I am working on getting my computer set up for recording. I have previously purchased EZ Drummer and the Metal! pack, and I'm really enjoying the sounds I can create with it. I am using Reaper with Emissary, TSE X50, and Pulse IR loader. They work great, but I have a strange issue with it. It doesn't seem to work 'live' so to speak, meaning it works flawlessly once I record a guitar track and apply the plugins, but it doesn't work while I am playing in real time and not recording. I hope that makes sense. Any idea what's going on with that? I'm sure it's a simple thing I am overlooking, so please be gentle.
Sounds like you have to change the monitoring mode.
Thanks for the reply, and for the video link! I tried turning it on and it still isn't working. I have attached a photo of my workspace. Is there something super obvious that I'm missing here?
Thank you all for the replies. I think I found a way to make it work...
To get the amp sim and IR to work "live" I have to arm the track, and make sure it isn't on 0:00:00. I also have to have some sort of media on that track, even if it is blank. Not sure why, but it works and I can move on with dialing in the exact sound I need.
