I'd like to add another bogosity to this thread.

I like to send a group of tracks to a bus, post-fader, simply by setting their track outputs to the bus, then select that bus as the input to another track and print the submix to that track. But when I select a bus as a track output, an aux is automatically created for that bus. I don't need or want the aux. In particular, I don't want for the submix to be audible through the aux, because it means that I'll keep hearing the 'live' submix even after I've printed it to a track. What I'd like to do is to delete the aux, but for some reason when I do this, nothing is audible on the bus. So instead I have to leave the aux hanging around but mute its output.

It would be OK with me to create a track for the aux object and print my submix to that track, but a related bogosity is that aux tracks can't record audio, they only record automation for the aux.

I really, really like the routing in Ableton Live, where it is trivially easy to do the above submix printing, and in fact I really really like the automation editing there too. Unfortunately it has plenty of shortcomings of its own, sigh.
