Default Help creating submixes for headphones

Hi guys,

in all my projects i have 8 busses going out to 8 different hardware out and then into an headphone router (personal headphone mixing system).

my goal is to assign a shortcut that sends selected tracks to a specific buss, pre-fader, always at 0dB.

if i use cue buss generator, every time i run the action on selected tracks, Reaper create a new cue buss, that works well, but what i want is to feed always the same 8 busses, not to create a new one every time... i can't figure out how to do it.

some ideas?

thank you!

Save your project with a name.

Load the named project next time. Pick up where you left off.

Moving forward...
Start from saved projects. Treat them like templates.
There are specific template features to dig into if you want more flexibility.
You can save tracks with their inserts and import them into new projects.

Moving further forward...
You can assign mutes for example, to keyboard shortcuts. Make keyboard shortcuts to toggle on/off each of your headphone mixes.

FYI, tracks are universal in Reaper. There aren't buses vs. tracks vs hardware masters. You can route a track as any or all of those as you wish. For a hardware output bus: Make a track. Assign a hardware output to it. Route whatever source tracks you wish to it. Call it "monitor x out" or whatever you please.

thank you Serr!
you mean to use subprojects? can you explain better this solution?

i've tried track template too, but it doesn't work on my case, because in order to save sends you must save return tracks too. it doesn't fit my needs

i've considered this solution, but sends must to be already created, my need is a step before that, i would a key to automate the creation of sends on a track (or more than one). once created sends as i need, routing them will be not a problem

hardware outputs actually is not a solution for me, because are post fader, i need that selected tracks being sent to headphones busses in pre fader mode.

i know that reaper tracks are universal, Reaper is my main daw since 2010.
i've created tons of custom actions to solve others problems, but i didn't have this need since now, and (believe me) i can't find any solution in this case...
