1. make sure nothing in your mix is going to the DAW channel in the N12 (this is output N12 L/R).
2. insert a new stereo track in cubase and set it's input as N12 stereo (N12-ST) and set its output to the DAW channel (N12-L/R).
3. Switch off the switch by the DAW volume pot which sends the signal to the stereo buss.
4. insert a compressor/limiter/eq or whatever on the stereo channel you created and then switch on the live monitor button.
5. on the N12 control room monitor section, switch to the DAW monitor switch - now you can hear the mix with the vst effects you inserted on the stero track you made. switch back to the stereo monitor input to hear it without.
This works well, but what I really want to do is utilize the converters. The above method gives the ability to use the N12 EQ and Comp, but bypasses the converter. Using the N12 just for it's EQ isn't any different than using another VST EQ or Comp. (except they do work well!)

I'm trying to send my midi/VST tracks to the N12 ST out, and into the 11/12. I have a cable from the rear ST outs directly into the 11/12 ins. DAW to ST is on. A.In is selected on the N12 11/12 strip. The 11/12 channel is lit. I want to pass the signal via the 11/12 N12 converter, and bring that back in to the REC Buss.

So I have created another audio channel with REC Buss as the input. Enable Monitoring shows me that the signal comes thru. Now how do I just monitor that REC Buss... since that is the signal post converter, that is the signal I want to monitor.

Normally I have been working with the unaffected signal, but at this point, I need to monitor the affected signal. (The signal coming from the REC Buss that has passed thru the converters) If I send audio channel "REC Buss" to the ST Buss, obviously that will loop, since the ST Buss is already receiving the signal to pass to 11/12.

...aux phones is a possibility, but I don't want to really have to work this way.
