Effects with Software Monitoring off?

I looked for an answer to this on the forum, but couldn't find one.
I prefer to monitor with the "software monitoring" off to avoid the slight latency that occurs. Is there a way to hear some reverb on the input track when in this mode, or what do you do to avoid the latency if SM is enabled. I set the buffer lower but it is still audible.
thanks in advance from a rookie

Turn ON software monitoring and set the track to "no output" and use a send to go to the reverb. You monitor only the dry voice direct from your interface and only the reverb through Logic.

  • Watching videos on external TV with laptop monitor off?

    Hi,
    I'd like to view some of my iTunes videos on an external TV but with my G4 Powerbook's monitor off. (Watching full screen videos in full screen mode on the laptop itself tends to produce intense heat and resulting fan noise.)
    I connected the laptop to the TV with an s-video cable, and I can view windowed video in dual-monitor mode or full screen video in mirrored mode with both displays showing the same thing...
    ...but is there any way to just watch it on the TV with the laptop simply sending the video out and not displaying it locally?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. Yes, in the end, I hooked up an external USB mouse in addition to the s-video and power cables. That does allow the laptop to operate with the lid closed and display everything on the external monitor.
    Alas, my hope that this would allow me to view iTunes videos without the heat and noise normally associated with full-screen viewing didn't pan out. Maybe time for an upgrade.

  • MBP 15" 2007 with internal monitor off, main monitor signal on external monitor

    My MBP 15" 2.2 2007 2 MB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 8600 internal monitor has no video after startup.  If I connect my Apple Cinema Display to it, the video of the main monitor is on it, and the internal screen stays off.  If I hit the "Detect displays" switch, nothing happens.  I have tried the following:  reset PRAM and NVRAM, reset SMC, repair permissions using Mac OS X Lion Disk Utilities, and Onyx software as well.  I have also formatted the MBP and reinstalled MAc OS, and the problem persists.  Can anybody help?  Many thanks in advance

    No problem... happens to all of us.
    Glad it was simple - you wouldn't have liked my next few suggestions!!

  • Software monitoring and latency

    I've heard people mention that they turn off software monitoring to minimize latency, but I don't see how to do that. I realize it has to do with the equipment and maybe my device does not allow for non-software monitoring.
    I'm using items none of you have probably heard of: A HarmonyAudio Miglia firewire device. It has two analog inputs, firewire out, and a headphone jack. The inputs and headphone all have gain or volume controls. The two inputs come from a Behringer 8 channel mixing board's main outs. This mixer also has a headphone jack, control room outs and tape in/outs. It is a pretty nice board. I have a stereo amplifier and studio monitors for mixing. It seems like I could turn software monitoring off and listen via the Miglia headphone jack (or run it into the amplifier), but that does not work. When software monitoring is off, no sound comes from the Miglia.
    In general, with this sort of set up, what is the best way to have minimum latency. It is driving me crazy--I'm about to go back to my little $150 Foxtex flash card recorder. It has zero latency, zero! Latency is a deal breaker for me. If I can't fix it I'll have to go back to flash card recording. As much as I like the bells and whistles of computer recording, in doing the fundamentals it is too, too primitive. Thanks for any tips!

    I thought this sounded familiar - then I saw your earlier thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9832448#9832448
    I searched for the Miglia manual to see what they offered for hardware .v. software monitoring, and they don't appear to have any additional software for audio routing, which seems very odd to me. Most interfaces come with a control panel/mixer application which allows you to turn off software monitoring and instead listen to your source direct, thereby latency-free.
    Unless I'm missing something, short of buying another interface, you're left with only software monitoring as an option - what's your I/O buffer size set to in Logic? The smaller the better - too small and you'll get pops and crackles, but 64 or 128 should have low enough latency to be workable for you.

  • L9 - all tracks seem to "software monitor" when set to record! BUG?!

