Amp Sound When Playback but not During Recording [Resolved]

[19axeman66]

Hello,
When I record a guitar track with the AmpliTube 4 vst plugin,all I hear is a clean guitar just as if I was plugged straight into my computer. When I listen to the playback of the recording, that is when I hear the amp and effects that I chose.Is it not possible to hear the selected amp and effects while recording a track?

Hello 19axemann66 and welcome to the forum.

Is it not possible to hear the selected amp and effects while recording a track?

Yes, it's perfectly possible to do this. You need to make sure that 1) you are not monitoring your direct input via your interface 2) you are monitoring your recording channel in your DAW post effects.

What audio interface and DAW are you using? Someone will be able to give you more specific instructions if we know that.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply.I am using the Roland Quad Capture for my audio interface and the Sonar Artist for my DAW.If someone could give me a step by step set up in order to hear my selected amp and effects while recording would be greatly appreciated.I am new to the recording at home thing so am learning as I go and it is a slow go,lol.

Ok, so I haven't used either of these products but going from the user manuals, to hear AT4 with a live input it looks like you need to:

1) On the Roland, make sure that the Mix control is set fully anti-clockwise to Playback. This means you are monitoring through software only.
2) In Sonar, make sure that your audio track's Input is set to Input 1 (I'm guessing this is the channel on the Roland where you have plugged in your guitar).
3) Insert AT4 on the track as an effect and click on the Input Echo button (next to the Record Arm button).

You should (hopefully) now be hearing your guitar post-effects.

Let us know if this works out for you.

You rock man! Thank you so much for taking the time to figure that out for me as it would of took me forever as most of this recording stuff goes right over my head. Frickin baby steps for sure. Again,I can't thank you enough and truth be told,as far as my set up goes,the AT4 sounds way better in the DAW rather than stand alone so I am really happy about that as well.

Great stuff, glad to hear it's all working for you now.
