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

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

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.

Monitoring audio during record session

I'm using Soundbooth (CS4) to digitize LP's on my Mac using an Audio Technica AT-LP120 USB turntable.
I'm able to capture the audio in Soundbooth, but I'd like to be able to hear the audio during the recording session.
I can't seem to figure out how to do that. Can someone give me a little coaching please?

There's a button in the middle of the recording dialog box called "Monitor Input during Recording".

Problem during recording of CJ01 transaction for BDC

Hello All,
I am facing a problem during the recording of CJ01(Creation of projects) for creation of BDC program.
The problem is during recoding after entering the the first WBS element with level 1 and i press the '+' button to create one more WBS element with Level 2,the first WBS element with level 1 goes to the bottom of the line item table and now if try to create the WBS element with Level 2 in the first line it wont allow because of the fact that the first WBS element with level 1 is below it.
But if i enter the first WBS elemnt with level 1 in the first line and come to the next line and enter the second WBS element with level 2 it will create since Level 2 WBS is below the Level 1.But this approach cannot be used for doing a recording for BDC.
Can anyone help in this regard
Thanks in Advance
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
NW is right. It is not proper to use BDC for CJ01. You can get more control and better if you use the following function module,
1. Use BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN to create project definition and WBS Structure in one go. see the documentation in the BAPI on how to use this. Post the resut in this forum if you face any problem

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.

Midi latency problems during record/playback

I am starting to use Garageband for midi recording--I am going through an M-Audio Audiophile interface by firewire--when I preview the software instruments everything is fine but when I record then the recorded notes are dropping out or delayed during record and playback--how can I solve thhis problem?
I have already followed the Garageband help suggestions for settings
I would welcome any help!

Do they have the same interface as you? I get very little latency on my iBook G4 and I am using usb 2.
Before getting my external drive I had been recording successfully on my iBook's hardrive. Besides eating up hardrive space I had no problems. Much of what I do uses GB's excellent software instruments and MIDI.
Software instruments are strenuous on the cpu and ram. What is your ram situation?
I also lock tracks as I go along, especially with software instruments. Avoid using effects during the recording stage, add the effects afterwards.

Please allow input monitoring in waveform recording.

It's a little absurd that such a sophisticated piece of audio software does not allow this simple function. Audacity has it and so should Audition!
Sure, it;s possible in multitrack mode and also through one's audio interface, however when recording directly to a file via Soundflower or other internal routing software these solutions do not apply.

Traditionally, software monitoring must be on, otherwise Logic does not send audio signals live through the mixer.
As for monitoring - the signal presumably will be sent wherever that channel is sent to - if you set that channel to output to outputs 5 and 6, presuumably that is where they will go if that channel is in input monitor mode (can't check at the moment). Is this not the case?
As for your last point, there isn't much you can't do in LP8 that you could do in LP7. If you want to create custom mixer layers, and create your own audio objects etc, you must turn off LP8's auto-management of audio objects, and create your own custom audio layer as per LP7.

Monitoring problem when recording

Greetings. I have a Presonus Firebox which I'm using in conjunction with a 2.0 GHz MacBook with 2 gigs memory and Logic Express. I've run into a problem when attempting to monitor an audio (mic) input. When recording a mono source, I can only hear my signal in one side of my headphones: left if recording into input 1, right if into input 2. This is, needless to say, very disorienting. I don't have the same problem when playing back the track. While I'm currently using Logic Express, I have the same problem using the Firebox in Garageband. I did not have the problem when using Sonar 6 under Bootcamp on the same machine. I've checked all of the settings in Logic and they seem perfectly normal (proper inputs and outputs selected, mono inputs panned center, etc.).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Trent

Hey Trent,
Since your channel strip is in Mono (logic) right?
open you Presonus FireBox Mixer, and zero the
pan (mic1) or Playback to Phones or
the Mix button to phones.
regards,
Jorge

Enable Mic Monitoring ONLY During Recording or Record-Enabled Tra

Is there any way to monitor the mic inputs only when you're recording? I know that you can disable the output of the mic to the speakers (or enable if you want), but is there any way to automatically do this only when you've record-enabled a track in a program such as Sonar or Adobe Audition? Thanks for the feedback!Message Edited by PaneTrez on 06-07-2006 04:03 PM

which card you got ? and are you asking how to eliminate the feedback? well on my cards (x-fi and audigy 2, and li've 5.) i think you can do it with the bundled recorder that you get when you download the drivers from this site. I think creative recorder is the best one. Also creative mediasource should work (if you dont have Creative Recorder) just select recording source (which is your mic) In my opinion it does just as good of job as AA .5 (which I also own and use alot). I also believe I might have seen that option in AA, but it could be risky as it may interfere or conflict with your device. Only on my x-fi card have i noticed that it autmatically mutes the speakers while recording from mic (during Audio Creation Mode---I select Mic and select Monitor on Recording only) . Only other quick fix to it is simply press the mute key or my personal favorite use some earphones (not headphones cuz youll still get a little feedback at high volumes).Message Edited by djbonus on 06-07-2006 08: PM

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.
michael

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

Monitoring audio during recording...

Simple question folks. Is there a way to monitor my audio input from my internal speakers of my laptop while recording? MIDI comes through the speakers fine. When I use the headphone jack from the laptop to my mixer that's fine and I'm sure headphones into my laptop would work fine too, but I want to be at a distance from the laptop and be able to record. I'm using the subouts from my mixer to feed the audio input of the laptop. The headphone jack is not being used in this setup (until I want to monitor over my studio speakers). Maybe I'm missing something obvious. Working with MacBookPro, a Mackie mixer and Garage Band 08. Thanks for your help.

IPhone4s Autofocus problem during recording video.

Hi I'm using iPhone4s with iOS5.1.1.
Well..when I use camera of this device, autofocus works perfectly only when taking photos.
But with recording video, autofocus do not work as I start recording. (actually in video recording mode,it works well until i press the recording button.)
Is this the problem of all iphone4s devices or only with my iphone??
As I wondered that, I called apple support center. But he didn't know well about that issue.
Should I go to apple center to get new one? Or this problem happens to all of iphone4s??

I'm seeing the same thing.

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?

Recording on HD 1TB, Fireface 800

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.

Audigy 2 ZS - How can I turn off record input monitori

Just upgraded from SBLi've value to Audigy 2 ZS and discovered an irritating new "Feature" that was not on the SBLi've.
During recording, any input source is automatically present on the card's outputs. I'm using an external audio mixer and do not need (or want) to hear what I am recording back through the card while I'm recording it. I only need to monitor previously recorded tracks.
I've searched and so far can't find any way of switching this off. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks, Rick

Essex,
Open the Creative Surround Mixer application, look under the recording section and select Analog Mix. Click on red cross on the top and you should have that option.
