Sending to two busses simultaneously?

[Steve Ennever]

OK, is there a simple provision, like on all professional mixing consoles & Pro-Tools, to send a channel/track to more than one bus simultaneously.  

I realize you can set up a 'send' to do this, but is there no way to simply command - this track goes to bus B & C? 

Thanx

On a professional console you would have to click n number of buttons to send to n number of busses

Similarly in Sonar, you have a to click the + sign and select a bus.

Hi, press + where exactly? 

Say I would like to send track 1 to busses B, C & D simultaneously, how would I implement this?  

Thanx

HI, @Steve Ennever

See the image below.  Track 1 is primarily directed to Master (by default) but I have also created a SEND to Bus B, and I'm about to create a second SEND to Bus C having right-clicked on some empty space in the Track Header.

After that, Track 1 will be simultaneously outputting to Bus A (Master) and Bus B and Bus C

Thanks for asking and thanks for the solution. I have never done this in Cakewalk (only on some hardware mixers) and once I added a Send to a Console Strip and then expanded the height of the Sends module, there it was!   🙂

This feature is great for parallel compression on the master bus too. Occasionally I do tri-parallel compression/saturation splits and blend back to a master bus.

Yeah - this functionality is essential. I send literally EVERYTHING to multiple busses, and often on to a summing bus from there before sending to the Master Bus. My original tracks almost never route directly to the master.

same - pretty much everything goes through sub-mix busses or aux tracks, then stem busses + effects busses before going to the master and various output busses for printing, monitoring, alternate mixes etc.
