Cannot monitor plugins while recording (solved)

[pepelepew]

...specifically, I'm attempting to monitor the sounds from guitar rig 3 while recording. I'm using a firepod as my interface and logic pro 8. Software monitoring is on.

 

With the firepod you have a mix knob to listen to just the direct sound, just the sound through logic, or a mix of anywhere in between. I can hear the direct sounds fine but when I set it to monitor through logic there is no sound. The plug-in is always there on playback though...just can't monitor it while recording.

 

I've been searching for an answer for awhile but can't figure it out. Any insight is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Switch on Software Monitoring in Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio > Core Audio

It's on. The issue lies somewhere else.

Where is the volume slider sitting on that tracks channel strip?

I changed my mind on the problem. Plug in or no plug in, I just can't monitor audio unless I'm recording or playback is stopped.

 

In other words, I'd like to be able to play along with the track and fiddle around with a guitar line or whatever to work out a part while the track is playing. I have the track record enabled, and software monitoring on. I'll toggle the input button on and off but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

 

AND.... in the middle of writing this post I solved my own problem. So for anyone else who needs it.

 

In order to play along with a track input monitoring needs to be on AND the record enable button needs to be off. Booya
