Real-time Cubase Recording with Sidejack Guitar

With an Eastern musical flavour, I have made a real-time video of overdubbing a guitar track on Cubase. The guitar is an Eastwood Sidejack baritone guitar, (the tuning is B|E|A|D|F#|B).

I am using native VST plug-ins on the lead guitar track (flanger and delay), and the 'bass' track is the same instrument just with a different pick-up setting and EQ/compression settings.

You can see the waveform being printed to the drive as the track progresses. This video is just a brief insight into basic, digital sound-on-sound recording.

Be gentle, I've never had a lesson in my life.

Hello, I would really like some advice on Cubase 6 if you can help. When I record guitar into cubase, I won't hear the tone of the guitar, all I can hear is the actual guitar, but on playback it plays distortion and effects all fine. Can't I make it so it plays how I want to hear it without even recording? You know what I mean?

Thank you!

@harku123 There is an option in Cubase (I don't use 6, but I'm sure it's in all editions) called "Direct Monitoring". It sounds like you have this enabled, and will always hear the input BEFORE Cubase, instead of the output FROM Cubase. Make sure this option is unticked, click the speaker icon on your channel, and it should apply inserts/sends etc.

@reinforcedpenisstem Thank you very much for replying, I already just happened to figure it out about an hour ago. I'm fairly new to DAWs and I got Cubase recently, but thank you very much my friend
