Bus sends?

See my post from earlier... (#7)....

Several people since have given you the exact same recomendation....

That might be a good place to start

You need to set up a group channel. Set the output of the guitar channels to route to the group channel. Done.

Don't use the AUX, don't use FX channels.

So your saying that using a group channel send the original channels to the group and you dont hear any fo the original channels tracks apart from through the group channel?
Im sure in Cubase SX3 it doesnt work like that. Seems that the group and FX channels are the same, just a different colour and a way of seperating your busses to avoid confusion.

Well, no, that's not quote what I meant, since I had no idea that's what you were looking to do .

But yeah, you could create a stem file, a sub mix of your guitars and run the effects on that while keeping the source tracks muted.

I have also used this system but sometimes I would bring the source tracks up underneath the mix/effects guitars just a tad. It fattens them up a bit without affecting the mix/effects guitars.

Don't use the sends!!!!

Open a channel by hitting the 'e' button. Above the fader, the pan control and the trim control and below the input selection, there is a box that selects the ouput of that channel. Set that to the group you want to send it to.

This is exactly how cubase SX works.

The difference between groups and fx channels is that the fx channels can't be bussed anywhere but the outputs.

Actually, Cubase does work like this. If you route two individual channels to a group/bus using its main routing, then the only sound for those two channels will come from the group/buss. By inserting your effect on that buss and running it 100% wet in the effect itself you will be removing all dry sound from those two channels. You could also use a standard FX send the same way but route the two channels prefade down an aux to that effects channel and keep the faders all the way down for those two channels. The key here is that the effect needs to be 100% wet. You could even reassign the output for the two channels so that there is NO output and then run the aux send prefade to your FX channel, once again leaving the effect 100% wet. This way you could also comp, EQ etc... through the inserts on the original tracks and have those effects track to the FX send. There are many easy and quick ways of doing what you want. I just offered you three
