Amp Designer Problems

[Rigger]

Hi, i have recently upgraded my whole home studio and started using Logic Pro X as my DAW, so far I'm pretty impressed but i have stumbled across a very annoying problem with the amp designer.

 

The problem is that i just can't seem to get it to work as I'm playing, all i can hear is my dry guitar signal coming straight through the interface.

 

Now... If i record my dry guitar signal and play it back, it works! I can change through all the amp models and change the tone of my dry signal, so basically my question is how do i get it to work when i just want to play and not have to record a piece and play it back to hear the amp models?

 

Am i missing something or is this not a feature of Logic Pro X? Im really hoping I'm missing something!

 

Thanks for any help/Advice.

 

James.

Enable Software Monitoring in the audio preferences of Logic.

First, turn monitoring OFF in your audio interface software.

 

Then, select the software monitoring checkbox in Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio.
