So, what's the deal with busses in v5, maybe i got the wrong picture.

anyway I want to use this same reverb for a couple tracks of guitars. So, I click the "add bus" icon above the masterVUmeter thing. It adds bus A. I route all 4 of my guit tracks to bus A. And then bus A sends whatever it getse back to the master chanel, which i'm monitoring etc.

Thing is, all of the tracks are panned differently.

having one reverb for all of these (since it'll have the same settings anyway) saves a TON TON TON TON on my cpu load, so it really seems nessecary to do it.

ANYTHING I send to that bus gets sent to the master straight down the middle, UNLESS I pan the bus track itself - which I don't want to do ofcourse (because all 4 guit tracks should be panned differently)!

Am I missin something here? ha.
 
Your post is confusing me. Why add a bus? You want to add an effect, not a bus. I do this all the time, especially with drum tracks. I often will have a different reverb for drums than for vox. So often FX1 will be drum reverb and FX2 will be vox reverb.
 
well thats still odd though.. i would assume its a bug with the release you got..

i have an older version and i do exactly what you're describing all the time.. often making a bus and sending all the guitars through one.. different drum tracks EQed the same through another and whatnot..

only mine retain their panning..
that's why i assume its a bug
 
interesting, alright. I kinda think I remember reading about this even in the Sony forums.....I guess I'll download the latest build (if there is a new one!).

but mad audio:
I'm saying, I like to group my FX. Like, basically make an FX send - but use only ONE plugin through vegas to do it. So for example, Instead of inserting an identical Reverb on all 4 guitar tracks - I'll just insert one reverb on a bus and send all 4 tracks to it. That way it saves a load on my CPU for the more intensive plugins.
 
Shack, but that's what I'm saying, too. For example my drums are recorded on a 7 tracks: kick, snare, tom 1, tom 2, tom 3, OH left, OH right. But I only have one FX in the master bus for drum reverb. I just use the fx sends from each track. Pretty much the same thing, just a different way of doing it. I also set the parameters on the reverb so that it's 0% dry out and 100% wet out.
 
..wait, how do you set FX sends? hahaha. I didn't know vegas had em!!! haha.
 
The track pan fader is actually a multi-funtion fader. Once you add an FX to the master bus, you can change the pan fader to the appropriate effect. I'd show a screenshot, but I'm at work.
 
hm, I notice that now.

So you're saying if I mute the track on hte master and put the fader up to 0db for bux A, it's the same as routing it to bus A?
