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 flexi-
bility 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.
