But if you're hearing the dry signal while recording that might need a bit more thought on how to suppress it. Have you got direct monitoring on your interface and can you switch it off?
Also, have you loaded the Ampsim on the track? In which case the Fx button will be green (unlike in my picture). But I expect that's OK if you're hearing the amp on playback.
Obviously the guitar has to be coming through the selected input source.
Not sure what Basher means by "selected input source"
Thanks.
If you're hearing an echo then I think you might be hearing the raw sound before it goes into your computer (usually referred to as direct monitoring) followed by the sound being output from you computer. How are you connecting your guitar to your computer because the raw signal might be coming from the interface (i.e. nothing to do with Reaper)? Do you hear a raw signal even when Reaper isn't running? If so you need to see if you have a way to switch this off (or mute it).
But this raises another potential issue. If you're hearing a noticeable delay then you may have too much latency even after you suppress the direct signal. By latency I mean a delay between playing something and hearing it back. What do the two numbers show at the top right hand corner of Reaper because that's your input/output latency? For example, the two numbers in the picture posted by @Basher are 7.8/9.7ms giving a total latency of 7.8+9.7=17.5ms which would be too much for me when recording.
Now that i realise i'm totally out of my depth,it seems unfair to ask members to sort this for me,when I don't have the faintest understanding of what i'm doing.
i'm going to try & find any dummies Reaper instruction vids I can & see if I can get to grips with it(a bit),.
Thanks for your help.
I've just downloaded the Presonus Audio Box USB manual. Is that your interface? The following assumes that's your interface.
Based on looking at the manual, the input knob should just be set so you have enough level but don't have the clipping light flashing. That won't be the source of the raw signal getting through as far as I can tell.
I think it's the mixer knob you need to adjust and, based on looking at the manual (page 5), I think this should fully clockwise (in the playback position) if you want to avoid the raw signal getting through for 'through DAW' monitoring. Turning it anticlockwise will allow the raw signal to get through, which you might want to do if you ever wanted to do direct monitoring.
46/58ms is a very high latency for record monitoring. It's not a problem when you're just playing back tracks or using direct monitoring. It will be a problem if you want to play through an ampsim in your DAW during recording. The drivers for the interface (which I assume you've installed on your computer) will allow you to adjust this (see page 13 of the manual). You need to reduce the ASIO buffer size.
Did you see my other thread about the PS Audio Box,i had a driver that wasn't compatable with my PC,so I couldn't see the set up box you reffered to,but all's well now thanks to you pointing me in the right direction.All I have to do now is figure out how to work reaper
