+1 for Ctrl+click routing.
I like Cubase’s routing system. It’s powerful and flexible, but it can be cumbersome, and, even with templates, it can be a time-consuming process to set-up a session or create an instrument track-based project with groups and effects channels. Anyway, If I read and understood all this all, it seems this “hack” provided improved workflow, easy of use.
+1 for improvements to routing such as this.
