Hear effects live while monitoring?

[DJKhalidius]

I have made a little starter studio and I'm currently learning to use an audio interface (my first) with Studio One 3. Basically what I want to achieve, is to monitor my playing while hearing any added effects like EQ, Compressor, Reverb, etc. live while playing. I know this can be achieved by monitoring through the DAW itself, but can it be done while monitoring through my audio interface?

My interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, where I have a condenser mic connected and that's it. The Scarlett have a Direct Monitor function which works perfectly, but I never hear the effects from SO3 when using this feature. Can this be done?

Im not sure I understand why you need to ask, as it would sorta appear as though you already have the answer. Maybe Im not understanding what you mean.

Audio goes in through the soundcard, then to the DAW, the DAW does stuff with it, and then whatever the DAW does gets sent to the soundcard for output.
Direct Monitoring is listening to the input audio before it reaches the DAW.
You can't hear what the DAW is doing to your audio unless you're listening to what the DAW has done to your audio. If the 'added effects' you're talking about happen inside the DAW, then you cant listen to them before they reach the DAW.

Thanks for the detailed replies, guys. I'll monitor through my DAW then, until I get an interface with dsp effects.
