Just because you don't use it doesn't mean they are rarely used:)  While I
don't use it to often, it is a technique I do use on occasion depending on
the material, and does provide an improvement if used correctly.  You also
have things like vocoders etc. that also require busses in Ardour to use
correctly, and of course lets not forget anything sidechained which is far
from uncommon and something I do QUITE often actually for a combination of
reasons.

All this being said I suppose this thread is fully hijacked so I made a new
thread for it(I hope, first time I tried in GMail's 'new' interface)
