I suppose you can get part way there with the mixing matrix, but it's a less than ideal solution, IM0.
Lol, Reaper's interface is designed for people who loved Vegas and miss it, it's really user friendly (I especially like that whatever fader/know you have highlighted is adjustable by scroll-wheel). As far as bussing, you've basically got infinite routing on Reaper, so you can do stuff with fx that you could only dream about before! The ideal solution, IM0.
