If you can route your main mix easily and internally back to a track you do not need to even export any audio from that track either. The audio has already been recorded! So it is even faster than that. All you have to do is make sure you name the track correctly. Then you just go into the folder where your audio is and there it is. No export required.
Patching signals externally is fiddly and not the best way as is doing a side chain thing as well. Very roundabout way to achieve the result.
They should just put the feature in and be done with it. But it is slightly dangerous and if you are silly you can get a feedback loop. So I can sort of see why too they don't do it. But then again a hammer in the wrong hands can be dangerous too but in the right hands an amazing tool.
The main advantage of this feature is when
you get involved somehow with either a virtual instrument or a mix while it is playing. (just like the old days!) Hey think of all those fellas standing around making moves when they mixed Dark Side of the Moon. I believe
many had their hands on the mixing console at some point.
