Monitoring Sound Out While Recording

Does anyone know what would be the correct settings in Logic Pro for monitoring the sound output while recording a guitar? In Garage Band, all you have to do is turn on monitoring and you can hear the throughput. I used to be able to do it in an old version (4.8) of Logic. Since I upgraded to Logic 7, I have not been able to hear the "real time" guitar while I record. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (By the way, I am using an iMic to connect to the USB input . I'm using a G5 (2.7ghz dual proc) PowerMac.

Mark - Thanks for your reply. Yes, I've tried experimenting with that all night long. I can see that it affects the output meter in the track mixer, but still no sound. When I select the iMic input , the sound does not route through to the physical line out on the G5. I can open up Garage Band and then go back to Logic and then hear the output. The problem with this setup is then after I record a track, you can't hear the output of what you just recorded without first going in and selecting the "built-in audio" setting of the audio options (changing from the iMic setting). I never had this problem with the ancient version (4.8) of Logic I used on my old iBook.
Thanks again for your reply.

Sound crackling while recording (X-FI TITANIUM)

Hi. I previously posted a problem with sound recording with the X-Fi Titanium (PCI, non-Fatalty)? on this forum. I thought the problem was fixed, but in reality it was just not noticeable. Now that I am trying to record in-game footage, it's nearly unbearable. Every few seconds, a crackle or pop sound of varying volume and length comes into the recording. There's no problem with the output of the card whatsoever; in fact, when I'm recording the in-game audio, I don't hear a thing as it occurs. It's only during playback that this happens. What could be causing this problem? I'm up to date on all drivers, I think (6.0..347, according to my Control Panel)
I'm running Windows XP 32-bit on a P5E motherboard with an X38 chipset, an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 at 2.67 GHz with 2 GB of ram, and an nVidia 250 GTS. I am not overclocking, and I am running on default fan speeds. I've heard of crackling and popping problems on 64-bit operating systems, but never on 32. I've run out of things to try, so I am now turning to the community to help. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I just remembered that I have an onboard soundcard on my motherboard that was deactivated when I installed the new one into my computer. Could that be causing the problem?
EDIT 2: I wanted to clarify one thing. The crackling sound is loud, but it lasts from a second to three seconds then goes away for fi've seconds or so, and then comes back. It isn't constant or muted - it even goes louder than the volume by which I'm currently recording. I've never read about this problem, and every other topic seems to refer to a constant crackling.
EDIT 3: I used Audacity to record an example of the problem I'm getting. I don't hear any of this when I play the song; only when I listen to it back. It's the Prelude from the Final Fantasy series (pardon the nerdiness). It skips to halfway through about fi've seconds in to get to a louder part, to better demonstrate the problem. And no, you aren't getting Skype messages, I was just receiving them while recording "What U Hear" with Audacity. I hope this hel

Adding "sound drops" while recording my podcast

Hello! I am recording a podcast using Audition CS6, and I want to basically play sound drops during the show. How do I do this? Is there something within Audition that will add sound during a recording, or do I use another program to accomplish that?
Thanks for any help.

By "sound drops" do you mean things like sound effects and musical stings? If so, Audition is primarily a post production tool so it'd be dead easy to do this while editing and mixing but not really possible live within Audition. I know there are specific podcasting tools that allow this but it's not something I do so I can't recommend any.
....or, a trick I've used quite often, there are various programmes that allow you to instant random playback from either another computer or from a smart phone. If your audio interface can handle this, do it like this works very well and makes you feel almost like a broadcast studio.

Monitoring Preview 'roll' While Recording

I've upgraded from LE8 and have obviously not set-0up Logic 8 properly for record.
While overdubbing sections of guitar I havea 2 bar count-in and want to hear the 2 bars previously before I drop in. I had this working in Express but somehow have lost the ability to do this. I must have checked/unchecked something. Any ideas.
Thanks

Guitar cuts out while recording

Hi All,
I'm using Garageband and the Griffin guitar connect cable and when I try to record my guitar, the recording cuts out after a few bars. Useful stuff:
-original iPad and fully up to date iOS.
-cut out is random, though the most I've been able to record is 6 bars.
-when not recording, the audio is fine
-tried restarting my iPad - no difference.
Any help is much appreciated.

There is an improvement if you leave the amp setting alone when you start, turn of monitoring and the noise gate. About 3 times out of 4 I can record 8 full bars this way. I haven't tried recording any longer passages yet. Not really a solution, but slightly better. . . .

Monitor blacks out while using

I have a Norwood Micro flat screen monitor. I have had recent problems with it going black while working. If I turn off the monitor and then turn it back on it works fine for awhile and then I continue this little game with the monitor throughout. Needless to say it is annoying. Other times it works fine without any issues. Does anyone know if this is a problem with the monitor or the computer? Is there some way I can check it?

