Keith L Jenkins Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I am a completely new. I am hoping the answer to my problem is easy since it seems so basic. I am using Windows on an HP with an Presonus Audiobox USB96 Desktop 2x2 USB Audio Interface 25th. I have been watching tutorials and recording very simple guitar. I am able to plug my electric into the input and record my guitar to a track with no problem. Here is the problem: When I select an FX for the track (drag and drop) it attaches to the track but when I select a setting (TH3) it has no effect on the sound of the guitar. No matter what I load it sounds as if there were no FX. I have tried with both audio input and instrument. I think I must be missing something basic?? Thank you, KjenkinsJC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB01 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Have you enabled input echo (monitoring) on the track? That might be it. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Recording.21.html Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Are you are opening up the TH3 interface and selecting different amps , FX . etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I selected TH3 cCakeWalkd band and then loaded the THe Clean. It brought up the Darkface amp and speakers. It had not effect. I then selected the Orange head from the right just to see if it made a difference. Still nothing.? Some others have responded so I will try their advice to see if it works.

THanks, If you are expecting to hear the result of adding plug-ins to live input, do as @AndyB01 suggested...enable input echo...the button just right of record in the track header.

I have attached a few screen shots . Also, then I use the second track. the meter (green bar) responds on the first track. Not sure this has anything to do with. it.

scook Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 If this is about the instance of TH3 in track 1, the plug-in is turned off in the FX rack (assuming Tungsten theme). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have attached a screen shot of a template project. You can see it is enable. I can hear my guitar but no effects? Seems like it would be simple...

rsinger Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Note that the Audiobox IF has a Mixer. Make sure that it's turned all the way clockwise to playback, otherwise you're just listening to the input. The guitar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 If this is the audio interface adjust the Mixer knob to the right (Playback) to hear the return from the DAW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you resolved the issue. That was the point of my earlier question regarding monitoring the computer output. The mix is the key! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
