they aren't the same.
a buss is a channel that you can assign groups of tracks onto- this is useful if you want to add the same effect to every part of a drum kit and uses less processing power than putting the effect on each channel separately.

I don't feel confident in explaining what a send is but it's not the same as a buss.

Basicly you send the whole signal to a BUS and part of a signal to the SEND.

If you send a kick to a bus you send the signal through it. If you send it to a SEND you have 2 signals - one from the original channel and one from the send.

You can send a controlled amount of signal to the SEND, thats why it's often used with effects such as reverb - different amount of signal sent to the SEND equal different amounts of reverb to different signals.

BUSes are used as control groups for easier handling of audio. For example: you send your bass layers to it and compress them. Or your drums, or whatever.

A bus is a common electrical path which many signals can be combined into. A send sends your signal elsewhere and you control how much of the signal you want to send..you have no choice with the bus.

alright question numero dos - how the funk do i set up a buss in fruity. Sends are easy to set up so how do i go about creating a buss channel?

do as with sends, but do not route them to the master.

worked a treat nice one . i suppose thats why with sends the output will always be louder as its using two signals instead of one?
