Re: New to PT v2020. A discussion of Aux's vs Routing Folders.
I guess my next question is, how are you guys finding VCA tracks now that Routing Folders are available? I always liked hitting solo on one button to hear a specific group. It seems Routing Folders work even better since you can not only use inserts, but automate them and use them to print stems! Thoughts on VCA's?

For example, assume you use an Aux Track as an FX Returns, most likely placed on the far right and, for example, have a reverb on that FX Return that you use for the snare, guitar, and some synths, using the Aux Sends on those Tracks. Replacing the Aux Input Track with a Routing Folder Track doesn't help your organization of the Tracks because you wouldn't move those individual Tracks (snare, guitar, synths) next to the Aux Return in your mixer layout. Or am I missing something?

Re: New to PT v2020. A discussion of Aux's vs Routing Folders.
Another note about the Aux Input Tracks and Solo Safe.
The advantage of having all Tracks that send three signals into the Routing Folder Track (Aux Send or Aux SubGroup) is that you can solo the Routing Folder Track and all the Member Tracks inside are automatically solo-saved. With a regular Aux Input Track that is not possible in Pro Tools. Logic Pro has that special "reverse lookup" for Aux Tracks automatically built-in. So, whenever you solo an Aux Track, it looks what Tracks are feeding into that Aux Track and automatically solo-saves them. That comes in really handy if you want to listen to the Aux return to hear what's "going in". That is one of the features I always miss in Pro Tools.

Your example above is basically how I do it. Because my most used reverb is an outboard Bricasti M7 and I send to it from different groups, It is always on it's own Aux Return track. Where as the different groups are now always placed in Routing Folders, which I use even though I seldom go over 20 tracks Recent session here you can see both the M7 and Tape Echo Aux return tracks are placed just to left of the 2 Mix track The acoustic guitar rhythm tracks, and acoustic guitar lead tracks and the vocal track are placed in Routing Folder tracks Both the M7 and in this session the Tape Echo are being used as FX returns and on Aux tracks