Why does Audition temporarily "cut-out" while recording?

I have a Bought and paid for registered version of AA3. When recording a voice over through my mixer everything works fine, but when recording for an extended period of time 5+ mins, the audio has dropouts. (Complete silence staggered, flange like effect, ect.) I have changed my sample rate to 512 samples on my "Direct sound input ports" in the AUDIO HARDWARE MANAGER, per adobe support faqs. My short term recording works fine still but my long term has not got much better at all. Before this change it was somewhat of a flangy sound as compared to the current "cut-out" i now get. My inputs are all set properly, i have a laptop exceptionally qualified for the program. I need to record multiple tracks for an extended period of time, 1-3 hrs. of a live recorded podast. So far I've had to do my vocal copy on my laptop seperately and edit it in after the fact. My musical set has o be recorded on another comp with AA2 on it. 3 should not give me hese kind of problems and I would really like to hav them taken care of due to the price of the program. I am running vista 64bit with sp2, md turion x dual-core mobile rm-72 2.10 Ghz, with 3G of ram. PLEASE HELP!!! I need this machine to work for recording demos and such, this is for a starting out company and I need a solution.

Hi Durin,
Thanks for your quick reply. I am recording voice recordings from an audio cassette deck connected to ch1 and ch2 of the Konnekt 24D interface. I have only tried in Edit view with no effects as there is no mixing to be done at this time. I've tried at 44.1Hz and 48kHz.
Last night I did one more test in Audition, setting the buffer to its maximum size of 8192 samples, and in the morning found my 20 minute test had no drop-outs.
But your email made me realize that some of my tests yesterday were invalid because, after shutting down all the Startup programs in msconfig, I also did some troubleshooting of my laptop workstation power management settings and may not have set them back to "Never" kick in. So this morning I did a 48 minute test in Audition and got no dropouts. This tells me that the problem was actually resolved by my efforts to eliminate the resident programs. Thus, it has nothing to do with Audition. I was so tired after trying so many things, that I probably would never have realized were it not for your guidance, so - thank you.
I guess I will leave the buffer large since latency is not an issue for me.
As a suggestion - since this is such a common problem, why not have a troubleshooting checklist just for drop-outs, in the online help, user guide and knowledge base?

Cracks and Pops noises coming out while recording on garageband using Boss gt-10

Hi
since I downloaded the new Garageband v.10 (Oct. 2013) and OS X Mavericks i have a problem now recording my guitar thro garageband using the boss GT-10, during recording, the sound comes out some Pops and Cracks.
i did turn off the noise sound and i been setting up in a clean sound.
does anyone else have this issue? does anyone know how to fix

i figured out that i need a new usb driver for my gt 10, it hasn't been released yet, and i'm not sure it will remove the noises that will resolve my problem, let's hope so, i've been waiting for the driver for a week. it's taking long!

it should have GT-10 USB Driver v1.0 for Mac OS 10.9

Monitor my voice my while recording vocals?

I have icore5,8gb ram and my Rode nta1 mic which is pluged into profire610 that goes to my pc with 6pin buswire and headphones comes out from my pc realtak jack.Now the problem is that I can't monitor my voice while recording vocals.I have done Edit>Pre>Audio Hardware and set the device class to ASIO and device it shows M-Audio ProFire ASIO.and select Release ASIO driver in background.It records everything and play.But while im recording I can't hear my voice in headphones.Still if I choose MME from Audio Hardware and go to Multitrack window click R and "I" then I can hear everything in headphones but then again I can't record using MME.Please help me out im going crazy here

Is there any reason not to just use one of the two headphone jacks on the front of the Profire 610? That's what they're there for.
Trying to use the in built Realtek piece of rubbish at the same time as the Profire is frought with difficulties since the Profire works best with ASIO drivers whereas the Realtek is an MME device. Even if you could get it working, I suspect that latency might make the monitoring less than ideal.
Edited to add: you MIGHT be able to get it working the way you want if you download ASIO4ALL from http://www.asio4all.com/
I have no way of trying this and still think using the Profire headphone outs would be a far better solution...but if you have to use the Realtek for some reason, give ASIO4ALL a try.

Echo while recording

im having a problem with recording vocals.i am using LE8 with a m-audio mobile pre usb interface.when i enable the record ready button and record the vocals it sounds like im in the middle of a cave,nuthin but echo.during playback the audio sounds normal.hopefully somebody can help me sort out this issue im having.i dont think its a software malfunction,its probably me causing this.

