Okay, I'm using MC5. I'm running my guitar direct through my soundcard. I recorded some tracks and then use "insert send assistant" and create an effect bus to add my amp sim to. And then send my 4 guitar tracks to that bus to save on CPU power.
If I don't change my track outputs to that bus, I can hear the original recording (which is clean) mixed in underneath the effects of the amp sim. I've used a couple different amp sims and still get the same result.
Although when I switch my track outputs to the bus with the amp sim on it, it sounds great. But I lose all control of track panning, volume, etc. All 4 guitar tracks are now controlled by the one bus. I don't remember this being a problem before.
So is there another way to get rid of the background recording besides switching my outputs. Or am I inserting my effects bus incorrectly?
Thanks!
