Help monitoring

[fernee]

Hi, I´m completely new here.... just got a Behringer U-PHORIA UMC204HD audio/midi interface, and comes with the Wavefront DAW, great for my home studio project, just followed the video tutorials and manuals, everything went fine importing a *midi file and assigning instruments for each track, but, after pluging the mic, I can´t hear the effects and plugin BEFORE you record, I mean, to hear the actual thing as is going to be recorded? I hear a dry voice, just plain, even using Eq., Reverb, whatever... and if I record and hear the track, everything is there, but is a try and guess, and I need to tune things beforehand....

Click on your audio input, and in the properties of the input, click the button that says "Live Input Monitoring"

Are you using speakers or headphones; and what point in the chain are they connected to?
The headphones, if using them, have an A/B switch, possibly for direct monitoring, or output back from the DAW? You probably need to have the output from the DAW back into headphones, AND the LIVE INPUT MONITOR from Waveform to be able to hear the microphone AFTER waveform processing, rather than raw unprocessed input directly within the Uphoria. You'll also need this when you multitrack as well...