I am using the r button on the track for record.I have a closet in my room that has been turned into a booth.speakers are out side the booth in the room.I always monitor using headphones while recording vocals and always turn my speakers off during this process.I am aware of the feedback issue with using the mic and speakers in the same area.i have also tryed to mute sound.If i am in the booth with headpones on and speak into the mic it sounds like i am 100 ft away from the mic.ive also tryed putting the mic in a completly different room 40 feet from the monitoring area.guitar center recommended that i buy another preface but i dont see this being the problem.i want to try to fix it the best i can without purchasing more equiptment.thanx again for all the assistance.it is much appreciated

HELP!! No sound while recording thrugh M-Audio firewire 410

I am using Logic express 7 with an M-Audio firewire 410. I have my guitar plugged into the mbox and Logic is picking up the signal from my guitar, but I cannot monitor the sound while recording OR hear anything else at all. When I unplug the mbox, however, I can hear everything that i just recorded along with everything else in the song fine. I just need some help figuring out how to monitor the sound, PLEASE!!!!

Logic always uses the same audio interface for input AND output, so I suppose your problem is that you do not have any speakers connected to you M-Audio interface. Try adding a pair of speakers to it. If there's still no sound, go to Logic's audio settings and see if "software monitoring" is active or not.

Toshiba nb505 dual monitor & line out sound

Hi all, I've gotten a toshiba recently. Everything is working perfectly right out of the box--except the dual monitor setup (w/ a maxent moniter as the secondary).
The maxent works fine w/ other laptops, so that item is not the problem. It has to be the toshiba. When the toshiba starts up, the images like the toshiba logo and very initial windows splash will show up. But then it stops, and the maxent just goes back to its blue screen. In addition, the line out sound will only play right speaker sound (on the maxent and other devices) . . . but w/ headphones it is fine.
Please advise on any suggestions. Drivers are all up-to-date and windows updates are good, so I'm really lost.
This should be basic, so it's pretty disappointing this isn't working. Thank you!
system info:
toshiba nb505-508BL
OS Windows 7 Home Premium, 32 bit

update:
sound line out: Apparently the speaker on that maxent monitor flat out just doesn't work anymore--no matter what input. And I suppose my hearing is such that it may well have been like that for a while, as it's unlikely the toshiba just happened to blow out that speaker these few recent times I hooked it up to the maxent (as there was no such indication, like a pop or the like).
dual monitor: Testing w/ other monitors successfully, this seems to be more a compatibility issue w/ the Maxent itself (though there may be other monitors it won't work w/, too). So I mostly wanted to put this out there still if wide compatibility w/ dual/external monitors is something that others are considering this sys. for, too. . . .
Otherwise, the netbook is working fine, and I have no other complaints--though I found this dual monitor issue rather disappointing (still I feel it's quite possible that a RAM upgrade may resolve this, since others have cited that upgrade as rather essential for getting the most out of this little sys., but I haven't tried that yet).

How do I monitor my 'line-in' recording with my Sound Blaster USB Mp3

I'm recording tracts of my band from a MD via line in. How do I monitor what's being recorded (in real time)?
Sound Blaster USB Mp3+
Thanks,
Mike

my problem seems similar to prior post.
I have attached Creative USB Sound Blaser MP3+ a.k.a. SB0270 to a Compaq Presario 700 lap top computer via its USB .0 port. I'm running WinXP Home with SR-2 update.
I have found that I CAN record audio using Creative's Wave Studio by first selecting "Line-In" in Microsoft's "Volume Control" software Options/Properties/Recording. "Line-In" then appears as the label on the record level control in Creative's Wave Studio. This was not the intuiti've choice as music fed in through a USB port supposedly uses the SPDIF (Sony Phillips Digital Interface Format). Selecting the SPDIF in Microsoft's "volume control" doesn't work.
However, although I can record the audio, I can not find any way to monitor the level of the audio while recording. When recording using Creative's Wave Studio, an indicator (lower left of screen) shows it is in the recording mode, but the level indicator is a straight line at zero / baseline. Furthermore, the input signal can not of been too small to be seen, because the graph shows nearly full modulation on playback.
How does one monitor the recording level while recording?

No sound while recording or viewing satalite

;( could someone please explain to me why i have no sound while recording or playing back recorded tv.i have g4 mx440 video card and tuner card.i'm not sure if i am hooking up connections properly in back of comp.need help.thank you ?(

In order to hear sound as you record, you either need to use direct monitoring on your interface (ie, route it's inputs directly to its output), or turn Software Monitoring ON in Logic (Logic -> Preferences -> Audio Hardware & Drivers) - this lets you hear your inputs while recording.

I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?... or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?
