Hi,

A while back I posted this question but still can't seem to find an answer.

When recording a vocal on my FG6 I know how to record it with the FX (delay, reverb, etc) or with no FX (dry).

However, I would like to be able to hear the vocal thru the headphones with FX (delay, reverb, etc) but actually record the vocal dry (without FX). You know, like in an actual studio.

Is this possible?

Thanks again for the help!

I think it isn't possible. I'm recording vocals also but they're dry. the fantom monitors everything through your headphones what he records. So I don't think it can add effects while recording in dry mode.

Sure, it's possible. When you record the vocal track, make sure you select "Solo", not "Solo w/ FX"

To monitor the vocals with effects, just select the MFX1 or MFX2 and the chorus / reverb sends...

The input effects, like compressor, eq and noise gate will be recorded if you have it on....

If you want to later add MFX1 or MFX2 on the vocal track... just route it to MFX1 or MFX2.

If you want to process the recorded vocal audio with any processing of the filters, eq, other effects.. etc... use the sample in a sample set or patch, add any processing you want.. and then resample that to a new track........ you will have the old dry sample as well as the new processed sample... then you insert with ever you want on an audio track...... with out ever touching any external gear..... provided you have enough RAM.... and patience!

Thank you very much. I was really hoping this was just something I was overlooking. I wll give it a try.

Alright, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but I still can't figure this one out yet. I'm probably just over looking something really simple and when I finally find out what that is - I'll be kicking myself in the butt.

I love my Fantom G6. And yes I have a reasonable amount of studio experience and can record vocals dry but I really do like to hear some effects when recording vocals - doesn't everyone?

When recording a vocal (audio track) with a microphone (not a midi track), I still can't hear effects like delay, chorus etc, in the headphones while recording the vocal dry. (without any effects)

I followed the above directions - exactly. I'm not saying those instructions don't work - it's just that I can't seem to get them to work. No matter what routing options I try, either the effects go away or as soon as I select SOLO not SOLO with FX, the effects go away.

To sum it all up - as long as I can hear effects in the headphones - they also get recorded on the track. I searched the manual(s) again. I can't find anything that covers this aspect of recording vocals.

If anybody knows anything that will work or can give me more detailed directions on how to accomplish this I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the help - Jim
