I watched a video recently showing someone using protools 11. They were routing tracks to a bus, and then the bus was routed to an aux input (labelled 'listen') and an audio track (labelled 'record'). Both LISTEN and RECORD were then routed out. The reason for this was to record in session rather than having to bounce to disk.
 
Question; is this possible in Sonar? It would appear that buses in sonar will only route to other buses. There doesn't seem to be an aux input choice either. How can I record multiple tracks into a single track within sonar?
 
PS, I am pretty creative, but not very techy, so go easy on me please. I spend an awful lot of time reading posts I haven't a clue about here. The perils of self-taught techno-phobes :)

What is it you want to do? I'm not clear on that by the post you made. 
 
List what you have and what you want to do with it. Example "I have 10 audio track and I want to mix them down to one stereo track". 

The closest you could do is choose "bounce to track(s)" and disable fast bounce.
Not entirely sure what the advantage would be though.
 

Hi, and thanks, John and Sanderxpander
 
The idea is to take a bunch of audio tracks and route them through one bus, which has various effects applied to it. Then, I want to record what I have direct into a new audio track rather than having to mixdown all tracks to one exported wav. I'm not sure why he had an aux input for listening. All I wanted to do was to replicate what he did...as to why? hmmm....
 
Not sure what the difference between fast bounce and bounce to tracks is?

There are rare cases where some folks like to mess with synth or effect settings in real time as the song plays. They could automate but this is a creative process that leads to a abstract one of a kind recordings. These people have asked if it is possible to record "what you here" directly from the master buss to a new audio track. If the Master Buss had a "Track"  as an output option this would be possible.  The work around is you have to do a loop back out and back in which involves patch cables and your song being D/A - A/D'd which is a bummer. 
 
But if the OP is only interested in creating a basic stereo mix down of the song then Sonars "export" function is the correct way. 
First use "Select None"  
Go to Export Audio
In the Dialog the default should have all the correct settings but you'll need to change 32 bit to a 16 bit if your making CD's from the file. 
Make sure to create a new folder for your " mixdowns" where you can find it. 
 

Yes, Merwyn, you can do that in SONAR.
 
SONAR can't render a bus like some DAWs can, but it can easily bounce a bus to a track. Just select the bus as the source and a new track as the target in the bounce dialog. Then mute the original tracks and the bus after bouncing.
 
Most people don't do this most of the time, however. Mainly because the bus effects are going to be printed with the bounce, disallowing further tweaks. There are very few advantages to rendering submixes beyond saving some CPU processing. 
 
 

I have a plugin here that allows you to route any track/buss/send into another track. I think it will do what you want.
 
Edit: I just changed the link to a better thread.

Once I found Tracks / Bounce to tracks in Sonar Professional, it all seemed so easy...just what I was looking for, thank you so much :)
 
@ Silk Tone
 
Thanks for this neat plugin. I'll test it out later but it looks very interesting.
 
Great advice chaps, really appreciate your help!

It's a free plugin, but I hope to make it up in volume
