After 35 years of playing strictly acoustic axes, now I've got an electric guitar. To record in my situation, I need to go direct to my mixer, thence into a Delta 66. There must be some PC-based guitar effects and amp modeling programs/plugins etc. I know there are several included with my Sonar 4 Producer edition. The issue is hearing the effects in real-time while laying tracks.
I do mainly clean jazz stuff, so the there's no crunchy guitar sounds to hide the noise of a cheap pedal. I tried that with my RP50.
With my setup I've only been able to get my latency down to 11ms. So using a VST and listening with the tape-style monitoring turned on doesn't quite do the job. Though the unintended delay sounds cool.
Am I missing something obvious? My friends say I've graduated from dufus to almost OK on the new guitar. But I'm still murky about recording direct with it.
Thanks for any ideas at all!
