I am using Sonar X3e. I have two mono-interleaved tracks of a single acoustic guitar 14ms out-of-phase. I want to send one to Reverb1.L.bus and the other to Reverb2.R.bus. When I solo these two tracks they play fine, but when I also solo the buses I only hear 100% reverb, no direct sound.
That is correct because when you solo the reverb buses you are muting the Master buses that the tracks are routed to, so all you are hearing is what is being sent to the reverb buses via the sends .
. If I mute the buses, no audio, even though the 2 tracks are still soloed and are not muted. If I unmute the buses and unsolo the buses, the two tracks play fine (although with no reverb).
Yes if you mute the buses that tracks and sends are feeding you will not hear sound even if you have the track soloed. If you were hearing the reverb when you had the reverb buses soloed you should hear it in the mix, you may need to turn it up.
Why does muting the buses turn off the tracks? Why isn't the audio simply going to where I tell it (to the bus, damn you!!) and it shouldn't matter (methinks) whether the bus is muted, soloed, or faded.
The audio is going where you tell it, you are routing the tracks to the bus, when you mute the bus it is gonna mute anything routed to it. Think of the buses like a sub mix on a console, you can have tracks routed to different subs and lower and raise volumes independently or mute out subs.
Yes I have looked at the mixing flow diagram on-line, and it indicates that the send actually "sends" the audio somewhere. There is no "return" in the diagram.
You tell the send which bus to send to when you insert it on the track, the fader on the bus acts as a return to the best of my knowledge.

Me too! Where are you at in Fl.?
