I know and I'm sure it's been told here several too many times around that the bus configuration dialog (View/Buses...) is not that of a model in intuitiveness, if you know what I mean :) But then again, and this has been also confirmed as too many times, once you figure it out the first time then everything just turns out next like a breeze. It's not just the buses dialog, you can also see the same interaction pattern in some other dialogs in Qtractor, specially the tempo map one (View/Tempo Map...).
And if you find that all cumbersome, to match the bus layout to your most frequent or current studio rig and patchwork, you can always turn your nice bus layout graved in stone and turn it on as a template (View/Options..,/Display/New session template). That way, of course, every time you start a new session from scratch (File/New) you'll get everything ready OOTB. You just need to pull up your sleeves, may that be the right wording for you :)
Ah, re. simultaneous recording, well, uh, look! there's this motto up there since its birth: "An audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer". What dit you thought about the "multi" part of that? ;)
Thanks!
