Sure you can, for example, in Sonar 5 you just enable the audio engine while recording and any plugins on your track will play during recording. I don't, however, know if that feature is available on all recording programs.

Me, I like guitar. I like loud squeals and pinch harmonics that only dogs can hear, tapping that would redefine what Fred Astaire popularized, sweeping that would make a janitor jealous, and most importantly great melodic HOOKS (like the greatest hook writers of all time Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson). Singing is not a requirement.
No what I couldn't beleive is that after reading through page after page of the original posting activity, no one answered a lot of questions.
Anyways, as far as the plugins actually doing their thing during recording, I know protools, nuendo3, adobe audition and sony sound forge 8 won't. I just assumed you would have to have the recording and then go and implement the plugins post recording.

Yeah, I'm not surprised by SF8 not doing it because it is much more of a Wave editor/Mastering program rather than a multi track recorder.

I'm sorry for this stupid question but, I'm new to home recording.
what are plug-ins and how do they work?
I use Audicity for recording. Can plug-ins be used with Audacity?

Plugins are essentially outrageously priced software (typically in bundles of different plugins) that you apply to a recording. There is really no limitations to what a plugin can do to the sound depending on which plugin you choose.
The more popular ones such as the Waves brand blugins can cost up to $5000 for the full set but the set is every plugin you need to completely polish up, eq and master a song or track so when there's a multi million dollar record coming out of the studio becuase the plugins made it all nice and polished up sounding, it's well worth the price.
For the amature, it's not though and they're very powerful and require a really good ear to make the most of them.
Izotope makes ozone3 which is sort of an all in one budget priced mastering plugin that's VERY nice considering the price which I highly reccomend.
As far as audacity goes, I think Audacity is more for recording single tracks than big multi track sessions but it DOES support plugins.
And from that point, you should be able to install any VST plugins (plugins come in a few differnet formats depenidng on which software you're using to record). I use audition 2.0 which supports VST and Direct X formats and I think ProTools uses the RTAS or something like that.
some plugins can be applied in real time as you record but most are done after you record the track, you go in and edit the wave file you recorded and can preview the track with and without the plugin being applied and tweak it and hear how it affects the sound in real time.

I'm new here. I've recording via VST for sometime. I used to use Multitrack Studio Lite (www.multitrackstudio.com) for recording and now I use Kristal Audio Engine (www.kreatives.org) to record.
There are some good plugins at frettedsynth.com especially freeamp2.
These are free plugs. Run the setup and they will install to your VST folder of course. They all start with the name "Modern". Now if you scroll down you will see the Faceplate of the LA2A. The 1176LN is in there to.
Once installed, the names of the Plugs are:
"Modern VLME" is the LA2A
"Modern VSME" is the 1176LN
Try them out and let me know if they sound similar to the UAD emulations.
Thanks
