How to Hear Metronome in Headphones While Recording Through Audio Interface - Help!

Hey everybody,
So I've been trying to work through this problem for 3+ hours now and I'm stumped. It's very frustrating as it is such a simple problem. Right now I'm recording acoustic guitar through an audio interface - guitar sound goes to microphone, microphone goes to interface, interface goes to audio jack in Macbook. Pretty simple setup. I can even insert a splitter into the audio jack on the Macbook which will allow me to hear what I am playing through the interface in my headphones, which is what I wanted. However, when I hit record and the metronome starts playing, as I want it to, I can't get the metronome to play through my headphones - they will only play through the speakers. How can I get around this? Is it even possible, or do I need an audio to USB interface so I can have a set audio in (through the USB) and a set audio out (through the audio port)? Again, your help would be much appreciated as I am completely stumped.
Cheers!

In Logic Pro 9 (and X) you can assign different devices to the In- and Output, so I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to get sound in through the microphone and out through the headphones. You can even combine the ouputs into a Multi-Output device to send the same sound simultaneously to all outputs.
You can also aggregate all your in- and outputs into an Aggregate Device, then you can use any of your outputs and any of your inputs inside the same Logic project (on the channel strips).
Setup in Audio MIDI Setup (separate app, part of any OS X install, can be found in the Applications>Utilities folder)
Setup in Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>Devices (apart from colorscheme, it's the same in LP 9 and LP X)

  • How do I get live audio playback through headphones while recording a performance of a song on iMovie through external mic?

    Hard to explain but hopefully I can get the question across. If anyone can give me some tips on how this will work it would be greatly appreciated!
    I like to perform songs of my own in iMovie and upload them to YouTube. The problem I am running into is when I try to record the song through an external microphone the sound will not playback (while recording) through my headphones. The audio and video do record just fine but I would like to be able to hear through my headphones WHILE I record into my external microphone so I can hear how it sounds as I sing. Is this possible? As I stated before, everything works fine but I cannot hear how I sound WHILE I am recording through my headphones. Thats all I want lol. Thanks!!

    Did you ever find the answer to this problem? I have the same issue.
    Cheers

  • M-Audio Black Box Interface.  Acoustic guitar. No sound on monitor or on playback.  Tried every setting known to man, except the one that must work.  I appear to be recording - green lines in upper left.  Can hear it on headphones plugged into M-Audio.  ?

    M-Audio Black Box with Acoustic/electric guitar plugged in.  No sound on monitor or playback in GB.  Have tried every setting I can imagine.  Seems to recording because I have green bars in the upper left and can hear it on headphone into the M-Audio.  Record volume in GB not active - but I'm guessing the M-Audio cancels that.  Any ideas?  Help wanted.  Thanks.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • How to fix the delay problem while recording? Can't set the Latency to 0. Win7, CS6,Realtek,C03u Mic

    I am using Win7, with CS6, Realtek soundcard and Samson C03U microphone.
    There is a problem that's really been bothering me. When I record songs the recorded audio always comes 0.1 seconds after where it's supposed to be and I need to fix the problem every time. How to fix the delay problem while recording? I can't set the Latency to zero. The minimum is 30ms and I still get an obvious delay.
    I saw some previous discussions saying that installing ASIO would help. Is it gonna work on my PC?
    Thank you in advance guys.

    You probably should look at a more 'serious' audio interface rather than the Realtek
    Yes ASIO drivers are the way to go
    If you want zero latency you need to monitor via your audio hardware (hence the 'serious' audio interface suggestion)
    There are a heap of reasonable audio interfaces which will do the job for you that are pretty inexpensive and I'm sure that someone will jump in with a suggestion

    Hey shahbazfromgbr,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I understand you are having issues with sound output on your iPhone 4S. For troubleshooting steps, the following article provides the best information:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    1. Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    2. Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    3. While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    4. Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    5. For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    6. If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    7. Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    8. If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (choose Settings > General > Bluetooth).
    9. Restart the iPhone.
    10. If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    11. If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Some fields are missing while recording through shdb

    Dear Abapers,
                   I am doing bdc for F-27 t.code.Some fields,cobl-gsber(business area),cobl-kostl(Cost center) are missing while recording through SHDB.But when do it manualy the fields are displaying.Also i have ddded those fields manualy in the program,stll the fields are not getting captured.May anyone pls help me,why this problem is happening?What is the solution for this.
    Thanks in Advance.

    hi
    i can tell u that few transactions wont suffice us with BDC,so for such transactions we do bdc with similar kind of transactions.
    ie., The transactions FB60 and f-63 both are meant for Parking.
    But we cant do bdc for FB60 Parking. So we do bdc for f-63.
    similarly when we do bdc for vendor few fields wont appear...in that case, we use bapi for it....
    So try to find an appropriate bapi or similar tcode which will suffice ur need
    hope its clear.
    Regards

    The basic answer is that Apple has not programmed the capture routine with this capability. As such, you can always send QT feedback requesting this feature be added as a future enhancement.

