Audio Input Monitoring Problem

Hello,
I am having a problem where I can always hear the signal being passed to the external inputs of my soundcard, regardless of whether or not Software Monitoring is enabled, in fact, Logic doesn't even have to be open! Due to this fact I believe this is an OSX issue, however, since it is effecting Logic I am hoping someone here can assist, as I am at my wits end.
My setup:
Dual 2.5 G5
2gig RAM
OS X 10.4.4
Logic Pro 7.1.1
Emagic AMT8
Emagic a2|6
I have tried reinstalling the a2|6 software thinking the problem may have
been corrupted drivers, but to no avail. I have tried to mess around both in
the Sound Preferences and Audio Midi Setup sections, but no love there
either.
Weak sauce.
Anyway, I'm sure this is something simple and I am just doing something
stupid wrong, but I can't figure it out, and hence, I post to you. Thank you
in advance for your time and consideration.

do you have a external mixer mixerboard ?
or is your source plugged straight into your interface ?
maybe its not software monitoring it might be hardware monitoring so check your mixer or if not check the control panel of your interface because you can use it as a virtual hardware monitoring when you change few settings like...
in the Patch bay of delta 1010LT i can set...
Analog output 1/2 to Monitor Mixer,then i'll set the monitor mixer to settings like ...
Master on full
Software input 1/2 set to full( which is what is coming out of logic or the mac )
Software input 3/4 set to full or off ( which is what sends to my TC Electronics Finalizer 96K)
Analog IN 1/2 and 3/4 set to full ( which is automatically receiving the signals from external source even if i don't open any applications)
S/PDIF also set to full ( this monitors the output of my TC Electronics Finalizer 96K )
so check your interface to make sure none of this is not the problem if you don't want to continuously monitor the input source
using my setup means it bypass the software monitor maybe that what the problem is for you

  • 9.2 Update killed my audio input monitoring during play!

    I can monitor my audio input while I'm stopped, but as soon as I loop and play (not in record mode) it automatically kills monitoring of the signal. YET, I can still record if I need.
    This didn't happen until I updated to 9.2.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks!

    I got other problems after updating Logic, they occured twice. One was not having 'open recent session' and the other was not having 'incompatible' plugins menu item in Logic AUs. Perhaps this is similar to my problem and the solution was to trash Logic preserences and rebooting. Try it, you don't loose anything that way. I'm not at my mac now but the preferences can be in MacHD/library/Preferences (start with com.apple.logic) or in your user Library/preferences. There are 2 files and I'm not sure which one but if you trash both (without deleting the files, only trash) you can try if it brings the requested feature back. One of the files will reset your settings but if you restore it after the test you will have them back (of course with the 'bug' itself. Later today I will pot you the exact one to throw.

  • Input monitoring problem

    Hi all!
    I've got the latest version of GarageBand that runs on my OS X Mavericks. The problem is with my guitar tracks. I plug in using my line-in input with simple cord and at first, there is no problem. I can hear my guitar playback live in real time(i.e. input monitoring is on) on the guitar track. But then something happens and my guitar sound disappears from the track, although the input monitoring function is still shown as working. Can somebody please tell me why this is so?
    All help much appreciated.

    I have a similar problem, although I'm on Logic Pro 8.
    I can't seem to record my guitar track (mic'd cabinet) without having the result monitor back through my studio monitors unless I turn off software monitoring in Preferences/Audio. But then if I want to record keyboards direct and listen to what I'm playing, I have to go back in and turn the option back on.
    In Sonar on the PC, this was much more intuitive. You could arm a track for recording by clicking the "R" button, and separately toggle monitoring on and off by clicking the little speaker button to the right. You didn't have to constantly fiddle with the program preferences.
    I have a FireWire410 interface, and the monitoring only happens when Logic is loaded. I would have thought that the little "I" icon was to turn monitoring on and off, but it's some "pre/post-tape" toggle I can't find a use for.
    Kevin, how did you control your monitor mix before?

