Hi Tony,

Exactly, the Focusrite's input monitoring doesn't go through the computer at all, so VSTs can't be applied to it.

In RealBand, hit the "VST/DX Plugins/Effects" button, and the DirectX/VST Window will appear. If you click on the drop-down menu marked "Track" and scroll down, Input Monitor Insert will be at the bottom of the list.

You'll want to turn off Input Monitoring on the Focusrite, so you don't hear an echo.

Thanks
Kent
