![]() I have tried this and it "works", but it´s not only "inelegant" but really clumsy. Having external mono processing in front of the sends is what is desired. Sort of defeats the purpose of having External inserts in the FX bin. Maybe would work but is a very inelegant workaround. I haven't tried it in practice, but it might help, or something similar might work using a Bus. They should be returned to Aux 1 Left and Aux 1 Right, which can be routed anywhere you want. ![]() Then use hard panned Sends from your tracks to Aux 1, depending on which processor you want to use. Try creating 2 Aux tracks, putting the plug-in on Aux 1 and setting the inputs of the Aux tracks to Aux 1 left and Aux 1 right. You can make multiple Aux tracks with the inputs set to mono left and right. If the devs don't think this is worthy of their attention, or even if they do, it will take them time to implement it, I think I may have a workaround for people like us who don't like it: use Aux tracks. Assuming that all external processors are stereo in/stereo out is incorrect and should be remedied, especially now, when so many people are using interfaces that only have 2 channels to play with in the first place. Now before I say this, I will mention that I dislike it when people offer clumsy workarounds when a feature request is in order (with the implication that your feature request is unnecessary), and I fully agree with your feature request. That does seem like a big waste of I/O, especially in situations like mine, where I only have two in the first place. You're saying that if I assign the first output to the plug-in, I can't do anything else with the other one? That it's grabbed by the plug-in and may only be used on that channel. The Firepod only actually has two channels that may be used in this way, if I recall, so they are "expensive." The Hot Springs is mono in, mono out, so I only need one output and one return from my 8-channel Firepod. Let's assume I want to use it with my Anderton PAiA Hot Springs Reverb, which would actually be my most likely scenario, as the Hot Springs is a favorite external processor. Let me see if I understand it correctly, because I haven't tried patching in any external processors. I know I´m not the only one asking, as there are other posts about the subject. Please Bandlab folks, keep up the great work you have been doing, and take action to fix this long forgotten feature. It just can´t be taken seriously for hybrid mixing if my ten I/O interface is rendered half useless and can´t use all my hardware only because the daw´s archaic implementation of this feature. Love Cakewalk, have been using it for more than twenty years, but this feature alone has had me thinking about moving to Reaper. Check these videos, one of them from 5 years ago!: StudioOne´s implementation is closer to what CBB´s should be, in my opinion, and for shure it can be done better. ![]() Not to mention the matter of not being able to solo buses with external insert, that also keeps getting mentioned now and again without response.Ĭontemporary developers should take a look at how Reaper or StudioOne have implemented this. I have seen posts in the old forum about this that were never taken into account, never addressed by the developers with even a mild response. It is sad too because Cakewalk was (as with so many things) one of the first daws to develop this feature, but it has been left behind. This is in fact reducing the interface I/O capabilities to half!Īnd the sad thing, it has been like these for ever, it has never been updated since the feature was introduced at least since Sonar 7 (before the Sonar X days). ![]() Again, it doesn´t show up, as the External Insert just "ate up" the whole stereo pair. Even more: now create a third track, and try to set it´s output to "Right USB Audio Analogue 3". Now, if you try to set the SEND to the second mono output "Right USB Audio Analogue 3", it just doesn´t show up, it just doesn´t exist. Create a second audio track, instantiate a second External Insert Plugin. Set RETURN to a mono input, lets say "Left USB Audio Analogue 3". Set SEND of External Plugin to a mono output, lets say "Left USB Audio Analogue 3". Create an audio track, instantiate an External Insert plugin. Even if you set interleave to mono, External Insert will remain in stereo. As of now, and since it was released, it is forcing stereo outputs, and if you choose a mono output, it hijacks the second mono output of whatever pair you selected first. I think the External Insert plugin is due for a much needed update to fix its behavior. ![]()
