Recording Audio...Can't hear over other tracks when recording!!

Hello again and thanks for the help. So why, when I'm recording audio, a guitar for example, is the signal so low I can barely hear it above the other tracks. Then, all of a sudden, when I play back what I recorded it almost knocks me back off my seat it's so loud. How do I turn up a track i'm recording enabled track so that I can hear better what's being recorded? This is a problem I've run into myself and when I'm recording others, like a vocalist. I need some way to turn up a "cue" send level even if it's coming out the same monitors that the rest of the mix/track/song is.
Any tips would be much appreciated. THANKS AGAIN

I understand that this is directly related to my monitoring capability but am assuming there's some way, INSIDE of Logic, that this level adjustment can be made. Why, when recording, can you barely hear a signal and then when a track is automatically set to 0.0 dB it is much much louder. Why the difference.
I, too, have a MOTU 828mkII. Admittedly not as good with it as I should be, I need to work more with my monitor mix but this situation seems to often be used to dodge my real question ^ up above. Any tips or tricks are much appreciated so that's cool, but see if you can at least shed some light on what I'm confused about up there^^^^^^
I DO NOT want to use headphones to record this guitar. Feels more natural for me to record directly into Input 1 of the 828 and hear all the tracks coming out of my monitor while I'm recording the guitar over it. Again, why so quiet when recording and why, then, so loud when no level adjustments have been made when playing back the audio. Again, no level adjustments made on anything and all of a sudden the most recently recording track is louder relative to all others
thanks

  • No sound in headphones.  Can't hear other tracks when recording.  Need help

    I just got Logic. I have a M-Audio Blackbox for my guitar, and a Midi-Uno for my keyboard.
    I have play and record and hear my guitar. But when recording, it doesn't play the other tracks, so I can't play along with them.
    Also, there is a problem in hearing the sound out of the output, whether it be headphones or the built-in speakers. No sound comes out, even though in the system pref. I hear the beeping to test the output.
    This is very annoying because these seem like elementary things that should work but they aren't.

    I'm just using built-in audio. I make sure the output in the system prefs is headphones, but then in the software I hear nothing when I play the audio. Maybe I have to check the master audio level.
    Thanks for the word about it not being anything too crazy. It can be frustrating when the software doesn't seem to do something basic. I'll look at the master levels during playback.

  • Can barely hear the other person when talking on the phone

    when using the phone function i can barely hear the other person on the line.. the speker volume is at the max.

    remove the thin plastic cover, its not the protective kind its a shipping one. It is covering you ear piece.

  • Can't hear the other person when I am talking

    WHen I am using Skype or FaceTime on my iPad, I can only hear the other party speak if I am silent on my end.  I have to keep asking them to repeat because I can see their mouth moving but I can't hear them. In other words, the sound only works one way at a time.  Is this normal, or is there a settings change that make so that sound works both ways at the same time?  Is it a hardware or a software limitation?

    I've got that problem too sometimes. I think it's a mistake in iOS and it will be fixed in another iOS-update

  • Can bearly hear the other person when I make a call...

    When I make a call from my iPhone the other
    end is very faint. I'm sure theres some wicked
    simple solution on like the settings or something
    but I can't find it! Any suggestions?

    the other person can hear you fine, but you can't hear them?
    the simplest thing is the volume rocker on the side, while you are on a call make sure your volume is adjusted all the way up.. after that make sure you don't have the plastic covering the speaker
    after those try a soft reset by holding the home button and the sleep/wake button until you see the apple logo, if that doesn't work try a restore from itunes.. if you are still having the problem after that it is time to call apple 1-800-myiphone

    I Am able to connect to them but all I hear is a crackling static sound. My iPad is unmuted and the volume is turned up, I am pretty sure it's not my Internet connection because I have never had a laggy connection. Any help would be appreciated.

    The other person could have dust in their Mic hole. Use a vacuum to remove the dust.

  • I can't hear the narration track over the audio, what do I do? And where is the "audio mixer"?

    Just downloaded Premiere Elements 12 and lost my favorite audio music (wish I could bring it over from 11 somehow), so I drug a new clip in the audio track and now I can't hear my narration track. Also, can you pull up projects made in 11 with Premiere 12? Should I delete 11 off my computer? Also, where is the audio mixer?

    The Audio Mixer is under the Tools menu in Expert view or under the Tools drop-down menu at the top of the interface.

    Hear your microphone or instrument as you play and record (monitoring)
    You can hear, or monitor, input from an instrument or microphone in GarageBand while you play and record. When you turn on monitoring for a track, you hear the musical instrument or microphone connected to the track’s input. Monitoring lets you hear yourself play so that you can hear the part you want to record as well as the rest of the project.
    You can turn on monitoring for a Real Instrument track or Electric Guitartrack from the track’s header, or in the Track Info pane. Electric Guitar tracks always show their monitoring buttons, and you can show monitoring buttons for Real Instrument tracks using a menu command. You can use monitoring with feedback protection to avoid feedback while you play.
    Hide
    To turn on monitoring in the track header:
    Choose Track > “Show Monitoring for Real Instrument Tracks.”Monitor buttons appear in the headers of Real Instrument tracks. On tracks with monitoring turned on, the button lights yellow.
    Click the Monitor button in the header of the track you want to use.
    HideTo turn on monitoring in the Track Info pane:
    Double-click the header of the Real Instrument or Electric Guitar track you want to turn on monitoring for.The Track Info pane opens.
    From the Monitor pop-up menu, choose one of the following:
    Choose Off to turn off monitoring. You can hear your instrument only while you record.
    Choose On to turn on monitoring and protect against feedback.
    Choose On (no feedback protection) to turn on monitoring without feedback protection. If the input level is too high, it may cause feedback (especially if you are using a microphone and listening to your project through your computer speakers).
    For an Electric Guitar track, you can view the Monitor pop-up menu by clicking Edit, and then clicking the back side of the amp. The Monitor pop-up menu appears with the input controls below the stage.
    You should usually turn off monitoring when you are not playing or singing. When monitoring is turned on, your computer can pick up output from your speakers or monitors, causing unwanted feedback. Using headphones rather than speakers to listen to your projects can help eliminate feedback.
    If you select your computer’s built-in microphone as the audio input, in the Audio/MIDI pane of GarageBand preferences, monitoring is turned off for all Electric Guitar tracks to avoid unwanted noise.

    Hello, A user has problem with Skype. She can't hear the other side anymore. It has always worked and now it doesn't work anymore. Reinstalled skype latest version and installed latest audio driver.  Still no audio. We can hear the startup sound of Skype but when I do an echo test we can't hear anything. If I look at the audio mixer I see that there is audio with the audio bar but hear nothing. Windows audio is working normaly. Is this a known issue? John
