The Bus Concept

Hello rncbc ,..

I have been using qtractor mainly for composing, but today i came to the thing of 'mixing' in qtractor , the problem is i have used 'non-*' before, so there are no buses or sends or aux-sends, everything was just a jack client and mixing is all about adding tracks, plugins and connecting the clients to one-another and adjusting the values until i get the satisfactory results....but in qtractor(after reading the manual and few tutorials online) came across all the weird things that i have never even seen and also did not have any good tutorials, explaining that stuff...so please i would be very glad if u can explain all that weird things.....Thank u Bye

Cheers :-)

maybe tl;dr but the qtractor wiki is currently the better source:
http://sourceforge.net/p/qtractor/wiki/Home/

have a special look on the 4.8 - Signal Flow chapter, please.

have special attention and focus on the diagram shown below, it tries to explain it all in one picture:)

1b. audio strip diagram


1c. MIDI strip diagram

a couple of threads around here might also give you some insights:
