this one should be easy..but for me it's an adventure..
I have BFD all (actually Ultra) runing in t2. I want to send all the tracks though a parallel bus w/ heavy compression and then come back and blend in with the uncompressed BFd sounds..This is just a technique i like for extra punch..problem is that I can't figure it out in t2.I can send all the drums to a new channel and make it a submix and comp that (which i do..lightly)..but how can i get a parallel bus to squish the shit out of and mix back in with the drums?

Remember that all filters have a wet/dry option. Select the compressor and a wet/dry option will be shown in teh properties panel. You can use this to mix some compressed audio with an uncompressed signal. Set both to 50%, and you should get the effect you are after.
For more complicated stuff, you'll probably need to use a rack to create the parallel bus part of what you are trying to do.

Just like the humour around here.
