Is there any way to create either a pre FX send to an audio port or a pre FX insert send to an audio port (so without the return leg)?
I want to use this to derive track sends to my analogue mixer (I have a hybrid set-up) but they need to be before any Cubase VST FX which I will use ‘in the box’.
So like an External Analogue Insert but just with the send part.
Yes, there is but you have to think the solution from the other end.
Instead of having a source track with FX and then creating a send from that, you create the track without any FX and another track with all the wanted insert FX on it.
Then you send the signal from the first track to both - the second track and the output bus (which you refer to as audio port).
As often in Cubase the answer is: create an additional track.

Thanks for the suggestion. Can I just check I understand it.
Let’s say I recorded a vocal on track 1. I don’t put any FX on track 1 and use it as my (prefade) feed to my analogue mixer.
So now I need to get the same audio recording onto track 2 which has the FX.
Can I do this by some routing method or do I have to copy the audio from one track to the other?

Yep…Direct routing would likely work well in this case. Right click in inspector and choose it in setup sections.

Thanks.
Could you just explain a little bit how to do that.
How does the audio sitting in T1 get routed to the input of T2? I don’t understand how to do that.
There are different ways that will differ in details, but the principle is the same. One example:
“Audio track” has no effects but hosts the audio event.
Its output is routed to an output bus “Example bus” (the dry signal for your analogue mixer),
the signal is also send to a track that holds all the desired effects. In this case I used an FX track but a you can also use a Group track.
Just an example.
Yes, sorry, I missed some important info…as JM has explained use an FX or group not an audio track and that will be available as a routing destination.
