Audio Connections - External Effects

I haven’t tried this but I would like for it not to be necessary. I wish there was a way for either global preset or to “reserve” inputs/outputs for specific devices and not lose them everything. In my setup I have multiple external devices, not just effects but potential audio interfaces/sources, depending on what I’m doing I don’t need them all on at the same time, but cubase routing breaks if anything changes. Would love for this to be addressed.

Having said that, I just came across this from another post, going to look into it, but I don’t think it helps for audio connections.

An all-in-one selection would be ideal.
