Am I wrong in how this works??? I was thinking that if I apply an Input FX to a track using Reaper 4.1, the effect should apply to what I record.
Simply put, I plug in my electric guitar, insert a track, enable record, select input fx on the vertical mixing bar for that track, select JS Guitar Distortion, the settings window opens, the Input FX button turns green, but no matter what I do to the settings on the effect, the input audio never changes.
I've looked on You Tube, in this forum, in the Reaper Forum, just can't seem to figure out what I am missing here, unless I'm not understanding how Input FX work.
FYI, if I record a track then apply effects to that, it works OK, just thought I could use the input FX to duplicate what you can do with an effects pedal.
Thanks