    Hi Guys,
    Not sure if this is another Logic 9 bug or if I am just going crazy!
    Often when recording tracking parts, I need to record three or four tracks at the same time. For example, today I was recording vocals, keyboard and bass.
    I always monitor the vocals through Logic, so the singer has some reverb in real time. However, for zero latency monitoring on piano and bass, I would usually just monitor them straight through the mixer and not through Logic.
    To achieve this in Logic 8, I would press the "software monitoring" button (the green one beside the transport window). I'd also press the orange "Low latency mode" button to make sure the tracks that were software monitored would not have any latency.
    Then I would select record for all tracks I was recording, and I would press the "i" button (orange button for input monitoring) for the tracks that I actually wanted to software monitor. Tracks with "i" pressed (usually just vocals) would monitor through Logic with effects, the rest would just be monitored through the mixer.
    In Logic 9, this isn't working! Even if I only press the "i" button on one track, ALL of the tracks are coming through Logic. It seems to be applying software monitoring to ANY TRACK THAT IS IN RECORD MODE, even if the input button isn't pressed for that track!
    So I either have to have ALL record-enabled tracks software monitored (which induces a little bit of latency for the keys and bass) or NONE (and leave the vocalist without any real-time effects in the mix while he sings).
    Am I missing something here? Is there a new setting somewhere that automatically sets all record-enabled tracks to software monitor mode when the software monitoring button is pressed in the transport bar?
    OR... is this a new bug?! It's a big one if it is!
    I'd love to hear what other people think... or if anyone has a suggestion that might help with this? I might just be missing something obvious here, but I don't think so...
    Thanks heaps guys!

    That's not how it works here (on version 8.02)
    With software monitoring enabled any track in record mode is passed through Logic's audio engine. Input monitoring only works when a track is -not- record enabled. At least that's how it's working with my RME hardware.
    Perhaps you're thinking of "Auto Input Monitoring", try adding that button to the transport bar and see if that's working the way you expect. Any tracks set to input monitoring and record will pass their signal thru Logic, tracks set to record only, will not. The sequencer has to be running so the vocalist wouldn't hear reverb until you actually start recording.

  • ISight cam on, but Monitor off ?

    Hi guys,
    tried looking for this question in the forums and nothing...
    I currently use a Macbook Pro and the latest version of Mac OS X. I also have the Macbook Pro connected to the Flat HD TV.
    My question is: How can I turn off the Monitor on the Macbook and be able to use the iSight Cam during video chat.
    Currently, the Macbook Pro is open and both monitor and TV shows the same video. To save monitor life, I would like to turn this off but keep the cam on..
    Thanks

    Found my own answer at MacForums.
    here's how to do it..
    Close your macbook - it goes to sleep, make sure the power adaptor is plugged in.
    wait 5 seconds,
    with a wire or wireless keyboard press any keys and wait about 5 sec. The Mac should wake up and show the monitor screen on the external monitor.
    After 1 minute, you could open the Macbook Pro monitor cover and the monitor should stay turned off. Allowing you to use the iSight cam with the monitor off and saving the life of the monitor.
    Hope this helps other people who's been trying to do this too.

  • Input objects and software monitoring

    Okay, my set up:
    Macbook intel 1 gig RAM
    Edirol FA-66
    Lacie external drive for audio
    The issue:
    The edirol has a peak meter which is just a light that comes on when the signal is too high, however, Logic is still perfectly happy with it, which means I have been having to make a guestimate of when the edirol might peak when setting the record level before recording. You know the situation, you say "play as loud as you're going to play" and set the level, then they play louder during the recording (particularly difficult if your playing and recording yourself!)
    Anyhow, I worked out to put extra gain on the input objects for my interface in the environment so that, with software monitoring on, the level on logic mirrors almost exactly my interface when it peaks. Great.
    However, I don't always want software monitoring. I've managed to get the buffer size down to 128 now I'm using an external drive, but it still feels wrong even though the audible delay is miniscule. In any case I'm not interested in software monitoring, I've never needed or used it in the past and don't feel like starting now.
    Is it possible to use the input objects, with the extra gain, for recording without software monitoring? I did some tests and found that I couldn't monitor directly and record with the extra gain whilst seeing the level meters.
    Maybe I'm answering my own question...
    Here's another thing, my edirol has 4 outs. Could I use two of them to monitor my recording signal directly, whilst using the other two to monitor logic (with software monitoring on) through a mixer should I need it on to use the extra gain (and maybe mute the tracks whilst recording)?
    Sounds like extra hassle to me, but would love to know if anyone's tried this before I spend half a day trying it all out.

