I'm trying to check the NAM but I can't get an input signal.

Other programs work fine on Focusrite USB ASIO - Tonex, Aplitube5, Neural DSP. I tried different settings in NAM's audio panel, but it still didn't work. Changing to ASIO4ALL doesn't help either.
The noise gate and EQ are active, the output noise is audible when the amp simulation is loaded.

Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd, windows 10, Focusrite USB ASIO.

Sounds like you are using the standalone standalone version.
The standalone version is currently buggy on some systems. It’s recommended you use it in a DAW. Remember this is still in beta. I know many others were having issues with the stand alone version. Also the IR used needs to be 24bit 48khz MONO only (a current limitation in beta right now), or it may not emit sound or give you errors. The signal routing may need to be mono in and mono out as well, as neither version of NAM currently supports stereo operation.

I use it with the same setup as you but within Ableton 11 as a plugin, and it works perfectly.

You can check the FB group or NAM Discord group. I know the standalone version bugs with no sound has been discussed and diagnosed in the Facebook groul posts/chats.

Thank you for your help. Indeed, NAM works fine when launched from within the DAW.
I use amp simulations and IR mainly for playing live in a small gig room.

So far I've tried Ableton, Reaper and Waveform. Actually all three are fine.

How many plugins like Tonex or Neural DSP can you have open in the program for it to work properly?
Waveform wasn't happy when I launched five VST plugins.
What percentage of CPU load is the maximum for this program to run properly?
