Thanks!

Well, my process is heavy on the stem rendering because I use a lot of Nebula instances. Usually it involves two stages:
1. Getting the sounds close to where I want them (including a lot of the Nebula faux-console processing), printing stems of the tracks.
2. Mixing those stems, then running an online render through the bus comp, faux-console master bus program, tape programs (if I'm using them on the project), outboard.

So practically speaking, for simply sending and returning there's an awesome tool in REAPER: ReaInsert. When I render the master out through hardware I just use the Online Render option in the render menu. I'm not entirely positive how I would accomplish that on stems; don't know if it's currently possible to run online stem renders (anybody know? seems like last time I asked there wasn't yet).

Edit: Perhaps the Save live output to disk (bounce) with all the track(s) you want rendered individually? Never tried it though.
