![]() ![]() Then at this point I try the hardware bypass switch and, the bass is perfectly clean and fine.Īnybody know what is going on? I don’t want this distortion in the one case, and I don’t want this hiss in the other case. This seems to relieve any unwanted distortion but introduces a heck of a lot of hiss (I’m assuming because the hardware output is so high now). I can see on the VU meters that both channels are peaking at about -10db to -5db on the input, so I turn the send gain on the insert effect on Cubase and this lowers the distortion level, but the signal becomes much to quiet, so I have to turn up the output gain on the hardware unit. When the compressor is in bypass (the hardware bypass switch), the synth bass audio signal is perfectly clean and unaltered, but when I unbypass the hardware, it becomes quite heavily distorted. Then when I put the newly created External FX insert on a stereo audio channel (let’s say a synth bass), I adjust the send gain so as not to send too much signal to the outboard compressor, and I leave the return gain at unity (0db). Then, in my Saffire MixControl, I assign DAW 5 to output 5 and DAW 6 to output 6 (I think this is how it’s supposed to be). This deactivates channels 5 and 6 on the inputs and outputs, which is fine because it’s now assigned to my External FX. I set up Cubase’s VST connections (all 8 inputs, all 10 outputs appropriately) then I set up an External FX (one FX in stereo, and I assign inputs 5 and 6 as well as outputs 5 and 6 to left and right, respectively). ![]() ![]() Here’s what I’ve tried, let me know what I’m doing wrong here: However, trying to set up an external fx is giving me lots of troubles. Prior to trying to use external fx, I’ve had no issues setting up Ins and Outs in both Cubase and the Saffire MixControl. I also have a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 which uses the Saffire MixControl software. Hey, so I’ve recently bought an outboard 2-channel compressor (stereo and 2-mono capability) and want to be able to use it as an insert plugin in Cubase (I have Cubase 7.0.6). ![]()
