Ah I think I see, but then the track you want compressed needs to have the out 
put set to the compressed bus? Not have the aux send of that bus just inabled 
on that track and use the aux send volume for how much compression you hear? 
That's what I have done, used a compresser vbus say on aux 2 enabled the send 
and turned the send up abit. Sounded like I was getting more compression. But 
now I'm thinking I should send tracks to one bus with the compresser on it, and 
work with input gain to drive the compresser. Could I be right with this idea?

  You can certainly put compression on busses.  I often will have 8 background 
vocal tracks assigned to a bus and just add some compression to the whole thing.

    Just to make sure I understand. You only put compression on individual 
tracks? Never use the busses? I thought  I was getting somewhere when I had a 
separate bus for compression and would use that on certain tracks. I was 
probably just turning the volume up and down. But when I've tried it on single 
tracks, I can't seem to find anyway in the track inspecter to control the 
compresser. It's been awhile, but it seems like my only options were the 
presets. I'm using sonar four though.
