Listen to audio being recorded

[AllanP]

When I monitor a recording through headphones I cannot hear the special effects being used, like VST2x-RealJS Pitch/Octaveup.
When I listen to what has been recorded I can hear those effects.
How do I tap into the recording audio stream so that I hear all that is being recorded during the recording process, including the octaveup effect?.

Having researched this further, I find that it is not possible to listen to the sound after the filters are applied within OBS. I can only create a test recording and listen to the effect in the recording. This means that adjustments to the filter and test recording needs to be repeated until the required effect is achieved.
