Send multiple panned mono tracks to a Group channel

Cubase
1

Hi guys I would really appreciate some help after trying Google and YouTube with no relevant results.
I’m using Cubase 11.
As the title suggests, want to understand the following:
I want to have a group channel from which I can control the Volume, EQ, Compression of multiple panned mono audio channels.
For example, I want to have a group channel of , 2 mono audio tracks, which are panned L R.
I tried either sending or routing each track to the group track.
Then, I now have audio coming out from 3 channels - each panned audio track, and the stereo group track.
I want the audio to come out panned ONLY from the group track, after being proccessed initially by the EQ/inserts of seach track, and then by the inserts of the group track.
This means - No audio coming out from the mono tracks. Right now when I mute them - the group track is also muted.
What’s the best practice to acheive the desired outcome?

Using Send will produce exactly the results you are describing - that’s the wrong way to do it. But Routing should work since when you route the Track to the Group Track that will cause you to disconnect its previous routing.

Just for the sake of clarity: As Raino says don’t use sends, just use the ‘regular’ output routing of those tracks and choose the group as a target. So instead of “Out 1-2” or “Main Mix” or whatever it’s called right now just choose the group.
