Subject:Monitoring Guitar fx Posted by: frustratedrockstars Date:8/26/2010 10:22:17 AM Hello, I have installed the IK multimedia Amplitude Fender plug in. When i bring it up in my track, i cannot hear the guitar fx when playing live. I can only hear & adjust the fx on playback. Is there a way i can hear & adjust the fx guitar as I am playing along with the tune (as I would using the SampleTank MIDI plug in)? Message last edited on8/26/2010 10:23:30 AM byfrustratedrockstars.
Subject:RE: Monitoring Guitar fx Reply by: JohnnyRoy Date:8/27/2010 7:31:43 PM What version of ACID are you using? In ACID Pro 7.0 make you you have Input Monitor Mode: On after you ARM the track to record. This only works if you are using ASIO drivers so make sure that your Audio Device supports ASIO. ~jr
Subject:RE: Monitoring Guitar fx Reply by: pwppch Date:8/27/2010 7:33:19 PM ACID requires that you use ASIO drivers in order to input monitor through track FX. Make sure you have selected to use your audio interface's ASIO drivers. Peter

Subject:RE: Monitoring Guitar fx Reply by: pwppch Date:8/31/2010 7:16:26 PM What buffer size are you using with your audio hardware? If it is too small, you can experiance static and skipping. Peter
Subject:RE: Monitoring Guitar fx Reply by: frustratedrockstars Date:9/2/2010 1:50:50 PM Audio Box USB ASIO 48K 24 bitrate Buffer Settings 5ms (256 samples) Is that too low? I may just scrap the plug in and use my fx pedals in.

If I had a choice between a plug-in and the real thing, I'd go for the latter as it's just one more thing the system doesn't have to do. Iacobus
Subject:RE: Monitoring Guitar fx Reply by: pwppch Date:9/3/2010 10:02:40 AM Is your USB audio connected directly to the pc or is it connected to a USB hub? If connected to a hub, try connecting directly to the pc. Try doubling the latency and see if the problem goes away. Peter
