Thanks! I don't know where I assumed to use Autopunch with Cycle. I'll get there...

Still getting up to speed with Logic & having fun but I was able to create takes before but now I cannot. It loops (cycles) but just monitors the original take. I tried a new track, restarting Logic, opening a new project, all with the same result. Any suggestions? thanks! Greg

I'm an admitted amateur attempting to resume using Logic X. In the past I've posted issues here with my Lexicon i-onix u42s interface with Logic 8, but up until a couple weeks ago all was working well with Logic X. But the monitor issues resumed & Lexicon support confirmed its a hardware issue with the USB. The u42s is old & has been discontinued with the latest driver working with El Capitan but Lexicon has an updated i-o 42 version with a Sierra driver. Any opinions about Lexicon, their new i-o 42 series or recommended USB MIDI interface? I like some of the features of the i-o 42 with 4 inputs, but any suggestions are welcome. Thanks! Greg

I've been learning Pro X just using the mic input on my Lexicon I-onix u42s interface (using the latest El Capitan driver v3.3.3). So far so good there. But I've just connected my older Korg O1w/fd to use as a midi controller (local midi: OFF). As a new Software Instrument (default Classic Electric Piano) Logic reads the Korg midi signal but I can't monitor the audio with either the headphone out, or monitor output of the interface. With the Korg local midi: ON, I can monitor the its own program from the headphone out or monitor output as well as see it on the VU meters of the interface. I only want to use the Korg as a controller. What am I missing??? thanks in advance! Greg

First off, thanks for the help! Sorry I wasn't clear about the problem(s) but I was trying to be concise. I'm trying to use the old Korg as a MIDI controller & use the sound files in Logic. The Audio MIDI Setup is seeing my Korg correctly. But in a new Logic project, when I tried to trigger a Logic sound file, I'd hear both the Korg sound (clearly) and the Logic file (crackling) on the headphones out of the interface. In Mr. Nahmani's sound & MIDI troubleshooting section of his book suggested bypassing the interface by going into Logic Prefs, disabling the interface & using Built-in Audio. Then triggering a sound file from Logic Library, I still heard the crackling Logic file thru the headphones (in the interface). I feared the interface was failing. But just now, when trying it again there is NO crackling! Intermittent interface problem or worn connector? I don't know. Now I'm just back to my MIDI hell problem. When I record a MIDI bass track (Logic file) I'm hearing both the bass sound and the Korg sound in headphones, but only the bass track on playback. Any suggestions on that area? Thanks again for any help with this!

Hi all, I'm a novice, returning to trying to get my rig set up after a couple years, using dated Logic 8 with an older Korg 01W/FD and a Lexicon I-ONIX U42s interface. I'm having some MIDI issues with using the Korg as a controller. In troubleshooting that, I disabled the Lexicon in the Core Audio device prefs, trying just the Built-In Input. Then using the Korg, trying to trigger the loops in the Library, I'm hearing nasty scratching static on these loop sounds (in addition to the Korg patch & seeing those on the meters on the U42s) on my headphones out of the U42s, but not on my monitors. I'm fearful my interface is the issue & would appreciate any ideas or help on this or the MIDI. Would upgrading to Logic X be the solution? I'm trying to keep my budget under control as this is just a hobby. Thanks much in advance!
