Routings issues with Groups and FX tracks

Cubase
1

Hey Cubase community,
I can’t figure this out and would really appreciate some hints.

Open empty project
Add group channel
Add FX channel
I can route the FX channel to the group channel.

Open empty project
Add FX channel
Add group channel (just in the inverted order as above)
I can’t route the FX channel to the group. The group channel doesn’t show up as a possible output.

My goal is ::
Audio1 out to Group1
Audio1 send to FX1
FX1 to Group1
Audio2 Input set to Group1.
Record Audio1 +FX1 on Audio2 via Group1

I’ve done this for years and years with cubase 9.5 …
just upgraded, and I can’t get it to work.

Also in case 1, even I manage to route the FX track to the group.
If then I create an audio track, I can’t get either option (FX track or Group track) as an input.

I know there are restrictions to avoid feedback loops, but nothing seems to work in my case…
This seems so basic, and after searching for quite a bit I didn’t get to find proper answer to this.
Thanks for any info that could help me solve this.
Cheers

Make sure the group channel does not have a send to the FX channel. That would prevent you from routing it to the group channel.

Checked at a friend’s studio and he wouldn’t have the same problem.
I made a full preferences reset + unchecked the “automatically connect sends when you create a new audio track”… that last one may have tricked me.
Thx

I’ve been experiencing the same issues recently. This information was very helpful.

It is not a bug
It is an option in the preferences plus a lack of knowledge how Cubendo works.
Nothing that can’t be changed by a person in a couple of minutes.

what preference though ?

Are you talking about - Preferences / VST / “Connect Sends Automatically for Each Newly Created Channel” ?

This preference is disabled by default as far as i’m aware.

Can you clarify whether or not if you have the following preference enabled or disabled?
Edit / Preferences / VST / “Connect Sends Automatically for Each Newly Created Channel"

That user already has the solution from JM in another thread. Yes he did have it enabled…apparently by default.

In a simple project in Cubase deleting the send does fix this.

Either Nuendo is different or it’s something happening in your more complex project.

Are you sure you’re not causing a potential loop some other way as (at least here in the Cubase forum) this fix seems to work for everyone it’s been advised to.

It is a matter of the definition of a bug. Maybe you deem a bug to be anything that does not work as you expect it. There are quite a few people on this forum who go with this definition. The entire software industry uses a different one for many decades, though: Something does not work the way the developer intends it to work.
By that definition it is not a bug.

This is something I cannot reproduce on my system. I can easily get all routing options back after erasing the feedback connection.
Maybe it requires more preconditions in order to replicate what you describe.
