I hear nothing at all coming from the headphone/monitors. I'm assuming this is because I turned off hardware mixing in the FocusRite. Before I made that it change it was much, much worse. I'm not trying to chase down the little bit that is left that is bother my vocalist. Turning on Low Latency Mode - even with zero plug-ins - seems to tame it a bit. Is that normal, or are my ears tricking me just because it sounds different? Thanks! mt

Thank you to everyone who took the time to reply so quickly. "Robotic" is the only word I can think of without hearing samples of other sounds, but it's definitely not distorting or clipping. I'm experimenting with the setup in that link. But I'm curious: So sending all signals to/from the DAW you'll always end up with an audible delay? Thank you so much! V

Greetings Logicians! I've been recording my fiancée/vocalist over backing tracks for about a year now, and I have minor issue that I'd really like to track down. She prefers to hear herself with a little bit of reverb while she records with the backing track playing. The end result is a very clean recording with lots of headroom, thanks to all of the advice from this site. Unfortunately, she usually complains that the sound of her voice in the headphones has a robotic sound to it. We've managed to minimize it a number of ways, and we still get great results, but I'd really like to see if I can solve this once and for awhile. Some related info: AI is a FocusRite 6i6 'Puter is a 6-core Trash Can Microphone is Rode NT-1 I/O Buffer is 32 Turning off all filters doesn't help It happens with all Sample Rates & Bit Depths Project layout is an audio backing track and a track for the mix. It used to be much worse until I realized the FocusRite was doing internal mixing in addition to DAW in/outputs. Now all in/outs go through the DAW. Any ideas on what I could be? The issue can also be replicated with simply starting a new project and arming the mic and saying Hello. Best Regards, V

These are all great suggestions, thank you very much for taking the time to reply. V

Hey all! I apologize if this is an obvious question, I'm only part-way through the book and various video tutorials and too impatient to wait to make stuff. I'm recording a vocal demo of The Rose for my fiancée , and I have a good-enough MIDI file of the piano track that I've cleaned up, humanized, etc. The only thing left is I need to smoothly adjust the velocity at various points in the song to be both truer to the original, and get the best performance out of my vocalist. I know how to do this via MIDI transform and/or MIDI automation, but I'd like to do it on the fly while we record using a midi knob on my Launchkey Mini. Is this possible? Maybe via the Environment? Thanks! V

Hi David, thank you for the quick reply. I apologize if I stepped on any toes with my question. I'm actually about a third of way through your book via my Safari Books Online subscription, which is how I found this site when I googled your name . I want to approach it both ways since I tend to learn different elements better on each platform. Thanks! V

Hi All! You don't me, but I've reading all of your post obsessively for a couple months. My fiancée and I are dedicating our free time to learning music production and I'm currently focussed on a deep dive into Logic Pro. We don't have any expectations other than to enjoy the journey. Luckily, I've been a programmer for 20+ years, so a lot of elements of music and Logic Pro are very logical. But I don't want to pretend I know something I don't, so I want to cut my teeth with one of the 15 hour courses on Udemy. Has anyone take one or both of them, or can vouch for or against the teachers of the two main courses? The price is the same (cheap... too cheap?), but 15 hours of my time is valuable, so any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! V
