Thanks ---- it was a cool process to watch. While recording the mix to that track, they tweak a small section in the mix, and then just punched recorded it over that last part, and so did a quick on the fly edit of the final tracking.
I do that all the time in SONAR. I bounce the tracks through the master to another track. Not only does this allow the technique you describe, but it preserves the mixes in the project folder.
I often bounce several versions to tracks, and use exclusive solo to compare them.
The other issue that prevents this in Soanr - we cannot route a Master bus to a new track for recording of the whole mix!!!
Actually it's easier in SONAR, because you don't have to deal with routing. Simply bounce the master bus output to a track. The track will contain the sum total of everything happening in the mix.
