Default User "virtual" FX rounting

This may already be possible, I'm not sure, but...

I've got a MOTU 24 i/o... one of the reasons I bought it was because I can just leave everything I have plugged up to it...

BUT,

if I want to use some sort of outboard effect, I'd have to set up routing manually...

INSTEAD, is there a way to have a preset routing show up under the FX menu? In otherwords, if I want a track to go out a specific ASIO output to something and then come back on another ASIO input, is there a way to save that routing so all I have to do is "insert" it as a preset?

I'd prefer this be on FX menu, since I'm thinking in terms of the workflow of "I think I now want this track to go though my SPX-90" or some such; I'm thinking in terms of effecting a track, and it would be easier to have that in the FX menu....

On my setup I've got enough ins/outs on my converter that I can just leave my gear permanently plugged in; so for instance ASIO output 18 is plugged into an old Symetrix compressor and then comes back on ASIO input 18... So I'd like to just choose "Symetrix compressor" from the FX menu and have the routing done automatically to send it to my outboard compressor...

It's really something I suppose would only be useful to people who have converters with a lot of ins/outs...

But it seems like most have at least 8 these days, anyhow, which I would think would allow most to leave something or another permanently plugged in they might want to use as an effect...

/ hoping for a 5.1 buss soon

Hey Chip, just curious, when you're running out and back to your external gear, do you get latency and have to drag the track back in time, or compensate in any way?

I'm just trying to get my head around the automatic latency compensation or 'ping' function and it's usefulness or necessity, I see a few Cubendoids rate it highly.

Maybe something like this...http://www.cockos.com/forum/showpost...19&postcount=6

"I think we also need some sort of send/return plugin than can be inserted on the Master Fader(...anywhere really...) so we can use our fav compressors etc. over the whole mix (pingable, of course). This would also require a "live" render (or at least linking the "save live output to disk" to the transport) to save editing later for us lazy sods."

More detail:

pingable, but with manual +/- per-sample adjustment.

inc. 24bit Dither option.

Option to save i/o assignments as presets.

I don't do it much, because I do have to do it manually... although I've got a spring reverb I use sometimes that I don't worry too much about..<g>

A ping/loopback function would be nice - and then being able to store the offset as part of the aforementioned FX preset...
