I just want to know if it's possible ...
Because of, in your I/O Setup, you can't reach the both interface for insert, is there a tip elsewhere ?
I talk about analog insert ...

I am surprised not to have had any answers ...
Not a good attitude, even if to say " I don't know ... ".

I use Apogee AD-16X and DA-16X’s with Nuendo...I know this might not work in ProTools...I create and output buss in Nuendo. For example, I send a VOX to a Summit DCL200 and then return the signal of the summit output back into my AD-16X. I then monitor using the zero latency function of my soundcard. Once I am happy with the way the track sounds through the comp, I lay it back down in Nuendo. I know this isn't the most effective way to insert but unfortunately because of inherent latency with converters, there is no perfect way to insert.

Isn't there automatic delay compensation in nuendo?

i dont know if this will help but create an aux input and add a plugin on the insert at the top but instead of a plugin select the i/o of the hardwhere you want to use as the insert.

Yes there is. Even with Cubase SX. Nuendo/Cubase measures the delay with a ping and auto compensates (can be switched off for tracking, etc.)


analog insert is no problem with ProTools or Nuendo, Cubase etc.

you just select the In/Outs from the Insert list. In Cubase Nuendo you have to define your inserts first in the VST connections and then they show up in the list.

Similar with PT.

I think you have to be using N3 or later to take advantage of external fx's and external inserts. I cannot get N2 to do this.

You might get a better response by posting it in the computer music section since 16x converters and protools are all computer based. As is the question.

Just a thought.

You are right. N3 or Cubase SX3 only.

On the insert strip in protools you can send the track out on say out 5 and in on 5. On the insert strip theres an option that says I/O to send out and return on that "insert point" you just physically patch those into that output and input on you AD and DA. If you have PT 6.4 and above the daley comp is also taken care for you. Hope that helped.