  • Recording with audio interface FCA 202 Behringer

    Recording from mixing board through audio interface and was wondering how to record new track and listen to the other tracks at same time to play to? I know I want to use headphones but where do I plug headphones into? tried coming off of computer and did not work. Could come off of audio interface but that would probley give me just my sound going to the computer. Not quite sure of the signal pattern I need to set up?... Do I patch another cable out of the interface to the board and listen with headphones off the board. Not sure if the audio interface works in 2 diffrent directions at once thru the firewire cable..

    You choose the output in Garageband > Preferences > Audio Midi. Just choose built in output and monitor from your mac.
    If you return audio from the interface back to the mixer you could monitor from the mixer. Also monitoring playback along with a dry input will insure zero latency.

  • Listening while recording through headphones!

    So, I am currently using an M-Audio Profire 610 interface connected via a 6pin to 9 pin firewire to record some vocals and acoustic guitar parts with an Audi0-Technia AT2020 condenser mic. EVerything is hooked up fine and I can record with garageband well. My question is how can I make it so that I can here myself talking or singing into the mic whilst wearing headphones connected directly into the Profire interface. I have both the audio inputs and outputs for both garageband and my MB Pro (Unibody Aluminum) set to the go through the Interface but i cant hear anything through my headphones. Any suggestion would be a great help!

    Do you have monitoring turned on in track info?

  • How to Have Effects Turned on WHILE Recording

    I want to use Audtion as a live multi-track audio recorder for some multi-cam video work (5 talking heads on lavs).  I want to record with certain effects (compression, limiter, etc.) on WHILE recording--NOT applied to the tracks AFTER recording.  Is this possible? 
    I can only seem to be able to apply effects to tracks AFTER recording has already occured.

    Hmm... RANT!

    Finally, regarding SteveG's slur against TV sound people, I resemble that remark.  Yes, we DID overdo compression but there were some technical reasons for this.  For example, when we converted to satellites for distribution, we quickly found that the satellite system itself would overload slightly below +12dBu on the input.  Not only did this sound bad, the satellite operator would threaten to throw us off (due to interference with adjacent users) if we hit this level--so everything we did had a brick wall limiter above +8dBu.  However, this was still AFTER the production chain, not on the input.  When doing location sound, although I'd leave the limiter on in the camera--but I'd set my gain staging so this was only a last-resort stopgap, not something being relied on to control levels.
    It wasn't a slur against the people doing it - it was against TV sound, which, for the reasons you state, generally ends up as crap. It's also worth noting that it doesn't really stand a chance, right from the outset. For some strange reason, pictures always seem to come first. It's ludicrous; turn the picture off and listen to the sound, and you'll still have some sort of an idea what's going on. Turn the sound off though, and you generally have absolutely no idea at all! So which is really more important? Getting some presenter's ugly fizzog on the screen, or hearing what they're saying (I have to be careful here, as I might trip up my own argument...) So in some instances, sound ops don't have a lot of choice.
    But overall, standards are slipping even further. Despite all of this legislation from the EBU, broadcasters still can't normalize levels between programmes. At present, the BBC is a particularly bad offender. It's not just compression, it's everything. I've recently watched orchestras being miced up, with some horror - bloody mics everywhere. End result doesn't sound like an orchesta at all - it sounds like a slightly sophisticated big band. So when I go and stick my SoundField (or even a Decca Tree) over an orchestra, people are amazed - suddenly it sounds like an orchestra again! I've asked some of the badly-trained monkeys why they do it like this, and have yet to recieve a satisfactory answer.
    But in overall terms I don't care about compression on general TV output - it's only moving wallpaper, and you don't want to have to keep changing the levels, so from that POV it's a good thing; it's 98% rubbish anyway. But it does mean that on better programmes where they compress less - like Top Gear - you have to turn up the volume to listen to it, and be prepared to be deafened occasionally. That's fine, but at the end of the transmission you have to remember to turn the volume down again pretty quick...
