Direct Monitoring a track while punching in?

Greetings!
I'm using the Saffire Pro 26 for my direct monitoring. What I'm doing is turning the output off on the track I'm recording to so the "blended" signal doesn't come through while I'm tracking. (latency'd vs. direct). If I "blend" the signal is just sounds nasty.
What I'm trying to figure out is how to MONITOR what I just recorded and punch in at a specific place without dragging the audio down to another track with an output set, and then trimming the audio where I'm punching in so it doesn't hang over when I start tracking.
This obviously isn't a problem when I'm software monitoring through logic, but even at the buffer set to 64 (as low as it can go) it still doesn't "feel" as good as direct.
Help!
thanks so much

Just for the sake of completeness:
Since the new recording will overlap the old one, if you just drag it straight in you will replace the "count-in" section of the original track. This is nothing to be concerned about because you can drag the right-edge of the original track back over the "count in" section of the new track (you could also drag the left and right edges of the new track to make the region smaller so it slips right in.
Good luck

  • Patchmix Direct Monitoring and MIDI problems. Please Help

    Here is my equipment:
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    version 2002 with service pack 2
    Pentium(R)CPU 3.2GHZ
    1Gig of RAM

    I have patchmix setup for direct monitoring in Cubase VST 5.1.1. The audio portion works fine. My problem is when recording MIDI in cubase vst, I can't hear the midi notes being recorded. I can see the notes in the MIDI key editor, they just have no sound when in playback. What am I doing wrong? Is using direct monitoring a good way to go for recording MIDI? Or, should I just use a regular send in patchmix to record midi since I can see and hear the notes being recorded? what is Direct Monitoring good for while using cubase vst?

    Hey Red Havoc-
    Considering how much this issue seems to plague your business- as I can well understand- I think it would be worthwhile to verify your OSX installation with Pacifist. Possibly a package was installed improperly or not at all- hope this helps.

  • I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

    I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

    Hi, I have this exact same problem. I haven't been using an iRig, just a cheap USB-jack cable. I managed to do this with the first cable I bought, but since it broke I've been unable to find a replacement that allows me to hear the drums while recording. DId you manage to get over this issue? If so I would really like to know how. Thanks and best wishes.

  • Does anyone know how to record directly to a track using Logic's effects?

    Hi there, does anyone know how to record directly to a track using Logic's effects? I know that it needs to run through a buss somehow but I am not quite sure how. Need to Di a bass and want to keep the levels down using a compressor (recording strait into a Mbox with Logic 8). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    If you route your Bass into a channel in Logic and put plugins/fx on the channel plus you have monitoring on (and monitoring off on your external mixer) - you can record while listening to the effected sound. However what is being recorded is the clean/raw audio - this is a good thing as you can later change your compression/fx settings - printing the effect at this early stage is normally avoided.

  • Monitoring the track being recorded

    Hello all!
    Audition 3 -  Is there a setting that will allow me to hear the track being recorded while I am recording it?  I am using headphones and using a line in jack to input the guitar signal but when I hit play or record the program mutes the recording track. 
    I understand why its doing that, to prevent feedback.  But I am using headphones and all sound is contained in the system.  So I would like to hear the guitar through the head phones what I am recording. 
    Thanks for your help.
    Jeff

    Go to the Options menu and choose Monitoring/Audition Mix. You can then choose between Smart Input which switches to Input when you drop into record or Always Input. However I should mention that depending on the speed of your PC and the type of soundcard and driver that you are using you may suffer from latency that will cause a delay between you sounding the note and you hearing it in the headphones. If you are lucky this may not be enough to stop you recording. otherwise you really need an audio interface that uses direct monitoring to get round this problem.

