When I use "parallel compression" on a drum mix, the way I normally do it is send all my drum tracks to 2 separate "Aux" tracks. One with a slight amount of reverb and minimal compression and the 2nd Aux track I totally squash with tons of compression. I nomrally don't print either AUX track and simply have them both active (Aux to much lower than Aux 1) when summing.
If I want to use an external compressor I just send the drum mix out through 'analog 1-2' and then bring it back in on a stereo track and print it. I don't however know how to print an Aux track. I thought I did but I don't. So my basic question is how to i print or record an aux track?
Thanks in advance!

Re: printing an Aux track??
Just assign that auxillary to a stereo or mono bus and set an audio tracks inputs to the same and record.
