I created a new track, Aux/Mono...and then in the mix window went to the Input, Mic/Line 1-4 Analogue 5-6...and wanted to buss an inserted mono D-verb...but the Buss and Plug in buttons/tabs/whatever are grayed out...why?

Thank you very much,

Try resetting the default I/O (under the set-up tab).

Thank you Phil,

I did try this earlier but with no luck...got the descending L R "Stairs" in the grid on the right...going all the way down...i.e. 1-2 2-3 etc to 31-32...all stereo on the Bus selection...another curious thing is if I check the little triangle that expands on 1-2 through 15-16, they don't expand...and when I click the little triangle on the 17-18 etc to 31-32, the triangle will expand and open to e.g. bus 31-32 and expand to mono 31 and mono 32 with an M in the grid...

This I/O setup doesn't allow me to bus in the mix window to anything but 17-32...hmmmm.

If you reset the I/O to "default" as Phil mentioned, it should go back to normal. You may have to delete the bad paths first in order to avoid duplicates, but the default button should bring everything back to the factory settings.

You can also try deleting prefs and the other basic steps covered in the "General Troubleshooting" thread.

Phil and Slim...

First off, thank you both for your help...

because I did trash my prefs earlier...no help so I did hit the default button for input, output, insert and bus separately...and had no success, so then I simply went into each on, e and deleted all the paths...then I went back and hit the default button for each one, input, output, insert and bus...that did it...

Thank you again...great place...I look forward to contributing and learning from all of you!

Happy composing, tracking, editing, mixing and mastering...

Best,
