Routing busses 
You can create up to 26 (plus the Master) virtual busses that you can route to hardware attached to your computer or to other busses. 
By default, all busses are assigned to the Master bus. In this configuration, you can use them for creating subgroups of tracks—for 
example, you could route all your drum tracks to a bus so you can adjust their levels together without changing their relative levels. 
When you assign busses to hardware outputs, you can use busses for sending tracks to external effects processors or for mixing on an 
external mixer. 
Important: 
When you route busses to hardware outputs, those busses will not be included in the mix when you render your project. 
Routing a bus to another bus 
Using bus track headers 
1. 
Add busses to your project. For more information, see 
2. 
If bus tracks aren’t already visible, choose Show Bus Tracks from the View menu. 
3. 
Click the Playback Device Selector button on the audio bus track and choose a bus from the menu: 
• 
The button is displayed as a 
 when a bus is routed to the master bus. 
• 
The bus letter is displayed ( 
, and so on) when a bus is routed to another bus. 
• 
The button is displayed as a 
 when a bus is routed to a hardware output (not available for soft synth bus controls). 
Note:
 To prevent feedback, you cannot perform circular routing. For example, if your project has two busses and bus A is routed to B, bus 
B can only be routed to the Master bus. 
Using the Mixing Console window 
1. 
Add busses to your project. For more information, see 
2. 
If the window isn’t already visible, choose Mixing Console from the View menu. 
3. 
If the I/O control region isn’t already visible, click the I/O button in the View pane. 
4. 
To choose an output device, click the Output button and choose a bus from the menu. 
Routing a bus to a hardware output 
Before you get started, verify that you are using Windows classic wave drivers or an ASIO driver: 
1. 
From the Options menu, choose Preferences and click the Audio Device tab. 
2. 
From the Audio device type drop-down list, choose Windows Classic Wave Driver or an ASIO driver. 
3. 
Click OK to close the Preferences dialog. 
Note: 
If you have selected Microsoft Sound Mapper in the Audio device type drop-down list on the Audio Device tab in the Preferences 
dialog, you will not be able to assign the bus to a different device.