    Sorry for the lengthy post folks, but the good news is I solved it. It was obvious and I said it myself in my post - the mute button while recording and then no need for a mixer.
    Anyway, it turned out it was useful to write it all down!

  • Software Monitoring HELP

    I use a 1.83 GHz G5 iMac to run Logic Express. My mixing board is firewire and supports software monitoring, it's a MultiMix16 Firewire. My problem is with software monitoring.
    Randomly, a few days ago, I began working on something and realized I wasn't hearing any audio from the program. Most normally, I'd be plugged into my headphone out or even main mix out, and I'd hear what I've recorded via the program. (All the tracks, etc.) Now, for whatever reason, I can still record with the board but don't hear any audio out except the live noise. Confusing, but I need help. I know I've got software monitoring enabled.
    Is my mixer broken? Is it simply a setting issue in Logic express? HELP!
    1.83 GHz G5 iMac, 1 GHz G4 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Hello Bahamaboy,
    Your problem is exactly my problem. I tried both Windows Xp and 7. I can see live video, but the utility only record for a few second and freeze. There is no tech support in my country - cambodia, so I'm in a more serious situation. I also need help. May be I should tried from a fresh windows installation, but what is it good for. It takes lot of time to reinstall everything. Your comments do suggest some software conflict. I think I will try it on my laptop rather than my desktop, which I do not have lot of software installed on my laptop.

  • Yosemite: Turning off Macbook Pro screen (lid open) with external monitor connected

    Here we go again, this worked pre-Yosemite. Now it seems this trick no longer works. After following these steps again the screen on my Macbook Pro now turns on after logging in and opening the clam shell.
    Anyone figure out/know a way to turn off the screen on the Macbook Pro with external monitors plugged in? (yes, closing the clam shell–but I'm referring to keeping the clam shell open with the display turned off)
    http://gizmodo.com/5938452/a-trick-to-make-using-an-external-monitor-with-your-m acbook-way-better
    To execute in Terminal:
    sudo nvram boot-args="iog=0x0"
    To undo in Terminal:
    sudo nvram -d boot-args
    Once you type it into terminal I believe you need to enter your password. I then restart my machine. Now the TRICK is to either restart your machine with the lid already closed (hit restart then slam the lid!) OR turn the machine on for the first time (then quickly slam the lid!) once you are past the login screen you can open the lid.

    Has anyone experimented with tip 2 (active corners)?  Perhaps it still works.

  • Twinview with one monitor switched off

    I have a setup with two monitors, one a DVI LCD, which I use as my main monitor, and an older VGA monitor, which I use only occasionally, both connected to an nvidia graphics card. They are easy to setup using nvidia-settings. The problem is I often only work with the LCD. But with the setup I have, if I reboot the machine with only the LCD turn on (and the VGA turned off but *connected*), for some reason, the number of dots per inch changes (I know this from the info provided by nvidia-settings), and the text on the screen appears distorted and smaller. Once this happens, I cannot set it back rightly unless I reboot an turn on the VGA monitor. Has anyone experienced this issue? (or has a solution?) The metamodes line of my xorg.conf is:
    Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1280x1024 +0+0, DFP: 1280x1024 +1280+0"
    I don't think it necessary to post xorg.conf in full, but please say so if I'm mistaken.