  • Input monitoring problem during recording

    Greetings,
    I recently purchased Logic Pro 9, and am having a problem with input monitoring. I am not able to in any way affect control over my monitor mix during recording. I have tried every combination of options, including software monitoring, auto-input monitoring, etc...but always get the same headphone levels from my inputs (I am actually trying to mute the input signals out completely so that I can play along to only the click.
    I am wondering whether this is some sort of software glitch, because I was able to control the mix perfectly before the latest software update. I wonder if that is the problem, or if I am overlooking some minor detail. Please help!!
    BTW, I have checked, and this is definitely a software, not a hardware issue...
    Thanks much,
    Kevin

  • Help...cannot get audio input monitoring t work

    when punching in..I cannot hear audio before and after punch. Please help!!!

    Try deactivating Input monitoring so you'll hear the track before and after the punch - like that you're actually listening "post tape". If you have an external Audio Interface/Mixer with monitoring capabilities use that instead.

  • LPX input monitoring problem, and varispeed

    Every time I select a track for a guitar, then turn on input monitoring ,  once I press play I get no sound coming through.
    Same thing once I enable varispeed.
    Is there something not checked that needs to be?
    Thanks

    Turn off input monitoring.
    Enable software monitoring instead, you should then be able to monitor if the track is record enabled.

  • Audio Input Monitoring

    I am unable to monitor audio in Logic 8. I can monitor MIDI fine and can also monitor audio in standalone applications such as Amplitube. I can hear the audio played back when i have recorded it, but not in the monitoring mode. I have checked obvious solutions..... stuck.

    right. but its not software that is the issue.. its guitars, and mics..
    Er... I'm not sure you grokked what I was talking about. Audio interfaces do one of two things, when it comes to monitoring signals you are recording (guitars, mics and stuff).
    Either it is doing direct monitoring, where it's using the interface's inbuilt mixer to pass the audio coming in on it's inputs directly to its outputs (and then on to your speakers).
    Or we do software monitoring, where the signal comes into it's input, it passes those signals to Logic, which then routes it via Logic's mixer back to the audio interface and on to your speakers.
    So if you want to monitor through Logic, Software Monitoring must be turned on in your audio preferences.
    signal shows up in interface, i dont think its a hardware problem. hmm.
    You haven't answered my question as to whether software monitoring mode is turned on in Logic. it needs to be, otherwise you will not be monitoring through Logic while recording, you will have to use direct monitoring and use whatever software controls your audio interface's mixer to route it's inputs to it's outputs.

  • Audio input/output problems with Mac Mini

    at first, my sound just stopped working all together and for some reason the monitor was getting no signal from the mac mini. i unplugged everything for a minute and plugged it back in and the monitor was working again, but still nothing with the sound. no sound coming out from even the internal speaker, and the audio in jack (which i use frequently) stopped working as well.
    this is the really strange part: after tinkering around trying to fix the problem i realized the only sound that comes out it is from the internal speaker, but it only comes out when i have something connected to the headphones jack.
    has anyone ever had a problem like this? i'm just trying to figure out if it is something i can take care of myself, or if i might need some repairs done.

    OK, then two things to do.
    First reset parameter RAM - it's an area of non-volatile memory used for system settings and hardware configuration. It it gets corrupted, it can cause odd problems.
    Reset PRAM
    -Shut down the computer.
    -Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in the next step but one.
    -Turn on the computer.
    -Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    -Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    -Release the keys.
    Next, perform an SMC reset. The SMC is the device which controls system hardware and devices, so if there is a problem with hardware components not functioning, it could be that.
    To reset the SMC on an Intel mini:
    -From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
    -Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
    -Wait at least 15 seconds.
    -Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time.
    -Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
    -Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.

  • Huge latency on audio Input Monitoring came outta nowhere!

