Hi Everyone. New member. Great site!
I want to be able to record vocals using compression and reverb plug-ins without recording the actual reverb effect. Can anyone explain how to do this in Cubase SX?
Thanks in advance...
Deoye.

It's pretty simple: the only way you'll destructively print the effects to the track is by inserting FX on the Input Channel in the VST Mixer. So, you can either insert effects onto the track you're monitoring, or you could set up a couple of FX Channels and just use the sends to add Reverb to the signal.
What I usually do when I'm tracking many guitar takes and I want to hear what it sounds like with compression and effects, is set up one channel with Input Monitoring on (guitar line-in as input), bus that channel to a Group Channel that has, say, a compressor and a chorus inserted and is sending to an FX Channel with delay, then I activate record (not monitor) on another track, record and repeat as required.
(Obviously you can't have a bunch of guitars going to the same FX, so this is mostly to get the good takes, then you can create more groups or insert the fx on the tracks after tracking.)
Hope that helps.