    I am not even a Mac user, but am guessing your problem is that you have somehow changed the screen resolution to something that is incorrect for your setup.
    Presumably there is someway to reset a Mac to use default settings or safe settings, possibly relating to bios use. The first result I get from a search engine is: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/772297

  • How would I monitor with FIREPOD and not software monitoring?

    Sound confusing?
    OK I'm using a Firepod. If I disable software monitoring (to reduce latency) how do I monitor through the Firepod? I lost the manual so that's why I'm asking here.

    If you are trying to monitor the Firepod w/ no Latency, simply turn the input/playback knob either to the middle (to hear already recorded tracks + your input) or hard left for input only. Arm the track in Logic, then use the headphone jack or listen through your monitors.
    This should give you latency free monitoring with no problems. I do this all the time after tracking w/ a board for seperate monitor mixes, since the firepod doesn't support that.

  • BUG: Alt+Scroll to Zoom with 4K Monitor on Windows

    Windows 8.1 users with 4K monitors and have Windows' upscaling enabled, please let me know if you can reproduce in the comments! If you have a Mac, you can try to reproduce too, to see if it's just a Windows thing.
    I recently setup a 28" 4K monitor for my Windows machine, and upgraded to Windows 8.1, because it has better independent monitor scaling. I also still have a 1920x1080 monitor. (I don't recommend this setup and Windows 8.1 doesn't handle it well. But that's another story)
    Premiere Pro is up to date: 2014.2 Release: v8.1, Caravan
    By default, Windows has this slider set to the middle recommended setting:
    This upscales almost everything seen in Windows, including Premiere Pro's interface.
    There's one problem: While hovering over my Timeline, holding down the Alt key and scrolling my mouse wheel doesn't zoom in as it should. It zooms, but the location it zooms into is incorrect.
    Here's how Alt+scrolling to zoom usually works:
    - wherever your cursor is located is where you zoom in to. If your cursor is hovering over the CTI, you'll zoom in with the CTI centered. If your cursor is at the 2 minute mark, when you alt-scroll to zoom in, the 2 minute mark will be centered in the timeline.
    With Windows 8 scaling turned on, the math that drives Alt+scrolling's centering algorithm is totally thrown off! It's hard to describe in words, so here's a graphic that shows exactly what happens when I place my cursor over the red spots and try alt+scrolling:
    If the software was working as intended, the red & yellow arrows would overlap eachother, because your zooming should be centered right where the cursor is.
    It's driving me crazy, as I rely on the Alt+Scroll method to zoom. Zoom Tool and the +/- keys aren't granular enough; and resizing the horizontal scrollbar is a newer addition to Premiere that I haven't needed to use just yet, as alt+scroll was working fine for me until upgrading to 4K.
    Now, I did consider that my second 1080p monitor might have added to the math problems as it has a different amount of scaling applied to it, but I completely disabled the second monitor and ran tests and had the same bug, so the chance of my second monitor having any affect on this bug is incredibly slim.
    Obviously there are workarounds:
    Turn of the Windows DPI scaling. Fixes the problem instantly, but everything is really tiny on the screen, and isn't really recommended
    Don't use the Alt+Scroll method to zoom.
    I'm assuming this is only a Windows bug, but if someone wants to test this out on a Mac with a Retina display, that would be helpful!
    Can anyone else reproduce this bug? If so, can we all file bug reports to make sure the message gets across? I've heard from Mark that that's the best way to make sure the Premiere team takes an issue seriously. If a bug is only reported by a single user, there's a chance that very few users are encountering the issue, and they won't prioritize a fix.

