Hi All, I’m looking for some thoughts on the difference/preference between adding reverb as an insert on a bus (group channel) vs. as a send on an FX channel. It’s a hard thing to a/b. My hunch is that there is more depth with a send, moreso than what a mix knob can accomplish. On the other hand, n…

First off - Group channels and FX channels are identical (They didn’t used to be but as of 4.5 they are). Everything you can do with a group channel you can do with an FX channel and Vice Versa. Now - using with inserts vs sends. Sends are typically used with effects like reverb. Allows you to…

thanks. yeah, i totally understand and implement the multiple instance concept. generally/lately i’ve been giving each element it’s own individual space and have been wondering if the mix knob on, say REVerence, wasn’t as sophisticated with the audio as dialing it in as a send.

FX vs Group Channels - how to choose?

I don´t know if you actually read my previous post, but in Cubase Elements 6 the same restrictions apply. FX tracks don´t have sends, and can be routed to ouputs only.
