Trouble with live monitoring my overdubbs.

im using an 8 track presonus firpod that connects through firwire to my computer (obviously).  Im trying to do a vocal overdub but I cant figure out how to hear the mix while hearing what I am recording at the same time.  I'm ending up having to output the sound through the computer while only having one ear in while I record.  Basically, I can either listen through the headphone jack on the firepod to what I am recording at the moment, or listen to the mix through the computer headphone jack while I record without live reference of what im doing.  Does anyone know how to hear the whioe thing through the firepod?
the only quick fix I can think of right now is using the headphone jack on the computer to route the mix into one chanell on the firepod, while I use another chanell to record my overdub, listening to both of them through the firepod headphone jack, but it doesnt seem like I should have to do this.
Thanks,

The knob on the Firepod marked "Mixer" allows you to control the balance between sound  coming from the computer and your live mic.
For this to work, you need to route the recorded stuff on your computer to the Firepod.  You'll likely do this by routing all the recorded track to the Main Mix in Audition, then, in the Firepod control software, route the Main Mix to where you need it in the Firepod.  Once it's there, use the Mixer knob to set the headphone balance you want.

  • Mountin Lion has trouble with external monitors

    Not so much a question as a shout-out. Since going to Mountain Lion, my pretty new (February this year) MacBook has been having no end of trouble with external monitors. I use it a lot with the clamshell closed with two different external monitors of two different sizes, one at home, one at work. It sometimes thinks the one is the other, or if I unplug the monitor in sleep, when I later open the clamshell, the screen stays black and I have to force a reboot with the power button. Never had these problems with exactly the same set-up in Lion. Sometimes it also refuses to find a connected monitor or projector, I have to pull the dangle and put it in again.

    If memory serves, one of the 'flaws' with BM's hardware is that it will not convert on-the-fly.  So if your sequence doesn't match what the TV is accepting, you get black.
    For example, my TV will not accept 1080p, only 1080i, so working in a 1080p sequence would produce no image for me as the BM will only output exactly what's in the sequence, it can't convert my 1080p/24 sequence into 1080i/30 for output.
    Now I'd expect your TV would have no trouble accepting a 720p signal but, maybe the above data will lead you down a path of investigation.

  • Multiple Instruments with Live Monitoring?

    I am using Logic 9 for live performance + multitrack recording. I have just used a single virtual instrument on its own channel strip; Superior Drummer receiving midi channel 10. I select the channel strip in the Arrange window, with Record enabled, and voila .... live monitoring of the drums.
    But, now I am adding a second virtual instrument on another channels strip; WIVI Band receiving on midi channel 11, 12, and 13.
    The problem is that I am only able to live monitor the output from one of the instrument channel strips at a time (the one that is selected in the Arrange window. How do I live monitor both (multiple) instruments? I want to do this regardless of whether the transport is moving or not....
    Thanks in advance...

    Settings/Recording...
    Enable:  Auto Demix By Channel
    Tracks have to be record enabled otherwise only the selected track will play.
    To add to this... each virtual instrument will need to be on it's own MIDI channel plus your Master keyboard needs to be able to switch output channels to hear each instrument.
    Note: Logic's Settings are on a per song/project basis.
    Logic's Preferences are Global and will not change for each project.

  • Trouble with second monitor display?

    I bought an external monitor for my mbp..
    I do NOT have it on mirror display. However, I have my external monitor as my main monitor, with the dock dragged over to this screen as well. It's connected via HDMI. This is the problem I'm running into:
    When I maximize a screen on the external monitor, it maximizes as it should. When that happens, my mbp screen turns to that thatched-looking grey screen. If I use my gestures on my wireless trackpad to swipe back, the external monitor will go back to it's desktop in order for the mbp screen to have a desktop photo on it. Basically, I can't see two different things at once with having dual monitors.. 
    If I drag something over to my mbp screen, I have to be at the desktop on my external monitor in order to do so, and when I do, the external monitor goes to that thatched-looking grey screen. So again, I really can't look at two things at once when maximizing aplications.
    the only pain in the arse temporary thing I'm doign right now is just draging the margins to fit the dimensions of the screen, and not the 'double arrow' icon in the top right to maximize it.. and try to juggle btwn different windows I open that way.
    Huge pain.. not as efficient and I planned on.. Please help me with this issue!
    Thanks in advance! Jon

    Hi Joe,
    In System Preferences, open the Display settings. Go to arrangement from the top of the little window. You will see the 2 small blue rectangles for your screens. You can arrange them to resemble your screen arrangement to - for example - move the mouse arrow from screen to screen in a straight line.
    And you can also pick up the little white bar on top of the smaller screen and drag it over to the bigger blue rectangle.
    This should move your main screen controls (menu bar and dock) over to the external display.
    Alternatively - connect your external screen. Put your MacBook Pro to sleep. Close the lid and wake it up again. With the lid closed it should recognise the external display as the main screen.
    hope this works for you.
    Stefan.

  • To All IPod Users having Trouble with Live Updating playlists.

