I have a recording session tommorow and I have a problem with Sonar5 that should be easy to answer. I am running a guitar through an audio track and I want to add live effect plug-ins like a compressor into the FX-bin of the track, however the effects don't work when I place them in. They only work when I enable the "input echo" button. However this adds a random echo to my signal in addition to my effects. I just want to be able to add effects and have them work normally.
What is the purpose of this "input echo" button anyway?
Thanks

Feb 28, 2007 09:55 pm Sorry for being so late here. I'm not sure why it is doing that. But as a rule I will usually add live effects via a buss. I simply set up a buss with the effect then you should use the effect send/return rather then assigning it in the FX bin and route the send/return through the buss with the effect on it.
You need to assign a send though so make sure you go to the mixer panel and then click to open the send section and then set it up that way. Sonar 5 defaults with a couple of busses already set up.
