You have to remember that analog mixers have evolved over many years to
the state they are in now. It seems to me that they have evolved to meet
the needs of the users. For instance, buses and aux sends are essentially
the same thing (except aux sends have additional gain controls). They have
evolved into seperate systems because people use them for seperate purposes.
IE they have evolved to fit the way people think about and work with music.
ProTools and the other DAW's seems to follow these metaphors to start
with and evolve from there based on user feedback. The main advantage is
that in software you can take away the limitation of having everything hard
wired (You can have 24 buses on a channel or you can have 24 aux sends,
which ever you prefer).
