track to track routing and after some annoying issues I discovered recently I am hoping that I'll be able to use a blank MIDI track's automation lanes to control the parameters on any other track (like the level, pan, effects, whatever).
 
I of course also like the idea of being able to record or send directly into another track just because that could definitely be useful in certain situations.
 
I would still use the current bus scheme for proper bussing. It is just cleaner to me and I can use all the cleanliness I can get due to my chaotic mind.
 
I'm sure the Baker's are busily (and carefully) coding away so defintiely be patient. This is a biggie and I'd really not want a rushed to market version. There are so many factors to consider here and it would be better if they, as latecomers to this comparitively old feature, took the opportunity to smash the old paradigms and made it more useful. The other guys are stuck with their methods because their customers would POP if they got too radical. Cake doesn't have that problem.
 
JMO...
 
Cheers.

I just don't see a need for "Auxiliary" tracks. Just add an audio trk, done?

Am I missing something again? : )
