Please help - I'm going bonkers.

I am using Cubase 7 and have it working pretty well in a studio.

Tonight - I have been trying to use a Mic preamp plugged into an aux input to record vocals.

I get level on the Aux channel on the x32 (ie... its getting input) - no worries.
I can select any other channel, and set it to use the aux as input.. no worries..

I then tried to use the routing menu, and assign Aux 1-6/Mon to channels 25->32.... Setup a VST input in Cubase, and assign it to (say) channel 26 which would equate to Aux 2 correct? - I get nothing.

So I route the aux to a channel on the x32.. and then in cubase I assign the vst input to that channel... Nothing

If I route the channel input back to the channel mic pre and plug a mic in to it... no worries....

What the hell could I be doing wrong?.. It seems like such a simple thing...

If any of you have Cubase and can route an Aux to the firewire card and then to cubase, and record it - can you please give me a procedure that a total numbat (which I obviously am!) could follow?

Thanks
Pauly
