Recording & Monitoring with Effects

The Order of Effects

PatchMix DSP allows you to record your tracks without effects (dry) and monitor with
effects enabled (wet). It works like this: If the effect is inserted BEFORE the ASIO send in
the signal path, it will get recorded; if the effect is inserted AFTER the ASIO send, it will
not be recorded.
Recording dry allows you to hear your performance with effect (to get the proper feel),
but gives you the flexibility to add or modify effects later during mixdown. This way if
you don't like the way the effect sounds, you can change or modify the effect without
having to perform the part again.
The basic session setup for this is shown below.
