What is on your 2 buss?

I know some folks don't put a ton on their 2-bus and others put everything and the kitchen sink on it. For my business I try to keep as many dollars in house as possible and mastering is often left in house. I get to work with an excellent mastering engineer a few times a year and I love it. I run my 2-bus way differently when I am sending him a mix.

Help with Hybrid DAW Setup 16 channels I/O to analog summing amp back to DAW/ 2 Buss

Man, I thought I had a handle on this but apparently not.

Using Samplitude, Sonar, Cubase, Logic, Reaper whatever... (shouldn't matter what DAW correct)? what do I need to get 16 channels of I/O to a Dangerious 2-Bus or my SPL MixDream and back into my DAW? ( not concerned with cable) just the converter options for now.

2 Buss Comp/Limiter

Looking at a couple of comp/limiters for the 2-bus... I'm currently using a pair of RNC's in "fine mode", a DL251 or a 166 depending on the project/song.

I believe I'm really in need of a dedicated unit... so far the short list is comprised of L2, PL-2, C2 and the 1968ME.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Define 2-bus please?

Ok so I'm pretty new and please excuse the lame question here. When people refer to 2-bus, or 2 buss, or 2-buss etc. are they simply referring to the master stereo output of a mixer? Or is it a different bus before the main outs? I read this term everyday on recording forums, articles and texts and yet after countless hours of internet research I cannot find a clear definition of this term!
