Well, I've spent time reading & digesting all of the links you've provided above (and some of the links contained in those links ... kind of like bus sends going into other bus inputs ;-) ... what patience you have for the multiple bus routing issue! This has been going on as a confusing obstacle for newbies about a decade now, and you gently nudge folks along to better understand it each time it rears its head. Kudos for your easy going way with us all.

Okay, I've come to understand that my issues with the buses routed into other buses is inherent in the JACK-based design. And that Carl's "internal inserts" solution works around it - although I'm still not sure I entirely understand what's wrong with that solution? (Except the somewhat mysterious comment you shared that this sometimes may work and at other times simply not work - as I didn't think computers intermittently decide to handle data & code differently [i.e. perhaps until we employ AI to manage our virtual studio hookups]).

I'll come back to my original Calf plugin challenge after I more fully digest the system-wide issue of cascading buses a bit more.

Thanks again for your persistence in helping newbies like me better understand what you've known for a very long time.