    Hi Tim,
    If it's not recommended to use the software when DPI scaling is enabled, it would be nice if the software would give you a one-time warning, letting you know that Premiere Pro hasn't been fully optimized to work properly when scaling is enabled.
    Not a bad idea. Would you mind filing a bug report? http://adobe.ly/ReportBug
    So, I just installed Premiere Pro the day of this post on a brand new machine. If Caravan isn't the current version, why is Creative Cloud still telling me I'm up to date? I've restarted my computer a few times... the the CC app should know what's apps are up to date and which aren't, correct? Or is it just a mistake that "Caravan" is shown in the about info?
    This drives me a little crazy. I will bring this up with my colleagues. The actual version number is at the bottom of the "About Premiere Pro" screen. Because it says 8.1 at the top of the screen is confusing customers.
    Another bug at higher DPIs that I noticed after posting this... plugins are cropped wrong. Here's what it looks like if I use a Dynamics effect:
    It's annoying, but this one has an easy workaround... just resize the window to way bigger than it should need to be. Sure, the bypass button and presets are partially covered, but it's still usable.
    It would be great to get a bug report about that, as well. Thanks!
    So yeah, in conclusion:
    It would be great if you could let your customers know up-front in the software that Premiere Pro isn't fully ready for Windows' hardware scaling. Photoshop has a HiDPI setting, but the dev team rightfully tucked it away in an experimental features section.
    besides these bugs, the software seems to work as intended, so you guys are almost there, thankfully!
    Thanks so much for reporting back.
    Regards,
    Kevin

  • Playing real instruments with software instruments

    Hey, I've been using logic for years but have never tried playing with a real instrument until now. When i connect my guitar Logic recognizes it and changes the driver to unknown USB device, but there is no sound since built-in input isn't selected and the instrument records but i can't hear it until i switch it back. How do you play real instruments with software instruments? Should be pretty simple. Thanks.
    - Sean

    Okay… the way Logic works is to use the same device for both Inputs & Outputs (there is a way round this, but let's not go there just now. First person to say 'Aggregate Device' gets thumped!).
    So when you choose your device (usefully known as "Unknown USB Device") in Audio MIDI Setup, this means that you are no longer using your Built-in Inputs & Outputs — because that's the alternative.
    Which means you won't hear anything through your speakers connected to your Mac. To hear an Output, you would have to connect your monitors/headphones/etc. to your device.
    Furthermore:
    _Auto Input Monitoring_
    If Auto Input Monitoring is switched on, you will only hear the input signal during the actual recording—before and afterwards, you’ll hear the previously recorded audio on the track, while the sequencer is running. This helps you to judge punch in and punch out points when punch recording. If Auto Input Monitoring is switched off, you will always hear the input signal.
    _To switch auto input monitoring on, do one of the following:_
    • Choose +Options > Audio > Auto Input Monitoring+ from the main menu bar (or use the +Toggle Auto Input Monitoring+ key command).
    • Control-click the Record button in the Transport, and turn on the +Auto Input Monitoring+ setting in the pop-up menu.

