I have a weird issue. I want to go live on tiktok and am able to create a nice 8 bar loop that I can repeat and play synthesizer over.

I also have a sax and a guitar hooked up to the audio input on my scarlett interface. I am using a bit of reverb and delay for these audio input channels - I am using the reason effects for these channels. The problem???

The effects ONLY work when I either start recording or when the sequencer isn't doing anything at all. The minute I hit "play" and the music starts, I am not able to play with effects at all. The guitar and the sax are dry.

I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Reason (I am using version 10) and it did nothing.

Has anyone ever come across this issue before?

thanks in advance

Change the monitoring setting from automatic to manual: http://docs.propellerheads.se/reasonsui ... .06.3.html

thanks for the advice.. I tried that and the only change I get is that now I can't get any sound at all through the channel.... not sure what's going on

Have you also turned on the record arm/monitor icon for the respective audio tracks?

SO many threads here about people not realising the monitor needs to be set to on to be able to hear the signal coming through πŸ€”
