first off, sorry for being REALLY annoying with all my recent posts but i just want to learn as much as i can.
Here we go, if i link all my instrument channels to a buss, why cant i just use a delay and reverb on that buss instead of using a send? is there really a difference? both ways i only use one reverb and delay to control all instruments wich wont effect my cpu load.

Yes, you can do that and it may be preferable in some situations. You'd use the wet/dry controls to blend the dry signals with the reverb and delays. However, there are some disadvantages to doing it this way. First, either the reverb would be delayed or vice-versa depending on their order in your FX bin. If you put them on separate aux buses, they will be separate (parallel) in terms of signal flow and independent of one another. Second, all instruments routed to the bus will have the same amount of reverb and delay applied to them. If you keep them on separate FX aux buses, you'll have individual control over the amount of reverb/delay applied to each instrument via their respective send levels. Basically, your idea is not a shortcut to using separate sends - you'll get different results.
