goofy. sometimes running tests useing different buffer settings in an interfaces applet, in your case, focusrite applet, might help with any perceived lag etc. also i notice , via the focusrite vids , one vid showed a guitar input being sent to a set of speakers. there are various routing / monitoring settings it seems on that focusrite. i would go carefully thru all focusrite/you tube vids. lots of things to absorb.
sometimes on interfaces one has to try different direct monitoring settings. for example on my previous interface i could vary in my headphones how much stereo daw mix i could hear back versus how much guitar input i heard as i was recording guitar on a new trak. ergo i would look carefully at your direct monitoring options/settings on that focusrite.
i know exactly what you mean, you want some fx going in on the guitar as you record it. regarding that, and before sound interfaces got fancy, i had a method i used to use. i would lay down a scratch dry guitar trak, then add fx to it. THEN on the next pass recording the final guitar trak , the first one with fx i found energised me playing back. maybe try this idea ?
i notice over the years, in realband some peoples audio interfaces seem to work well. while others. people post some issue or other. its often finding the correct settings. which is why, if you peruse various daw recording forums you will see pinned threads identifying sound interfaces that work well with particular music software. THUS i think its about time that there was a RB thread on the RB forum where people can post their sound asio interfaces that work with RB well. i'll start one up now. hopefully various RB users will contribute.
muso. ps you might want to check your useing latest focusrite driver. cos when i was reading up, one feature they updated with a new driver release. if you have time in rb, as i'm looking to upgrade myself to maybe a ryzen , in rb action>>test audio performance, how many traks reported ? with that fab ryzen of yours should be huge number.
