If only groups can be used as audio inputs (but FX channels can't ...)

… Is there any circumstance where it’s advantageous to use an FX channel instead of a group?

Thanks!

When you like purple faders?

Not what you asked i know, but depending on the Cubase Version it´s always advantageous to use a group instead of an FX channel.

Thanks for your reply, svennilenni. Why do you say that?

Because in the smaller Cubase versions, FX channels have less options (routing / sends) than group channels

Thx svennilenni.
