Bouncing tracks
The Track view Tracks > Bounce to Track(s) command lets you combine one or more audio tracks into a submix.
A submix can be a mono track, a stereo track or several mono tracks that contain the mixture of the original tracks,
preserving the volume, pan, and effects for each track. If you’re bouncing tracks that are routed to a surround bus
(SONAR Platinum only), you can bounce them to as many mono tracks as you have surround channels, by
choosing the Split Mono option in the Channel Format field of the Bounce to Tracks dialog box, and also
choosing a surround bus in the Source Category field. After their creation, the submix tracks are just like any
other tracks—you can edit them, add effects, copy them to another project, etc. The original, unmixed audio tracks
are not deleted, so you can archive them and recover them later, or continue using them as before.
The Track view Tracks > Bounce to Track(s) command operates completely offline, meaning you can mix down
tracks that may be too complex for your machine to actually play in real time.
Here are some reasons to use Bounce to Track(s):
Your mix is so complex that real-time playback is impossible. Bounce to Track(s) produces the correct mix,
and store the result in a new track or tracks.
You require more CPU time for your real-time effects. With Bounce to Track(s) , you can premix some of your
tracks with real-time effects applied, saving CPU time during playback.
If you mix down to tracks that already have data, the new events are placed in the track, but do not overwrite
existing material.
To mix down (bounce) audio tracks
1. Set all volume, pan, effects, and automation settings just as you want them.
2. Select the tracks or clips you want to mix down.
3. If you are using effects on the tracks and want to mix the effects down at this time, select the whole length of
the longest track or clip plus an extra measure for the reverb or effects “tail.”
4. Click the Track view Tracks menu and choose Bounce to Track(s) to open the Bounce to Track(s) dialog
box.

Yes an aux track has exactly the same features as any other track.

Those were great ideas. I just tried to make a patch point for 4 acoustic guitar parts to adjust vol all at once and failed. What was posted in the blog was mostly over my head. I do get the gist, but not the details of making it happen.

Curious as to why you don't assign the faders to a group. Then when you move one fader, the others in that group follow. Was this just an experiment to understand how the patch point feature works?

Because I have yet to learn about groups?

Say you have two faders you want to group so that either one of them will also move the other.
Right click on one of the faders.
Select Group/New.
Name the Group i.e. Tubas
Select a color for the Group.
Click OK.
Right click on the next fader you want to add to the group.
Select Group/Tubas
You'll see the color you selected for the group at the bottom of the fader.
This can be done for other controls, i.e. Pan, Reverb level, etc.
 
Hope this helps,
