i have this problem.
when i use asio 2 in 32flt, monitoring is corrupted, sometimes it cuts the sound of a scope synth.
for example i play six-string and after trying to pass it through a vst effect in an audio channel in nuendo dirrect monitoring does not work properly.
in fact asio1 without direct monitoring works just fine, but in that case i have to send the audio in another channel so i use 2 channels for the same instrument.
is there a safe and stable way of using direct monitoring? i mean to listen to the instrument and when pressing the monitor button to listen only to the sound passing through nuendo, and not both like one sound passed through vst effect and the original sound in the background.
what is the best way anyway of passing scopes synths through vst effects realtime?

Why not use the control room module in Scope for switching between a mix & monitor signal?

mmm, maybe that's not what you're after tho.

Isn't it a limitation of Cubase/Nuendo that if you use Direct monitoring you can't hear internal FX and VST fx while playing?

direct monitoring only allows you to monitor a dry input signal, not a signal with VST/fx. it works by instructing the ASIO driver to send the input signal right back at the output before it hits the ASIO buffers (and thus skips the latency.)

Turn direct monitoring off and click the little speaker icon in Nuendos channel(s).
And use the lowest ulli setting you can.
