enhancing a lead sound using scope and cubase

Hi All,

now my PC is suprisingly performing well I have put together a great track in cubase and still got enough cpu to use the scope!

so I want to run the lead line through some of the effects

whats the most effective way of keeping all the track together but taking the lead line out and running it from a buss or send or whatever to use the scope effects

i.e. shall I use the big mixer ? do I have to set the lead to a buss in cubase to do this and seperate the audio from the rest of the track?

as you can probably tell I dont normally use the scope I do everything within cubase

also while i'm here the dynamixer wont let me have more than 4 channels, everytime i try to change the amount of channels i get an error saying 'could not reference new channel on left side nil reference'

thanks

Well seeing as Scope uses no CPU (except a little for the interface) that would be the case - that's sort of the point of a DSP card, innit?

The way you talk about Big Mixer i'm assuming you have a very old version of Pulsar running. Dynmixer is a 4 channel mixer - so you only get 4 channels, not sure wht you're talking about here, unless you just mean making a channel stereo. Big Mixer is old if that's what you're really using. What i would do is first update your Pulsar to the latest Scope 4.0 version (depending on your software version this should be free), then we'll all be able to talk without having to play memory games.

Anyway regardless of that what you need to do is setup a Scope project with ASIO Sources. You can double click on the ASIO Source module to increasw the number of sources - 32 for instance gives you 16 stereo channels. Now use Cubase's buss output found in the audio mixer (use say Buss 3+4) and use the corresponding output in Scope and feed that to whatever effects you want - back into a mixer. i usually have the mixer output plugged directly into Pulsar Analogue Dest which feeds my speakers. By bussing all ASIO to Scope you can monitor this way and use all the nice Scope goodies.
