Hi All, I mentioned on an earlier email about routing effects, I forgot to put I'm using Sonar 7 encase there maybe differences on the newer systems. Just to recap, I understand how to rout effects through hardware mixers and effects units. The problem I'm having is thinking virtual, I can't seem to quite get my head around this, I'm not managing to understand the help files on this one. I know it's a pain but please could one of you guys send a simple step by step on how to set up the busses, how to assign effects to them and finally how to send the chosen tracks through them. It would be very much appreciated.

I think it might have something to do with setting the outputs to auxe tracks? then going to the bus pain and setting the effect in the corresponding auxe track. but, that's just me barking, whether I'm up the right tree or not is another matter entirely.

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.

I know I must seem a pain, it's just it's all still quite knew to me. Steve W www.jerryleelewis.co.uk
