Oh, didnt realise it had switched to routing. Not sure how that has happened because I never use that.
Re the compressor.
I can hear the changes that I am making but the needle does not move at all.
Doesnt matter how aggressive I make the settings there is no active display.
The exact same project in cubase 10.0.30 the needle is hitting about 6db of gain reduction
The same for the tape saturation. No life in the display at all in 10.5.20 but works fine in 10.0.30
