Trying to Recreate a Sound on Cubase...

I have been using Reason for mostly everything. But now that I got Cubase, I want to expand my knowledge. What I'm trying to do is get a stereo delay sound on a piano. What I would normally do in Reason is route the left and right channel of the piano into separate delays. Then I would set the delay times on each piano so it would give that trance piano sound. How can I do this in Cubase?

You should mention what version of Cubase.
...in SX3, the built-in Double Delay will do that
...in Cu4, the Stereo Delay is approximately the same thing

you can do a similar function in cubase as in reason. sorry this will be a bit useless for what you want but at least you learn something extremely useful.
double delay will work on insert mode as an easy option with limited control but generally effective and is all you need.
another option is the old send/return routing method (look at the help file) or read the manual if you have 1 ?!?. you can add two FX tracks to the track list on the main screen. Right click in the track list and choose 'Add FX track'. assign it to a delay effect of your choice. Repeat process...
now select the audio track you wish to effect in the tracklist and open its settings window either by clicking on the 'e' symbol at the top of the 'inspector' (left of the screen, next to the track name just below the tool bar) or press F3 to bring up the mixer and click on the 'e' on the track/s you wish to send to the effects channels you just created.
the window that appears has 2 columns of empty black boxes and a 4 band EQ in the centre as well as a fader to mix the overall track volume. look at the 2 columns of black boxes - the left column is numbered i1, i2, i3 etc. (this stands for INSERT.. add insert FX here) the right hand column is numbered s1, s2, s3 etc (this stands for SEND.. add send FX here). Now you can click in the box s1 and it will bring up a list saying...no bus, FX1-delay, FX2-delay, Outputs. Choose FX1-delay (or whatever effect you have chosen) in s1 and repeat the process in s2 choosing a different effect (eg. FX2-delay). you should have now sent your audio track to 2 separate effects which work in parallel and can be altered independently... of course send effects should always be set to 100% mix then control the amount of sent effect by using the little (almost un-noticable) slider bar below s1 and s2 and so on. also the master send effects will appear in the track list and the mixer coloured pink so you can control the overall level. This gives you more control and could be useful as you can send multiple channels to the same effect (saving CPU). Ok so hope that was of use...
