Have upgraded to Cubase Elements 14 after much carry on. So help me, I will launch it out the window soon. Never have I worked with such a counter-intuitive *************
Where might I find the delay inserts or any other inserts. I used to have them in the Inspector in Cubase 13 and could just hover over ‘insert’ and they would magically appear.
Edit At moment have this but can’t find inserts
It will help to select the audio track instead of the folder.
It should be exactly the same on C14.
Have a look at Studio/Plugin Manager. Do you see any plugins? Maybe do a rescan? A screenshot might help to solve the issue…
EDIT: In the meantime you uploaded the screenshot…
@farfaraway already answered. Guess you don’t have to throw stuff out of your window anymore 
The manual is also a good source of information.
“It will help to select the audio track instead of the folder.” This is a major part of the problem, the terminology.
“select the audio track instead of the folder.” How do I select the audio track instead of the folder, I was not aware I had?
Honestly, there has to be an easier way. I don’t even know how I did this but there we go. 10/10 Cubase for sound etc but 0/10 for user-friendly
Thought I had it. I’m going to implode.
Wait, don´t do that…
First time you must have clicked on the folder (no inserts available) and now you have clicked on the track in the project window.
My writing in the pic looks like the work of a 10yrs old… not so easy with a mouse.
Oh, in case you don´t see inserts in your Inspector: Right click anywhere in a free area in the inspector and add inputs to your layout… if this is for whatever reasons disabled, well…
Thank you. I love Cubase I despise Cubase terminology. Written by a geek who does not understand the simplicity of a mere musician.
To OP @insommeniac : it’s pretty much impossible to figure out Cubase without studying some external info, you should know that know as you start using it.
There is tons of info out there, for a start you could look for something called “Getting Started in Cubase” on youtube, Steinberg or Cubase may even have that on its channel.
The operations manual isn’t great for some things, but for getting started it’s probably good enough to help you.
If you want to learn a sequencer without doing some of this kind of work, Cubase may not be your best choice.
No worries It IS challening at times, I´m with you…
As I wrote - you can also set up your personal Inspector layout including Inserts by clicking here. This way you might not need the zone in the far left.
or… just hit F3 and open the mixer…

This may or may not help, but over the years I have worked with many complex software systems (most were not DAWs). It always helps to ease my frustration if I adhere to the following principles:
Gotcha sedicks. Maybe communicating honey would stop the vinegar.
Guys, hold your horses… 
If you get stuck you might not always put your words in the best possible way. Happened to me, too, and I guess I am not the only one.
Apart from that - it’s (f***ing) XMas time 
OP @insommeniac
Also, look for courses on macprovideo or Groove 3

Get stuffed. This is directed at the ‘knitting’ person.
If I find things hard that’s what a Forum’s for ok. I can find videos thanks. If you don’t want to be bothered with my questions that’s fine, go play with your pads and loops, if you want to try help me, I’m most grateful.
Thanks Reco29 that’s a great method of explanation and all I’m looking for. Mike
