Help! I only hear clean electric guitar while recording, and amp/effects after recording!

I have my electric guitar plugged into an Apogee Duet (driver is up to date with Yosemite).  After track is setup with effects, in an audio track or in a guitar preset track (I tried both), I can play and hear the guitar clean tones only without the effects I have put on the track, even though I have chosen guitar effects, like amp, pedals, etc...  Only after recording during playback, not pre, can i hear the effects I have chosen.  Why is this?  So pre recording and during recording, a clean tone.  Play back the track, it's all there with the amp and sounds I have chosen.  Frustrated.

Excuse this short reply, rehearsal in 30 minutes.
It sounds like you need to first turn off the Direct monitoring of the Interface. Most audio interfaces have a "direct no-latency" monitoring that actually takes place before the audio even goes to Logic, it's done within the interface. Different companies have different names for it, low-latency monitoring, direct monitoring....etc.
Next, open Logic's Preferences and I think with Logic-X  it's under the General tab (everything I'm describing will be under the general or devices tabs).
Select Software monitoring, make sure you I/O buffer setting is at 128. Lower buffer settings mean less latency but use more CPU.

    I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

    This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
    On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

  • Unable to hear my electric guitar

    trying to figure out GB 10.0.2!!!  Followed instructions in manual to connect and hear my electric guitar during recording (at least I think I followed the directions correctly), but there's no sound.  Monitor button is on.  Input source is correctly selected. 

    Hi davicon9t9,
    If you are having issues connecting or hearing the input from your guitar in GarageBand, you may find the following articles helpful (apologies for any information duplicated from the manual):

    GarageBand '11: Set the input source for an electric guitar

  • I have ringtones set for my iphone 4s but can only hear a ringer when somebody calls and nothing else

    I own a iphone 4s and have different ringers set for emails, text messages, etc....   However the only ringer that comes through is when i receive a phone call.  Can somebody help me?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

    Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

  • Severe static when trying to record electric guitar

    I've been trying to record a clean electric guitar and every recording is just covered in heavy hissing static sound. This didn't happen when I recorded an acoustic guitar through a microphone. I have an electric guitar going into a small amp, with the amp level set on the clean channel at a very low setting, then the headphone/output is running directly into my M-Audio FastTrack USB interface, which is connected to the computer. I have adjusted the "recording level" in garage band so that the signal never gets close to the red in the individual instrument track. The "output" knob on the FastTrack is set relatively low also, about "4" out of 10. When I play back the recorded track, the master level meter never goes into the red either. Yet no matter what volume I record at I'm getting this strong crackling/hissing as if it was extremely overdriven.
    Related question: When I play on the electric guitar, is it supposed to show an indication in the LCD box, as it does when I'm playing on my midi controller? It doesn't have the little indicator light showing signal, nor does the master level indicator, when I'm recording. Only the individual track level indicator shows the signal coming in. Maybe this is normal...
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    OK, well I solved my own problem through trial and error. Rant: I switched to GB from ProTools on the theory that GB was supposed to "just work" and I want to be a musician, not an audio engineer. Here is how I fixed the static: one of my garage band books told me I could set the Garage Band audio preferences to "System" default, and then set my computer's audio preferences to my audio interface for the ins and outs, because I wanted to play all of computer's audio, whether in garageband or not, through my reference studio monitors. Well doing it this way results in massive static when recording a real instrument, for no apparent reason. So to fix this, you have to set Garageband's own audio in/out settings to your audio interface, NOT to the system settings. This caused the static in my recordings to completely disappear. Go figure.

  • GarageBand Electric Guitar

    Help! I have an electric guitar connected to my Macbook Air with GarageBand '11 on it. When I start recording, it records the sound with the effect wanted, but DURING recording I only hear the guitar itself, not the Macintosh. Is there any way for me to make all of the audio come out of the Mac and none out of the guitar itself?
    Thanks, Marcel

    Like that I don't hear the audio coming out of the guitar itself, that I want to only hear it out of my Mac's speakers. And yes, it's electric and hooked up.

  • M-Audio Firewire Solo - Electric Guitar

    I am connecting via the M-Audio FireWire Solo, but I can't get garageband to recognize my electric guitar to use the amp modeling and effects. The only way I can get my guitar to be recognized is by adding a real instrument track(not electric guitar), but this limits the sounds i can produce.
    With the real instrument track I get options of the input(1/2 stero, 1-4 Mono, etc.) I don't get that option via the electric guitar track.
    Any suggestions on how i can utilize the electric guitar amp modeling and effects in garage band and use the m-audio device?

    In a electric guitar track double click on the amp or click the edit button it will spin around and you can select the input channel.

  • Only hearing vocals in left headphone, plug ins on right, why? logic 9

    i just bought a new akg mic and N.I. Komplete audio interface.  when i try and record vocals i only hear it in the left headphone, and when i add a plug in on the track i only hear it in the right headphone.  how would i set my pref. to have vocals and plugins play in both?

    Sounds like you're creating stereo tracks.
    Try creating a new track, and selecting Mono as your Format.

  • Does Adobe Reader clean up PDFs while displaying?

    Hi ,
    I have a PDF which I opened in Adode viewer and KPDF in linux. When opened in Adobe the PDF appeared much cleaner, bleed-through has been removed. In KPDF I am still seeing bleed-through and some other noise in the same PDF. Can someone please tell me whether Adobe reader auto-cleans the PDF while displaying and if yes, is there a way to disable it? Thanks in advance.
    -Sham

    Thank you. I tried that but still it is not disabling the clean-up. The PDF when opened in Adobe is still cleaned up compared to when the file is opened in KPDF.
