hear your guitar as you record

noobie question:

when you record your guitar, do you hear what you're playing? i don't. i just hear the other tracks. i'm currently working with pinch harmonics. i'm not that good in pinch harmonics and it's important for me to hear if i'm nailing the take.

    On the track (guitar) you are recording too, simply select the monitor button.  Its called the "input echo" button.  Looks like a dot with right parenthases.  Probably spelled that wrong.  This should give you what you need.

    be aware that high latency settings, and 'input echo', don't play well together.

    I monitor what I'm playing through my mixing desk, and the feed into my interface/Sonar is from a pair of Group Outputs.

    I monitor my guitar by having the amp cranked up so freakin' hot that it blasts right through my headphones.  Wether you want a clean sound or crunch time, a loud amp gets you more warm, tubular tone!

    Rock on!

    +1 on just turn the amp up, I have a feeling you're going to get unbearable latency with input monitoring on just using ASIO for all and your on board conexant
