Is it possible to set up virtual FX on a track armed for recording that will allow them apply the FX to a live recording in real time?
Specifically, I'd like to set up a noise gate and limiter on the track and have it "working" during the recording. Until I get whatever passes for a "studio" built, my recording environment is a bit noisy. I'd love to set up a noise gate to eliminate everything below a certain dB level. And if I can do that, then a limiter might also be nice so I don't have to have one eye on the meter, one eye on the lyrics, and one eye on the baby monitor to tamp down those pesky transient spikes.
I'm not sure how that would be done unless you are using a full feature DAW that lets you do that. I know I can do this in Sonar to monitor my guitar if I use a guitar VST but.... the latency is often killer. That is the primary reason I have rarely used a guitar VST.
I've recorded in some noisy environments.... my last studio in my old house had lawnmowers and weed wackers running, trucks on the road, kids playing, and trains rolling through town..... not to mention TV downstairs.... and it never presented much of an issue to me that I had to consider using VSTs and FX in real time to monitor the feed.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
I had a Behringer X32 and it would. I have a Soundcraft Signature 22 MTK and both the regular Signature 22 model and the 22 MTK will. So likely the other Signature models will too. I have a Zoom r24 multitrack recorder and it will. I have a Tascam DP 24 multitrack recorder and it will. I had a Tascam 2488 neo MKII multitrack recorder and it would. I have a Presonus Studio 192 8 channel preamp/interface and it will and it also has a DSP chip built into the hardware so it always works with zero latency as do all the mixers because you monitor from the mixer rather than the software.
So, if you have the appropriate hardware, the answer is yes .
Recording forum, so assuming this OP does not mean BiaB.
Most DAWs, including RB do indeed allow real time FX while recording. As long as your system is up to the task it'll work.
In RB it is called Input Monitor (first image), and requires good ASIO drivers to use without latency. After enabling you need to select that input via the track's DXi FX menu (second image) to hear it and/or record it. Once selected you can your FX to the four slots as on any other track.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
