Hi All, I've been adding effects to my project by using the application key. I'm aware it's easier on the system if you apply effects to a bus then send the tracks through the bus. I do this all the time with hardwhere , I use a Fostex 12 into 8 into two mixer with external effects. The problem I'm having is thinking virtual, I can't seem to quite get my head around this, I'm not being able to understand the help files on this one. I know it's a pain but please could one of you guys send me an simple step by step on how to set up the busses and how to assign effects to them and finally how to send the chosen tracks through them. I know I must seem a pain, it's just it's all still quite knew to me. Steve W www.jerryleelewis.co.uk
