Send into a send???

[BRIEFCASEMANX]

Is this possible with Cubase? I would think so given that I've done it on a analog desk. I have no idea how though. the "send" part of the fx channels can only send stuff to the outputs of my soundcard----is that for using analog effects???
I hope you guys don't think i'm a little shitter for asking this. I mean, I really am a little shitter but I like to stay anonymous on the internet!

To elaborate, I mean like sending a delay send into reverb. I had a problem in my last session where I used an FX send to "double" a mono piano track and make it into a fake stereo track....the original track panned left and the FX channel panned right with delay and slight pitch modulation. I wanted to send both of these channels back into another reverb send but I didn't know how.

I know I could add a reverb to the insert channel of the unaffected track, but then that reverb would be getting the pitch modulation that was on the delayed FX track and I didn't want that, I wanted them to both go to the same reverb.

Any ideas/suggestions? Yes, I did try to read the manual(I hate manuals!).

I would group the two channels and send them to the fx channel.

I created a group channel and the FX channel will not let me make it's ouput the group channel.

Try just setting up individual sends on both of your tracks to another fx track with the reverb on it. Personally, I have not done anything with group tracks, but I didn't RTFM either...

one of my two tracks is already a send, thus won't allow me to send it to another fx track.

Basically, when you create an FX channel Cubase sets up a group channel with the send section. I would create a group channel instead, and load your delay there. Use the exact same FX settings on your delay, and just reroute all channels from the old FX send to the new group channel. In effect you now will have a delay send where the return can be fed through another send.

the delay is only on the right side though. I pan the original track left, then send it to an FX track with the delay and hard pan that right. Maybe the proper way to do it would be to copy the track, add the delay to the copied version and panned each version hard, then send to a FX or Group track? The problem is sometimes i have multiple tracks going into the delay creating the "fake stereo" sound, and using the delay in an FX channel can save processing if I have more than 1 instrument going into it. Or maybe I'm understanding something?
