Help, Applied fx only heard on play back, PA9?

[bullyhill]

Q10/PA-9/no monitors

I also have a sb card that I have now disabled.

I am not sure what I'm missing, I 'm new to the pc/recording thing.
I can only hear the audio fx that are in PA9 after the track is down and then listen to them on play back. Is this the only option or do I need to route some virtual patch cords or something?
I am without monitors and use the headphone jack on the Q10. When the sbcard was active I could hear the post mixdown on the pc speakers, I have also ran the pc speakers in to the Q10 monitor outs without success.

I am appling the fx in the console view on the individual track. On play back I am able to change it while music is playing to preview other fx, Help?

Not quite sure I understand what you are asking.

Are you looking to hear FX WHILE you are recording? If so, that is called Input Monitoring, and AFAIK it was not available in PA9. That feature became available with Sonar 1.

However, a major downside with Input Monitoring is it requires very low latency. To get low latency you need a system with pretty good horsepower, as well as a soundcard with decent WDM drivers.

Thanks,
Yes that is the ? . Thanks , I have Sonar2xl but haven't even played with it yet I guess I will set it up.

As for needing a sound card with wdm driver support, does that mean I need the card that came with the pro Q10 and a second card.

My chip set may cause latency, it's not optimal for the recording aplication but I am using AMD 1900-266fsb/ 512 corsair 333/Raid0-1/ Epox 8k3a+. My timings are aggresive 2/2/2/5/1t.
I had some drop outs at default settings already and plan on tweaking it per some advice I have read on the forum. I am getting a strange soun in the start of playing back a recorded piece. Sounds like an reel to reel starting off and reaching speed.???

No, not if the sound card you are using has decent WDM drivers. I'm not familiar with the card, so I can't comment.

I think It will work out , I am using input monitoring and have achieved a latency of 2.2 with no drop outs till 6 fx are loaded @44/24. I have disabled the sblive card and now can hear fx while recording ... AOK.

I loaded the sonar and rerouted the virtual outputs in the q10 world.

I will now search the forum for inexpensive powered monitors.

Thanks again
