Morning all.
Newbie problem - I've recently been bought a Scarlett 2i2, Amplitube 3, and Tracktion 6.
They are running on my MacBook Pro.
Everything seems fine, until I prepare to record a track. I click on the 'R' on the track input, and, suddenly, I can hear the raw guitar sound [ as if it were bypassing Amplitube ] as well as the correct guitar sound.
What is actually record is just the raw guitar sound - it's as if Amplitube isn't there.
I've emailed Focusrite and IK too for their advice - I'm just waiting for a response.
Any ideas ??

Click on the Audio input you're using to record, and look down the bottom, in the properties panel for a button called "Live Input Monitoring". That will be checked. Uncheck it, and you'll no longer hear the unprocessed sound, while you're recording your guitar.
However, you will record the unprocessed sound of your guitar, because that's what's going into your audio interface. That's what gets recorded by Tracktion. Once it's in tracktion, that unprocessed sound goes through your amplitude 3 plugin, and plays as the "processed" sound.
This means you can tweak the processed sound after the fact, if you decide to add a bit more gain, or change the treble, bass etc on the amp model you used, or even change to a different amp model.
Once you're happy with the sound, bounce the track down, to a new track, to apply the amplitude effect to the recording permanently, and you can remove the VST/AU from the track, and save the CPU cycles involved doing that amp modelling.
Hope that makes some sense

All good advice. You don't really need to bounce to a new track however. Just drag the Freeze Point plugin after Amplitude to save CPU. Delete the Freeze Point and you are ready to tweak the guitar sound again.chico.co.uk wrote: Once you're happy with the sound, bounce the track down, to a new track, to apply the amplitude effect to the recording permanently, and you can remove the VST/AU from the track, and save the CPU cycles involved doing that amp modelling.

Oh yeah, forgot they exist 
I need to get using those more into my "normal" workflow, I think

Thanks so much for the assistance - I wasn't using Amplitube as a plugin - just as an external app.
Everything seems to be working as it should be.
