Can't get the signal to get through

[Nu Flood]

Please help.

I really don't understand what is wrong.

I can see that my guitar, which is connected to my win10 laptop through a usb sound card is being identified by cakewalk (I can record the clean guitar and I see in the track itself that the meter is responding when I play).

But when I open any vst plugin, they don't "see" any input.  E.g. the TH3 tuner is not showing anything. And of course, there is no way to monitor through the computer.

What is not set up correctly that blocks the sound from reaching the plugins?

Thanks

If you are trying to monitor through the DAW, enable Input Echo on the track. The Input Echo button is just to the right of the Record button.

I can't believe it was that simple...

I'm an idiot.

Thanks so much!

Nope - not an idiot.  Just didn't know something  - big difference.