    I thought I should share this with other IPod users as there is quite a bit of discussion on the net about it.
    After 3 days trying to get "Smart Playlists"to live update on my IPod touch, reading, researching and reading more, I finally got my Ipod playlist to live update.
    I've discovered that certain rules break live updating.
    OK it is only a basic set of rules, but it is working.
    The 1st thing I did was group all my songs using the "Composer" field. Do not use sorting, it breaks live updating.
    example: All songs were composed by Music, all Soundtracks were composed by Soundtrack. And so on. I did this in ITunes using "Get Info".
    I placed two rules in my playlist:
    Composer is Music
    Last Played is not in the last 6 months.
    I ticked "Live Update"
    Do not use Limit to as this breaks Live Updating as well.
    If your list is in a different order on your IPod then in ITunes just select any other column in ITunes other than the numbered column, e.g. Name. Your list should match now in both ITunes and your IPod.
    Just use shuffle within the playlist to mix things up.
    Once played your track should drop off your playlist.
    Hope this helps.

    I live by my Smart playlist to sort out all my TV shows and Video Podcast but it suddenly stopped updating after I paid $25 for the iTunes Match service.
    It stopped in iTunes. I don't worry to much about my iPhones because I plug them in every day and it will update iTunes.
    If iTunes doesn't work the apple TV, iPads and iPhones don't work.
    Do I need to cancel the iTunes Match service?
    Please someone find a fix.

  • Premiere Pro CS3 having trouble with 24" monitors

    Can anyone tell me anything about using a 1920 X 1200 resolution with CS3 products?  I try to open PPro CS3 on my new 24" monitor and it crashes.  I have a 768Mb Nvidia Graphics card and the latest drivers installed.  I've tried resetting the resolution to 1600 Xx 1200, 1024 X 768, etc... all of them.  Crashes every time.

    Just me today I guess.
    The solution to this problem is simple.  Download and install the latest Adobe PPro CS3 3.2.0 patch.  50 Mb download, 20 second install time.  Everything works great now!

  • Problem with Live Trace?

    Hi,
    I'm having some trouble with Live Trace which I've never encountered before. It could just be my inexperience with Ilustrator, but every time I click Live Trace, the image turns all black. I've tried different presets, and this doesn't change anything. The image I've imported is a Photoshop file so it should work, and has worked before.
    Anybody had this before? Any suggestions?
    Kind Regards,
    Jack

    I'm working through a Classroom in a book in CS4 Illustrator, so the image shouldn't be a problem as its specific for that exercise. The image is a PSD of a snowboarder so unable to upload to the thread.
    Tracing Options: Preset: Default, Mode: Black & White, Threshold: 128, Trace Settings: Fills (though Strokes and Fills or just stokes on preview mode still keep the image black). View: Raster: No Image, Vector: Tracing Result, Path Fitting: 2px, Blur: 0px, Resample: 200px, Corner Angle 20, Minimum Area: 10px.

  • L430 : problem with multi-monitoring (with workstation)

    Hello,
    I have some trouble with multi-monitoring on a L430 setup. I have a workstation with a 20' Samsung connected on it (VGA). Double display runs very well.
    But now that i have decided to put a 3rd monitor, it is a complete mess. I tried to plug the 3rd screen on the DVI port, but now the 2nd screen is black.
    i tried with 2 different monitors, with 1 different cable, i tried to put the 3rd screen directly on the VGA port of the laptop, but i had the same problem.
    I read somewhere that with the L430, one cannot plug a 3rd screen, but i cannot believe it.
    Is it real?

    I would like to be sure of that :/ Working in an IT departement, being able to have only 2 screens because of company limits is strange...

  • Screen trouble with maverick

    Since installing Mavericks I have had trouble with the monitor and/or QuickTime7. Sometimnes a movie goes into a flurry and must a) close the movie and open it again or b) close QT and reopen program. And sometimes the whole screen goes into a flurry and I have to force quit and restart. Thought there was just some update coming soon for the screen and/or fglash/java, but nothing has happened, and this NEVER happened with Mountain Lion…

    Do you have Google Drive installed? If so, remove it. It has been found to cause problems like what you describe in Mavericks.

  • Trouble with color on Presario, No red tones on display. Not a monitor issue.

    Am experiencing trouble with color on Presario, model no. CQ5500F. Purchased a couple of years ago, and trouble was present immediately. Am getting no red tones - red items appear black or sometimes blue. Was told by HP that it was a monitor issue, and let computer slide out of warranty. installed new monitor today and problem still exists. Is this merely a display adjustment of some kind? Or will I have to pay HP their $99 for a one time fix? Any suggestions appreciated.

    Hello UncleBob62,
    It could be the display driver that is not properly working
    1. Click on the start icon
    2. Right click on computer and go to properties
    3. Select Device Manager
    4. Expand display adapters and right click on the video card driver and uninstall
    The computer screen will go blank
    On the keyboard press the windows key the right arrow key twice and then the letter R.
    At this point your computer is going to reboot. After the reboot Windows will install generic drivers for your video card. Do you still see a lack of red tones?
