Both / either...

I'm getting it on parameters I never used to get it for - this is portamento (cc 5) but it never used to behave that way for cc5, I could draw it however I wanted it to. It does work as (I) intended for cc 74 though for example yes.. odd that it's changed between versions though.

Hi all I never used to have this issue so I don't know if something has changed in the latest version (which I'm on), but whenever I try to draw automation in the automation lane for MIDI ccs (see attached image) instead of adding a node and allowing you to drag / move that as you would with a volume node in the main arrange window (and have the line interpolated for you as you do), now it just adds a square step-style jump which can't be amended to be a line between two points, it's always just a hard jump between values. The only way I can find around this is to hand draw the automation holding alt and command - that's a bit imprecise though and makes it harder to move the whole thing as a block. Am I going mad? I swear it didn't use to default to this behaviour but I can't find an option of where to change default shapes. Thanks John it

Thanks all - glad to know I'm not going mad.

Yep I double checked that, it only starts double monitoring when the situation I described happens - otherwise it'd be triple monitoring!

That is... really, really weird. How on earth would that happen?!

It should be the same - I had to recreate it as I accidentally didn't save it first time around but besides the name of BOUNCED MASTER being the other way around it looks identical at my end to the screenshot (here's a screenshot of how the mixer looks here)

Let me know if this doesn't work please - cheers Weird monitoring.logicx.zip

Sorry, which one - the one confirming that it was record-armed? Yes it was, just not illuminated at the time of the screenshot.

That's correct yes (however it doesn't matter which output I send it to - I still hear it)

Ok - here you go. It's both muted and turned all the way down, and I can still hear it.

Here's another illustration of the same problem - normally when I finish a mix I bounce it back into Logic through some analogue outboard. I've set that up here on the MASTER BOUNCE track. When it's record armed, it meters - great - but it doesn't monitor it - also great, because if it did, I'd get horrendous feedback. That's how I expect software monitoring being turned off to work. For some reason though I can hear the Bounced synth track when record armed, but not the MASTER BOUNCE track when record armed. There must be a fault with how the signal is passed along within Logic.

Here you go then - I've recreated the basic problem in a new project. If I disarm Bounced synth I stop hearing it twice. I've turned software monitoring on and off just to see if it makes any difference - it doesn't.

Can you see signal on the meters in the Mixer? If you can, take a screenshot and attach it here. I can - on the track that's record armed, and on the original software instrument track, and on the bus that I'm feeding the software instrument track (which is set to no output). To check I'm definitely hearing the record armed track, I changed the output to another one from my Apollo - on my main outputs I can now see that it is definitely sending to that output, ie what I'm hearing is, for definite, the record armed audio track rather than something else that's routed weirdly somewhere. Obviously if I had software monitoring enabled I'd expect to see something like this behaviour, but I definitely wouldn't for a normal record-armed audio track when software monitoring is turned off. (and sorry but the tracks are miles apart on the mixer and I'm not sure what you'd be able to see of any use on a screenshot...)

Ok, so now another channel is taking the feed of the instrument (when rec enabled, and thus monitor it's input to the mix), and sending it to the mix (so we have two copies of the signal going to the main mix). It seems to be doing that - but why? I have software monitoring turned off. When I record arm something normally it doesn't get sent to the main mix and I wouldn't expect it to unless I had software monitoring turned on. That's basically the whole issue, why is the second one sending to the mix? I don't want it to.
