HELP! Cubase LE Effects

[dieselmx]

Hi Guys,

I'm using Cubase LE and looks like i'm only allowed 2 effects per channel. If I click on the "e" and open the effects, there are 4 more effects listed on the right side of the window but i cant seem to get them to assign any effects to the audio .. The drop down doesnt list any effects to add ..

Does anyone how to to use these or can i really only add 2 effects only?

To give you a better understanding of what im looking at.. This isnt my cubase but its a pic i found, the window is all the way at the bottom right the 4 effects thats in the yellow outline...



Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

The "effects" with 2 slots is called "inserts". These apply ONLY to the the track in question and are good places for EQ, compression, or distortion.

The "effects" with 4 slots are called "fx sends" or "aux sends". These work differently. You need to create an "FX track". In that track you need to add an insert with reverb, delay, or chorus. Then go back to your original track, select your reverb, and the amount of signal you want to send to your reverb aux send. Let's just say that was a snare drum track. Then you can go to your vocal and send it to the aux send as well to add reverb. You can send all tracks, no tracks, or somewhere in between to that one single reverb.

Ok i see... thanks.

So i create a new audio track and add the effect on it? I dont see an option when i click file to "add Fx Track" is this somewhere different?

Again, this is all in the manual. But off the top of my head, when you right click to add a new audio or midi track, you should also see "fx track". It may be called "effects track" or "aux send" or something like that. I can't remember the names.
