Hi there Ninja
Here we go:
- Open a New Project in GT3
- Connect your guitar (let us know how you do this) - make sure you can hear it (we can help if you can't)
- Make sure you're in the
Mix View - In Track 1, right click in the FX Bin and select
Audio Effects > VST - you should see your amp simulator listed, if you can, click on it to insert it in the FX Bin. If you can't see it - we can help.
- Click on the
Input Monitoring (Echo) button of Track 1 - you should now hear the processed guitar signal when you play, albeit there might be an echo (this is called 'latency' - we can help with this)
- Press
R to arm the track and then the Record button on the Transport to start recording.
The most important thing here is that, although you can hear the effect, GT3 won't actually record it - just the dry, unprocessed signal. When you play back your recording however, the signal will be played through the amp sim.
If the latency echo is too long to work with, you can turn off input monitoring - GT3 will still record the dry signal as above. Most guitarists like to record with effects though, we can help you try and get the echo down to usable levels if that's what you want to do though.
Let us know how far you get with this plan - we'll soon get you up and running WN.
