How do I record ONLY the wet signal using the FX channel?

    Cubase Studio 4 for Windows.

    I've got a dry VST instrument track set up sent to an FX track with a delay
    on insert. (example only)

    Is there a setting that I can use to export only the wet output of the FX
    channel? I want to do bad things to it.

    Currently I am exporting a wet track using the effects as an insert on the
    instrument track, setting them to full wet, and then changing them back to
    full dry and recording the instrument in a separate pass.

    I think I am missing something.

    If I understood what you mean to do:
    On the track of wich you want to record only the wet signal, set your
    effect send to "pre" instead of the default "post" setting.
    This should route the signal before its level is modified by the fader.
    Once you've done that, you just have to pull the channel fader al the
    way down and bounce the master channel. You will only have the wet
    signal of the muted channel.

    Don't know cubase 4 though.

    I believe the following should work.
    In the Connections setting, create a separate output bus. No matter if
    you have only one physical stereo output pair, just add a bus and name
    it something like Tumbolia. Now you can set the output of the FX channel
    to "Tumbolia". In the Export Audio dialog, select "Tumbolia" as the
    output to be exported.

    Hope this helps (and works),

    Jos.

    Or go the easier route and select the fx channel als source in the audio
    export window. ;-)
