haubanhof Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 At the moment I am sending a stem to a hardware compressor, and printing it on a new track. My goal is to be able to hear the tweaked stem as I am printing it in real time. How do I set this up? The screenshot shows how it currently is routed, but when done like this I am mostly hearing the original track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Where is Output 3 routed to? How does the audio come back into Logic Pro? You should be able to monitor the input you're recording just like you're monitoring any recording you're doing in Logic, however your original stem should not be routed to the Stereo Out (if you don't want ot hear the unprocessed signal). Or better yet, use the I/O plug-in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the original stem's output is set to "No output" everything is dead silent; no volume dancing on the original stem's level meter. When using the I/O plugin (set to output 3, input 1) on the original stem track, everything is also dead silent. Any clue what might be happening here?

You'd need to R-enable I-enable the "coloured stem" channel strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attached a clip to show what I am seeing if that helps. The audio that appears at the end of the clip is actually just feedback from tweaking a hardware knob. logic1.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Apparently there's signal on the meters when you press stop? Is something else connected into input 1? What audio interface? Is there a mic/line selector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing connected physically to input 1 is a cable from monitor out (output 3) on the audio interface. Audio interface: Neve 88M. There is a mic/line selector, and it is set to line.

David Nahmani Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Are you sure monitor out is Output 3? Isn't it output 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked perfectly when switching to output 1. But, it also worked when using output 2 in the I/O-plugin. So it seems it doesn't matter if I use output 1 or 2 in the I/O-plugin, even though the cable is connected from monitor out R (either output 1 or 2). Is this correct behaviour? Is there anywhere I can look up what output monitor out R is for this particular audio interface in Logic, or on the mac? Btw - output 3 will also print stuff into the coloured stem track - but only when the original stem has "Stereo out", even when the cable goes from "monitor out R" on the audio interface.

David Nahmani Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 On all interfaces, by default, output 1 is the Left channel and output 2 is the Right channel. Is there a software for your interface, that allows you to remap input and output channels? Are you still routing something to Stereo Out?
