But a "bus object" is not a "bus". They are two different things. I can (and have) deleted my bus objects and routed signals from a channel Out to an Aux Object, using a bus. Though I haven't tried it, I'm sure I could send a signal from the Send in the same manner as well. In other words, a "Bus" is just the virtual wire and it remains and functions just fine without a Bus Object. Aux Objects can function in place of a Bus Object just fine. And an Aux Object has Sends so you can do things you can't do with a Bus Object: like sending a portion of your Drum Group signal to a reverb that you are ALSO using on your Vocal Group.
