It’s easy…(sorta)

Goto External FX section

Create new mono Effect, name it Cali76 and assign the correct I/O

Insert Cali76 hardware insert into a track (type in Cali76 and it will appear) Make sure Mono and not Stereo track

(annoying part)
Now since you cant Save External FX settings for recall-ability and they aren’t saved with project…every time you use that I/O for something else the setting gets erased and will no longer work. So you need to re-do the above.

—>Imagine now having to do that for 32 channels. (thats my life, Cubase doesnt seem to care tho)

So create it as mono send, mono return right? both???

That is really ridiculous you can’t save the setting. Makes no sense to me. I guess people really enjoy doing everything with plugins but I hate it.

I am not sure what you mean by send? I assume you are trying to do inline series compression (not parallel compression)?
If so, then there is no send/return involved.

An insert has a send and a return

Heres the window I see for external FX section. When I ‘Add external FX’ it gives the options for send configuration and return config

And no for now I’m just going to use it on some synths and samples and what not

Yeh
Mono is 1 channel
Stereo is 2 channels

Your device is 1 channel, so 1 = Mono

Cubase doesn’t handle this as gracefully as Logic X does and you need to configure it correctly.
