I like my recordings.
if you have 24 mono chanels, you cant have just left and rigt out, thats why you can have 4 busses or subgroups, so you can say what mic goes out from what out or bus or subgroup:
the 8 mics of the drums bass and guitar bus 1 & 2
the lead vocal, backvocals and lead guitar bus 3 & 4
and then main out or master...
you can use the for multitrakc recording, for mixing, they bring you a lot of help...

Think of each buss as a mono channel where you can route sound from the input channels. You can use the busses however you see fit. Often, they're used in pairs as a stereo submix. You might route a bunch of drum tracks to a pair of busses, for example. That way, you could control the level of your entire drum mix with just the 2 buss faders instead of 6 or 8 input faders.
Don't think in terms of "how am I supposed to use 'em", just think of busses as a handy utility for routing things. There's tons of things they can be used for.

exactly.
you can use busses for anything. i like to think of them as mixdown channels before actually recording. Like as said before, you can route all of your drums to one of the busses, that way you dont have to keep mixing them, and also it saves you channels on your recorder. I like to buss effects as well. That is just routing the effect to a buss. This functions as a master volume control for the effect, and allows you to send whatever track you want to that effect. They are just good tools to have. the more youve got, the more flexibility you can acheieve in your mixes.

Four mixes? Cool. One for stage monitors. One for subs. One for foldback monitors. One for recording. Direct Outs for recording the whole thing via HD multi-track. My most important consideration is the mic channel pre-amp noise floor relative to my dbx 386 pre.
