Thanks man! Didn't know you could bounce to bus, searched for the feature but never found it!

Shameless plug... (see what I did there? )
 
Sidechain Mixer gives you some additional routing options, like sending from a bus back into a track. And of course you can also route from track-to-track to create a track bus.
 
So in the example where bouncing from a bus to a track would be required, you can simply drop Sidechain Mixer into the track's FX bin and route the bus output back to the track in realtime, no bounce required.

Thanks te teego...

Right after saying it I realuzed I do do all the time sending subs to main etc... I was too busy being bothered by the fact that I can't simply do a pre-fx send as I'm so used to thinking that way from analog days...

Always appreciate everyone's efforts to help...

WOW that sidechain mixer, and its free!!!!! WOW!!! Surprised/disappointed not to have seen it mentioned in any official cakewalk videos?! Guess it pays off to hang out in the forum :D
Thanks to whoever created it!!!

I believe it was made by Silktone... Forgive me if I'm incorrect...

I just moved a copy to my Dropbox so I can grab it on my DAW later... I'm thinking what a handy little gadget this will be if I understand how it is used... I'm excited to try it ASAP too!

My thanks as well...

Well, TBH I'm hoping that enough people find this useful so that CW is convinced there is demand for this workflow. Enough to convince them to add a per-track option to make that track's input available to other outputs and sends.

I'm with you there!

...but this will do a lot in the meantime!

I would also prefer that "PRE" would actually be displayed as "PRE" instead of just greyed-out "POST", as it used to be in earlier versions of Sonar.

Oh god yes.

Funny how I can find it confusing at times regardless... ;-)

Is it telling the state or the tool the button accesses.... ;-)

I woukd love two LEDs... One that is lit showing pre and the other lit showing post...