  • Listen to a track while recording another

    How do I record on a track while monitoring another track in the same project to ensure that my current recording aligns with the other track?
    Thanks!

    that should be automatic, it's how GB works, unless you actively Mute the other track (or solo the one on which you are recordig)

  • I lost a lot of tracks while syncing my ipod touch with iTunes. I have managed to get some of them back with a free download, but iTunes will not let me dowload whole albums which I have paid for. It does recognise that they have been purchased. What do n

    As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
    I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
    The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • How do I record one track while listening to another?

    I've recorded a guitar track. Now I want to layer vocals on top of it. Obviously, I need to hear the guitar track while adding the vocals. How do I do that in GarageBand? If GarageBand can't manage that, which program should I be looking for?

    you need do nothing, just create another track and record on it, all other tracks will play unless they are muted (or other tracks soloed)

  • Split Tracks While Recording w/MediaSource Play

    I'm converting some cassettes using MediaSource Player. Can I split tracks while recording, i.e. record the whole cassette and then split that into individual tracks? I've done that with Microsoft Plus!, but can't seem to find that functionality with MediaSource. Also--if I want the absolute best quality recording of the cassettes, am I right in thinking I'd select WAV stereo, w/96.00 kHZ and 24 bits? The cassettes are li've recordings that I'd like to?have professionally mixed in a studio and then released as CD's, so I need the optimal "starting point" as far as the digital files are concerned. Thanks for any advice.

    Yes, recording at 24/96 wave is the best that you can go with.
    If you have one of the Creative sound cards, check whether you have the Creative Smart Recorder application. It has a split track function.

  • Itunes stops working as soon as it reads first track while importing CD (APPCRASH). Need help!

    Itunes stopped working error comes up as soon as it reads first track while importing CD and needs to close program (APPCRASH). I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times - also ran CD diagnostics in iTunes and looks OK. I'm on Vista Home Premium Edition. If it will help I saved the CD Diagnostics from ITunes and the Windows APPCRASH info. I've spend several hours trying to figure this out. Any ideas?

    Problem solved! I had my pc plugged into a port replicator to use a bigger screen, etc. When I unplugged it and tried to import the CDs it worked fine. Not sure why I got the error but whenever I get unexpected errors in the future, I will take it off the replicator to eliminate that possibility. Thanks to all who reviewed.

  • Recording to one track while playing another

    Is it possible to record to one track while listening to playback from another? I have tried and the sound from the playback track seems to be full of static while recording but clears up once the recording functions is turned off. Any ideas? BTW....I am using the M-Audio Firewire410 as my interface.

    It's possible. Make sure your interface is set for the same sample rate/bit depth as your STP project. A mismatch can cause ugly stuff like that.

  • How to view score of one track while recording another.

    I want to record audio on one track. I want to read the notes and chords from another track while recording. ( I want to use the previously recorded track only for providing me with the score ) I would very much prefer to have Logic chase the score so that I know where I am in the arrangement while recording.
    I am aware I can print out the score as a a pdf file and view that, and its not so bad, however I would prefer Logic to follow along the score and let the playhead indicate the location.
    I can do this when not recording. I can view the previous track just before I go into recording, but when I go into recording, the score switches to showing currently track being recorded ( which is empty)

    Hi there,
    Floating Windows all but disappeared with Logic 8 and many of us mourn their passing. Although some windows are, by default, floating (eg transport), the only one that you can choose to make float nowadays is the Environment, useful if you're setting up faders or some other real-time control.

  • GPS Tracking program that continues to track while using other iPhone apps

    Does anyone know of a GPS tracking app for the iPhone 3G that will continue to track while listening to music or answering calls? The few apps I've tried quit logging when you change to another app.

    Thanks - hopefully Apple will address this soon. I'm not willing to hack/jailbreak my phone just to get this functionality.
    One last dig:
    This is the unfortunate reason that I've stayed away from Apple for so long. They make WOW stuff that is pretty and neat to use as long as you stay inside the "box" so to speak. I guess I'll have to take my old blackberry running with me - it can play music AND track your run with GPS. Who would want to do that?

  • Can i play one track while recording another
