I wasn't sure if in Reaper it worked out the same. Let me try to explain. Imagine I create a track, that will serve as purpose of an aux, my doubt was, will it work the same if you, A: Pick the tracks and create sends to that aux. B: Create Receives on the aux track from those same tracks. But I tried it now and realized it is the same thing, when you create a receive it will automatically create the sends on the affected tracks. I know how all this techniques work, I just wasn't sure about the routing method in Reaper as it seems a bit different from others, maybe much more versatile as it seems :) Thanks Hey ben, yes I understood that now.

For example, in Pro Tools or Logic, you would create an aux track then assign all the tracks you want to go to your aux via a buss (like buss 1&2). In Reaper, you set up an aux track and in the I/O set it to receive the tracks you want to go to it, thus automatically creating the sends. Reaper is slightly different from the rest, for sure. Hopefully this makes sense. if not, let me know how you would do this in your DAW of choice and I'll see if I can explain myself a little better.

Because that's how I actually use, but I am pretty new to Reaper, and I know that's the way I do in other DAWs.
