As I suspected, if you create your external FX devices with the I/O relative
to the same order it shows up in in the respective I/O bussing windows, then
as you disable these inputs and outputs after using them for tracking they
will become available by default in the proper order in the FX routing
window and will "recall" in the proper order......at least so far. It really
makes sense.......sorta', kinda'.....in a half assed sloppythinking kinda'
way. No wonder I was able to figure it out.

This *feature* reminds me of the little icon in the VST instruments applet
to the right of the name of the VST instrument that will allow you to show
one or more channels of a multitimbral instrument in the mixer
window....which isn't mentioned anywhere in the manual. I found reference to
it in an article in SOS.

It's like a perverse sort of treasure hunt.

Neil's suggestion to do a hardware "reset" did fix the issue I was having
with levels not recalling upon opening a project. How ****'in wierd is that?

Hmmm.....................this seems to have done the trick. There is also
something else to add...............I think...........and this is wierd, but
the system is seeming to be a bit more zippy and responsive. It's one of
those things you notice when you haven't noticed that there is a problem and
then it gets solved and the system behaves differently. The first indicator
was that the project opened faster after I had removed all of the old I/'O
settings and instantiated the new ones, then relaunched the project. I
checked the VST meter and it looks to be ( maybe 5 - 10%) lower on resource
usage than it was before. Maybe this is just my imagination, but the system
seems happier when the I/O is utilized in it's "natural" order, they way the
drivers order the hardware I/O. I know, I know....... this is really too
strange to believe.

I certainly agree, the manual leaves something to be desired. Glad you
found the Why.

I'm pretty sure you are the only person using the external effects this
extensively. :)
Most people don't know it exists even sense it isn't covered very well
in the manual.
Cubase does have lots little hidden features that can in some setups be
buggy. I think mainly because it is very hard to have some features
throughly tested sense so few users every come across or need the feature.

I really think you should push to get on Steinberg's beta testing list.
I think you will be a great person to have sort this esoteric stuff out.

I don't think there is anyone who can write a manual that can cover all
the stuff in Cubase well. Let along how to properly use some of the stuff.

Last night, about an hour before the end of my mix session, the entire
righthand stereo field of my DAW just went away. I toggled a few external FX
on and off and after about a minute and a half, it came back. there were
also periods yesterday when the relative levels started to get wanky for no
reason. Exiting the program and rebooting the computer fixed it. I'm not
sure how valid a beta tester I would be. I'm running a CPU that isn't
approved for the mobo and 7 x PCI cards in two Magma chassis' with 52 analog
I/O. I am going to do some more experimentation with the master/slave
configuration and instead of systemlink, just slave my "slave" DAW running
an HDSP 9652 to one of the 9652's in the master DAW. Systemlink is just a
PITA because it has to be reset every time. Slaving to ADAT sync from the
master DAW should be much less of a hassle (famous last words)

And yet you're blaming Cubase4 for your problems? LOL!

There is no real reason that it shouldn't work. The CPU hums along just fine
at 2600MHz per core instead of 2400MHz per core that I would get with the
AMD 64 4800 x 2 CPU. I need that extra 400MHz. I have no Windows based
hardware conflicts at all. It's just that I don't know of anyone else
running something similar. I am right at the edge of "legality", but I am
still technically legal.

I would venture to guess that your system is probably a bit more *technical*
than mine is from what I gather from your posts. Aren't you interfacing (at
least) three systems? I might have been pushing it when I was interfacing a
moderately large Paris rig with a big Creamware based Cubase rig, but I'm
just small potatoes now.

Normal???.........I thought that was just a routing option in a patchbay.
Mere earthlings would never understand. I haven't been normal since around
'65 (if ever).

These were taken during the height of the Paris/Cubase double DAW frenzy
when I was using 4 x Magmas with two DAWs. It was a wonderful sounding, but
frustrating rig. Wayyyyy more variables than I've got now. I was interfacing
over 100 digital I/O.

How did you keep that alive with those dogs of yours wandering through?
