Posted by: mba64 May 12 2009, 02:06 AM

I got Cubase 4 LE when I bought a soundcard Please is there any way to record a wet signal to Cubase 4 LE with Guitar Rig or any ampsims, in cubase 3Sx I only have to load one instance of a plug in mixer 2 and dont have to freeze the track,is it possible in 4 Le.
Hope you can help Thanks.

You can create FX track and insert GR3 there. Then you send your guitar audio track to that FX track

I believe you can. I read somewhere that in LE the only limitations you have is the number of tracks, 192khz support and you can't drag and drop midi loops into the track. Everything else should work.

Thanks Ivan and Emir I will try it out tonight to make a FX and put GR there,I think Cubase LE is enough for me to work on and I got a Free copy off it when I bought a Preamp.

Definitely enough, Cubase is an excellent DAW, and LE has some restrictions, but for home studio production it is quite enough. Let us know if you need the help in more detail mate. Cheers

Yes it worked but I can still here some clean sound comming through when I am playing,is there anyway to get only wet processed sound to the FXChannel I have raise the fxsend output to 100% on the Recording channel but still I both see and here that there is clean sound in the Fxchannel and still a small output in the recording channel.

Sure, just click on a small prefader button, and lower down the volume of the audio track. Your button configuration may vary a bit, I'm using Nuendo 3, but it should be very similar.

Thanks Ivan it works, but when I record now I cant pan left or right I get a sound in both speakers no matter how I set my input both soundcard and GR.I make 2 tracks and pan them 40R 40L but no change in the output.

I don't seem to understand. Did you make stereo FX track and tried to pan that? GR3 is a stereo effect plugin and should be inserted to stereo track.

I made a stereo FX channel and made two tracks tryed both stereo and mono tracks for the tracks that I will record into.Tryed to make the 40/40 pan in the recording tracks.

Here is a track that I made with SX3, guitars pannen both 100/100 and 50/50 4 tracks.
I make several tracks and rout them to buses and then I just pan the track say 2 of them 40/40 and it goes to a grouptrack where I put in all eq and stuff.

I'm really not sure what the problem is, could you explain a bit more what exactly are you doing?

BTW, if you make stereo FX track and you send the guitar track TO that FX track, and if you lower down the volume completely on the guitar track, what is the point of panning the guitar track? If you want to pan, you need to pan the FX track, cause this is the track that is playing the guitar track.

Yes I have sold it now,just got confused when working with the GT in a Fxchannel,try to pan the recording track when It was silent,(smart ehhh)now I can make a pan with FXchannel,I have to change in my soundcard also that was the problem.
thanks for the tip great,not easy when you change daw esp when you not so good with the Old sx3.

Glad you solved the issue man!

If you need more assistance, feel free to ask, I will be glad to help.

cheers

Thanks again Ivan, now I understand more how to mix and add FXchannels and to do all the mixing there.
I just make a Fxchannel and routed all the guitar tracks there and can easy make any eq on all tracks.
Thanks again.

No problem mate, anytime

That's what FX tracks are for, to add effects to tracks. GR3 is usually on FX track cause your guitar track is usually mono, and GR3 FX track is in stereo. Also, this saves precious CPU resources. For example, one reverb can be put on FX track and be used for several tracks instead of inserting several reverbs on separate tracks.
