Here's a mild annoyance - when I add a new synth via the synth rack (the red + sign) it chooses the first buss (in alphabetical order I think) rather than my "main" buss (which all the other busses feed in to) - to attach the synth output to.
 
Does anyone know if there is a way to set the default buss that a new synth will attach to?
I guess I could use the "add track" wizard from the track View - but it's quicker from the synth rack.
I have templates for a lot of synths (which have everything connecting to the right place) but sometimes you just want to add a quick synth in - and I always forget that it's not connected to the right buss.
 
Thanks
 

You can right click on a buss and set it as a default buss but it will default for everything, not just soft synths.

I've only been using SONAR since it came out (And Cakewalk Pro Audio for years before that) so I never noticed this.

When I started using Andrew Scheps' rear bus method, I started going through a lot of existing projects and adding additional bussing, noticed the "set as default bus" option and thought, "didn't notice that before, hmmmm"

Do you have a reference to this'Andrew Scheps' rear busing?' Thanks!!

Thanks! I will look into that in a bit.

I love the rear bus method, imo, gives a mix a 3d dimension.