    Hey guys. Bit stumped here..never had latency issues before..
    So heres my setup, 8channel mixer into a M-Audio Firewire Audiophile, which is like a DJ interface, but meh, it gets the job done alright.
    My project is, Track 1 Superior Drummer, Track 2 - EZPlayerPro, track 3-7 Guitar tracks.
    Now it plays back great. But when i try to record, nooo way! The latency is terrible! cant follow the beat! And the part that has me confused is, ive changed nothing! ive added nothing to the channel strips, i dont have any crazy long audio going on here, this is just a scratch track i record ideas on...
    Ive played with the buffer a bit, and havent gotten anything but making it worse
    Basically i started an idea yesterday, walked away, worked on it throughout, came back today, and its there on not just 1 project, but all of them.
    Yes ive tried the reboot, i hoped it was that simple
    Anybody any suggestions?

    is PDC set to "ALL"?
    are you run with Multiouts instruments?
    I suggest to use Lowlatency mode
    or this set

  • Audio input for live music video, question

    Hi
    I'm wanting to use imovie to record some solo guitar performances. I would like to be able to process the audio through logic pro as I record the live audio and video. I have a digi003 audio interface and am able to use it as my audio input no problem, but am not able to add reverb and eq through logic pro. I open both apps and in logic I get the processed sound but as I record in imovie I only record the unprocessed guitar. How would i be able to do this? Thanks for the help!!

    Hi,
    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions.
    If you have any installed, turn that off, try that site.
    For photos... back to the menu bar, click Safari / Preferences then select the Appearance tab.

  • LogicX Rec Problem. I can't hear while recording no matter I turn on Auto Input Monitoring at menu or channel. On certain songs I could thru AUX to REC, my L7/8/9 procedure. Now, inconsistent, not work. Any help?

    Logic X Recording Problem
    I can't hear (ex.) voice back while recording no matter I turn on Auto Input Monitoring at Record Menu or Channel Strip.
    On certain old projects I could when thru AUX to REC, which was my L7/8/9 procedure.
    Recording takes place on a consolidated session, all audio tracks with no latency, which actually happens only it can't be heard.
    Monitoring is very inconsistent and in fact doesn't work at all. Any help?

    Correction: actually "thru AUX to REC channel" is not effective.
    It's just that I can input monitor thru an extra AUX channel independently of the REC channel.
    Sending the source to be recordered to aux and audio rec at same time.

  • Digital audio input via mini jack/toslink from ADA, monitored via USB audio output... is this do-able? I know digital audio input should be okay but how do I monitor it, apart from using the internal speakers?

    Digital audio input via mini jack/toslink from ADA converter, monitored via USB audio output to amplifier... is this do-able? I know digital audio input should be okay but how do I monitor it, apart from using the internal speakers?

    You can output audio thru HDMI, with appropriate adapter.
    You can use additional cheap external usb audio for monitoring.

  • SPDIF optical audio input problem

    having got over the audio stutter problem by upgrading to 10.4.5, i discover that there is a part 2 to the audio faults on the last g4 powerbooks.
    i've been trying to record from DAT via the spdif input, but after a random amount of time, the apps stop recording with a processor overload error, or worse, something very similar to the looping audio problem previously thought cured.
    If i try and record via line in analogue - there is no problem.
    I'm not really streesing the CPU - i've been forced to try and use simple recorders like quicktime and boom recorder , trying to keep it simple and reliable at this stage.
    any ideas?

    But when I plug the output of the Radio Shack controller into the audio input of the iMac, it captures only one end (my end) of the conversation.
    Where did you previously connect that output, when it works properly?
    Is it coming over only on the left or right channel?
    You may be able to control the audio input more precisely using the +Audio Midi Setup+ utility (in the Utilities folder).

  • SM-58/audio input problem

    Hi. I don't know if this is the right forum, but it's worth a shot. I am at my wit's end.
    I have an SM-58 vocal mic, which I used to use through my macbook with a Blue Icicle interface. I then purchased a Line 6 UX1 guitar interface, with PodFarm software, which I then linked to GarageBand. At first I had no problem recording in GarageBand using my SM-58 routed through the UX1. At some point, however, the computer stopped receiving a signal from the mic.
    At this point, I no longer receive any input signal from my mic, whether I'm in GarageBand, PodFarm, or simply in the system preferences>sound input window. And the thing, is I know the mic is fine - it works fine through analog gear. I know all the other equipment is fine, too, since it works with my guitar. So what happened to my mic sound? Why does the computer no longer pick anything up? If anyone can help, I would be extremely grateful... I'm lost.

    But when I plug the output of the Radio Shack controller into the audio input of the iMac, it captures only one end (my end) of the conversation.
    Where did you previously connect that output, when it works properly?
