Cannot hear effects in Studio One (professional) when creating a new song. Newly installed RME UCX.

Hello,

I have never posted on a single forum on the entire internet, so if I have posted this in the wrong place, I am sorry.

Here is my problem:

I am using a RME UCX which I have just installed. When I load a song in Studio One that I recorded using my old Audiobox, I can arm a track, play my guitar, and the effects in the signal chain are outputted to my monitors via the fireface.

The problem I have is, when I create a new song and add a new track and some effects (amp sim, compressor, EQ etc), I get sound (there is input and output, but it is just raw signal from my guitar), I cannot hear any of the effects I have added to my signal chain.

Thanks in advance

You need to be monitoring from the S1 to hear any insert effects while tracking. Make sure the blue button below the record button is on. Sounds like you are monitoring from your hardware interface (to reduce latency?), in which case you wouldn't hear effects in the software.

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate any help I can get.

I am definitely monitoring through Studio One. The monitoring button is on by default when I arm the track to record.

It turns out one of my stored signal chains was the issue. There is definitely a bug in there somewhere - if I load this particular chain, the effects added after the compressor and EQ do not work. I cannot pinpoint precisely what the problem is though unfortunately. But all is well for the moment.

What effects are in that chain and in what order?

- Gate
- Compressor
- Pro EQ

In that order. I haven't had any time to play around with it much more, but I have fooled around with the settings in each of the effects, to no avail.

I don't know enough about this stuff in general, but is it possible that this stored chain has become corrupted somehow? It's not an issue if it has, for me anyways, I can easily delete the chain and make another one, but if I could figure this out it might be able to help someone else in the future.
