I know what you mean about needing busses, Herb.
RB has had AUX Sends and SubGroups for a long time. Once again, how it is implemented may be different than most other DAWs, and thus people miss it.

I use these a lot, like you do in Sonar.

Once I've used, say, EQ, OBTune, compression and delay on a vocal track (not uncommon), I often need to send it to an AUX buss with a reverb, or maybe two AUX busses (one for the room that gets shared with other tracks and one for ring of that individual track) .. don't get me started on live drums routing.
You can record them as well as you can, but they are gonna need some work, and busses and subgroups and ..

Heck, one of first things I do in a mixing project is load Ambience in AUX 1 slot .. I know I'll end up using it and might as well start enjoying it now..

"We've more similarities than differences"
That was an inside joke; it was a song a few of us on the forum did a few years back.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
