back track with no distortion?

when i record with the backtrack and put the files on my computer...i can't hear the distortion that i recorded the 'riffs' with....it's a clean guitar sound. my guitar goes into the input of the backtrack and the output to the amp. i can hear it on playback when plugged into the amp, but not in the computer. is this standard?


thanks

mike

The BT records what it gets. In your chain: the dry guitar signal only.

If you want to record the distorted signal, you have to choose another setup, where the BT sits after the wet/distorted signal in your chain.

Hello,

 

  The above poster is correct. Any effects you want to hear in your recordings will have to go in line before the BackTrack.

 

  Does this answer your question?
