Hi, I have serious trouble get my recorded track out of Nuendo to my external BAE EQ for some tweaks and then recording it back in Nuendo.
I have the RME DS 8 so I have multiple ins and outs. But I am not understand how to set things up in Nuendos connection.
I do like this, Creating a new OUTPUT track which recievs my recording I then try to route from the OUT-trackto a availble INTRACK for an EQ:ed version. I can send the audio internally using the sends TO but not back IN to Nuendo…
Gaah drives me crazy! Please help.
Best regards Micke S.
Hi,
The easiest way is to use External FX bus, which is designed exactly for this.
Open VST Connections > External FX. Click Add External FX. Set the name of the bus (probably BAE EQ), set Send Configuration (Mono/Stereo…), and Return Configuration. If you can/want to control the effect via MIDI, you can Associate MIDI Device. Click OK.
New bus is created. In the Device port column, set your Input and Output ports, where is your BAE EQ connected to the RME DS 8. (Send Bus = Output; Return Bus = Input). You can also set Delay, in the Delay column, if you know, the BAE EQ has some latency. And you can also define Send and Return Gain, if needed. The settings is done, now.
Add an Audio track, open Inserts, and find the BAE EQ, which is located under the External Plug-Ins folder. Use it (almost) as a plug-in.
Jesus Martin, you save my whole week with your answers. Again, many thanks!
Micke.
I was a little hasty there… After setting up efx-busses I now have signal from DS 8, 3/4 out to my BAE eq and back in to Nuendo on IN 1/2. I can see the signal but there is no audio to hear. When disengaging the inserts in Nuendo the audio is audible… What am I now doing wrong!?"!
Please some more help…/Micke.
Hi,
So you can see the signal on the input meters of your Audio Device? Can you also see the signal on the Input Bus of Cubase?
Is the Send Gain and Return Gain set to 0.00dB in the “plug-in” window?
Are you sure, you set the correct Inputs/Outputs? Send Bus 1 to 3/4 out and Return Bus 1 to 1/2 In?
Maybe lets try to attach some screenshots.
Sorry for beeing stupid but… how do I make a screenshot?
Micke
ok, I will get back later after weekend regarding this…
Ok I have solved it… Thanks!

Hello Martin,
Sorry to hijack Soderlund’s post. I’m having similar issues.
I have created an External FX bus for my Avalon 747 piece.
I have assigned the Send Bus 1/Return Bus 1 to my MOTU 24 I/O, channels 23/24.
I am trying to send my drum bus out to the Avalon to hit the tubes and use the EQ.
I can see the digital meter moving on my Avalon, but there are 2 issues.
I’m hearing NO audio. Also, the VU meter for the compressor section is NOT moving, showing no signal for compression. I have also adjusted all the knobs and buttons for engaging the compressor/EQ, but this has no effect on my adjustments.
The drum bus is assigned to the Stereo Out.
I’m missing something here but I’m not seeing it.
Thanks.
Mark
Hi,
You also have to send the (processed) signal back to Cubase. Then you have to add an Audio Track and enable Monitor or record this processed signal.
Martin,
How do send the processed signal back to Nuendo? I’m drawing a blank. Sorry.
Thanks
Mark
Hi,
You need to route the signal from the compressor to your MOTU input and set this input in the External FX.
This is how I setup the “External FX” in Nuendo,
I have the Send Bus 1 to Analog 23/24 of the MOTU.
I have the Return Bus 1 set to Analog 23/24 of the MOTU.
I believe this is correct?
Hi,
Does the physical connection mirror this setting?
Yes, I doubled, triple checked the wiring.
I have the Avalon “outs” going in to the “ins” of the MOTU.
I have the MOTU “outs” going in to the “ins” of the Avalon.
I can see the digital meter on the Avalon piece moving when unmuted. But I don’t hear anything. Also, none of the adjustments on the Avalon piece do anything.
I have the Avalon on an insert channel of my drum buss. This drum buss is being sent to the Stereo Outs. This maybe the problem, maybe???
Do I need to return/buss this somewhere else?
