Using the SFP effects as send effects in Cubase?

[piphanz]

Hi,

My project template is getting a little sluggish because of all the plugins I use to equalise, compress etc. I would like to delegate as much as possible to the effects in my Pulsar II instead of using plugins, but I don't know how to route it.

Is it possible to get the signal flow working so that I can record an audio track in Cubase, send it through, say, an SFP compressor, and have it playback in Cubase, as if it were a send effect using a "regular" plugin?

Very, very easy and you'll find it's how most people use it here.

First open a project. Decide how many sends you want. Drag the ASIO2 Source module of your choice into your project, double click on it and increase the sources from 2 to whatever number you have chosen - i use 32. Now you can open Cubase, go to the busses on the mixer page and activate them - Cubase should come up with the right number of busses. Now you can send any source from Cubase to Scope for processing, routing via the mixer etc. In fact i'm not too sure what you're using your card for if not for this.

Now use a Scope mixer, attach all those ASIO Sources to it and you can mix in Scope, taking a stereo mix from the mixer to route back into Cubase and also to you monitoring (via Pulsar Analog Dest) - this way you can use everything real time and don't have to record any of the effects you apply.

If you want to use XTC, you can use the effects in the audio track send or inserts and bounce the main output to a file and load it again.

This is an alternative to what Mr Arkadin proposed.

But that wouldn't be as good of course
