yes and in fl studio and cubase they use tracks as busses. Pro tools too if I remember rightly.
I think orchestras are more often than not recorded with 2 to 4 mics, like Decca Tree technique or some similar technique...
It makes lots of tracks when people like us want to simulate an orchestra and patch all these instruments in a daw.
The way the musicians are placed in the room and the design of the room (theatre, concert hall, ....) is how you get a certain sound or a certain instrument forward or back or another getting more reverb from the room. This art is the ancester of what we now call mixing... and it's fascinating.

yea I am writing orchestral music. Not recording it. therefore 100+ tracks I think the big guys like hans zimmer use 3-400+ tracks.
there is no difference between a track and a bus in FL Studio, none, apart from how you route it. I like that flexibility of FL Studio. If it has its own fader on the mixer then to me its a track. FX track, Instrument track, group track, they are all tracks. IMO
Hahaha... I should be more cautious... I thought we were talking hiphop beats 'round here...
... but hey, the wording in my question was about "beats".
I should have said non-orchestral/non-symphonic/non-chamber music non-rock band/ beats... And one of you would have gone "when you record a jazz tune with a big brass band on top of it, you need 50+ tracks as a minimum"...
...I love you guys

back in the days of Myspace I regularly battled a guy called Symphonic Beats, he always sampled symphonic music, some real good ones too.
I always managed to beat him though, poor sod hahahahahaha

myspace hahaha
its a cool idea though sampling classical elements can make some genuinly dope and interesting stuff, though personally i prefer the idea of composing something orchestral and mixing it with hip hop

this whole thread has me cracking up.
A track for example, has something on it that has actually been tracked . Whether that's your audio file, midi clip. It's tangible.
Busses are just routing.
You don't have your kick coming out of the channel and another duplicate file coming out of the bus 2 playing at once; it's one sound/signal.
Your kick track is playing though the bus.
