I do the same... put all my recorded Pulsar Synths (not VST) onto seperate audio tracks so I can tweak them a bit more, add EQ blah blah...
I'm sure there's a better way, but I'm just sad and old and stuck in my ways
Why ? Is this because you've run out of DSP power to EQ your synth tracks ? I have a Luna as well so that gives me 9 DSP's but even with only 6 the Pulsar Mixer lets me have echo, reverb, EQ and chorus on all tracks whether they are coming from external lightpipe, CUBASE VST or REASON.
Then I feed it to my external multiband compressor for mastering via SPDIF before going back to ASIO / VST. I never have to record any MIDI tracks or make more than 1 pass on my final stereo output.

no, but do you SOMETIMES need to use some native efect (specialy insert efect) for some pulsar's synths or something?!?
i do!!

I think Spacef probably wants more control over the final mix for mastering, but I'm sure he can speak for himself.

Yes, exactly, more control for the final mix which is done in studio. So I need every single instruments on seperate tracks (and without reverbs !
) before sending everything to protools or external studio gear (great verbs compressor etc, including pulsar 3 effects like master verb, graph eq, psyQ etc which are great). It's an obligation when i have whish to finalize. However, i also do a "home-finalized" mix with "reduced" tracks (mixes of groups of tracks) but that's for a different purpose (to give an idea of the track and not have to deal with cpu/hard disk speed stuff, because my computer is not a protools
(yet).

Yeah, I guess Ive just designed my system to be able to do a final mix in one pass, so with 9 DSP's and some external SPDIF gear ( Triple C multiband compressor, Lexicon Reverb ) and if I need any FX for an external MIDI synth I get what I need as a PULSAR plugin rather than a VST plugin.
Definately streamlines mastering..........

already have some waves, timeworks, tc... reverbs what sounds amasing. in combinations with few other native efects i have better results then with lexicon pcm90 - so i sale them. i like clear sound with less reverb.
i agre, pulsar's reverb sounds great too. but many filters and other strange efects i can find only in vst.