  • Please help with strange monitor/Lightroom 4 interaction problem

    I bought a Dell Ultrasharp U3011 yesterday, and I'm now facing a very strange problem. It's sort of related to the common discussed issue of Lightroom's color management, but there is a twist here. I'll explain.
    The monitor I had been using (and still have) was a Samsung SyncMaster 244T. I had no problems at all with it.
    With the U3011, I've run into this problem:
    -When I view files in Lightroom 4, the colors are muted and contrast low. The same files seen in Xnview, ACDSee Pro (with the color management turned off), Digital Photo Professional (colorspace set to sRGB), are much more vivid. In Photoshop, if I use the default color setting, it looks muted like Lightroom (I'm guessing because Adobe products have default color profile set to ProPhoto RGB), but if I set the color profile to the monitor's profile, it becomes vivid and matches the other software I mentioned. If I use any other profile such as sRGB IEC81966-2.1, ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB, etc, it doesn't match the other software I mentioned. This is strange because the other ones match each other because they are set to sRGB, but in Photoshop, even if I set the color profile to sRGB, it still doesn't match.
    -In Lightroom 4, even if I use Soft Proofing, nothing changes. It's as if Soft Proofing is broken--it doesn't do anything, no matter what color profile I choose.
    -Now, here's the twist. I didn't have any of these problems when I use the 244T. This leads me to assume that the problem is how the U3011 is interacting with Lightroom. I did a quick comparison of opening up the same image on both monitors in ACDSee Pro, and they looked identical. (At this point, I had the U3011's preset set to sRGB. This is the only preset that makes the U3011 look identical to the 244T).
    Next, I did an experiment, and I was very surprised by what happened. This is what I did:
    With both monitors as a dual display setup, I turned on Before/After comparison in Lightroom (made sure both version had the same setting and look identical by copying the After's setting to Before). I then moved Lightroom's window so that one photo is seen on the U3011, and the other shows up on the 244T. And OMIGOD, they looked different! Why is this happening? I've already established that the same image looks identical on both monitors when viewed with ACDSee Pro, but in Lightroom, they looked different on each monitor.
    And then things got even more weird. When I dragged the Lightroom window fully to one monitor or the other, Lightroom actually started changing the colors right before my eyes as it responded to which monitor was displaying which photo! Lightroom was somehow interacting with the monitor in real-time. So if the Before looked muted on U3011 and the After looked vivid on the 244T, when I drag the whole window into 244T, the muted Before will stay muted for about a second or so, and then it'll suddenly change and become identical to After. And when I did the reverse (drag the window into U3011), the reverse also happened--the vivid After will stay vivid on U3011 for about a second or so, and then it would suddenly change and become muted. Lightroom was identifying each monitor's color profile setting and changing the images according to which monitor was doing the displaying, and when the images were split between the two monitors, Lightroom was slitting them into two different settings to match whichever monitor is displaying which side.
    So what the hell does that all mean, and what can I do to get Lightroom to display the photos so that they look the same as on all the other software I mentioned (so I don't have to play the guessing game of editing the images, export them out to other software to check how they turned out). Also, remember that I didn't have this problem with the 244T--Lightroom displayed the photos the same way as the other software I mentioned. The problem right now is that the U3011 is somehow causing Lightroom to display the photos differently, and no color profile presets in the OSD control can make them match.
    I need to solve this problem, or else my last resort would be to return the U3011 and try another brand/model and see if that helps.
    Any ideas?

    Yes, that's basically sensible advice you got there (but I was more succinct ).
    An important point that was mentioned over there is that you must not confuse document/source profile with monitor profile. They are both links in the color management chain, but they serve different purposes. The document profile defines the colors in a standard color space. The monitor profile describes the monitor's own native color space - its response to the RGB numbers it's fed. So one is translated into the other, by the application on the fly, through a normal profile conversion, and that way the colors appear on-screen as intended.
    If those two profiles/color spaces are roughly similar, as they would be in the case of an sRGB document displayed on a standard gamut display - then you can get by without color management. It won't look too far off. But a wide gamut monitor changes the rules, because its native color space is not similar to sRGB, it's much closer to Adobe RGB.
    Anyway, this is what color management is about. Any profile can be translated into any other. So in this context it doesn't really matter what color space the document is in - as long as you have a good monitor profile it will display correctly (within practical limitations). Lightroom is a sort of special case because its internal working color space is not one of the standard ones, instead it's a modified ProPhoto space with linear gamma. But the basic principle is exactly the same: source profile > monitor profile.
    Just to go a little more in-depth while I'm at it: When you calibrate a display you actually do two separate things. You first calibrate it to a more or less standardized response. But that's just a linear one-dimensional correction. It does nothing about how color is actually reproduced, how red is red for instance. The calibration is global and affects everything system-wide because it's read into the video card or monitor hardware.
    Then, once calibrated, a monitor profile is made. This is a full, complete and accurate description of the monitor's behavior, in three-dimensional color space. The precision level is much higher. This profile is used, by color managed applications like Lightroom and Photoshop, to display the image.
    Other applications that are not color managed will simply ignore this profile, and send the RGB numbers straight through to the display, unmodified. With a standard gamut monitor (and an sRGB document) the difference won't be too dramatic and you may not notice it unless you look closely. But a wide gamut monitor will make the difference jump out immediately.
