Vegas does not allow for FX to be in the recording chain. When you
record you are recording what is being input into the audio hardware.

It wouldn't work very well if we did allow FX to be in the record
path since you could not monitor it in realtime. The hardware/driver
latency would add a delay that would make performance very tough.
