OK, I'm posting this here since I got no reply from Computer/soundcards forum. I hope this is the right place...
I'd need some advice about real-time effects and monitoring in Cakewalk. I'm going to do
a DIY CD with my band Out Of Tune. My equipment is kinda limited, Guillemot Maxi Studio ISIS
soundcard, Behringer MX1604A 12-track mixer and some cheap dynamic mics. Soundcard is going
be installed to Athlon 600 computer with 128 megs of ram and 40 gig HD. As for software, I've
got Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 and Sound Forge plus some plugins.
So we're going to do a straight punk rock recording, trying to record everything execpt the vocals
at once. Because our studio/training room is kinda small, we're only going to mic the drums
and record guitars direct to line. After that I'll run them through Steinberg QuadraFuzz and Sonic Foundry
Acoustic Mirror ( Marshall JCM2000 impulse. This gives an OK sound, (some samples here but my problem is
that I can't hear anything from guitar while I record. I know Acoustic Mirror is too heavy to run
realtime, but I'd like to run QuadraFuzz (or Cakewalk AmpSim) realtime so that I can hear it while I record.
Is this possible? I'd like to do it so that it leaves the original wave untouched to disk and just
amplifies/distorts guitar monitoring signal (No, I don't have a DI-box/preamp/POD). I haven't used Cakewalk yet much
(We recorded our last, really horrible sounding CD with N-track and SB16), so you may explain it to me as
if I was an idiot..
