charmingnerd Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I have a track with some guitar recorded on to it. I am using effects plugins. I have the track record enabled. When I am playing the track back - not recording - and I play my guitar, my effects are not being used. When I record, it works fine. When the track is not record enabled, it works fine. If I am rehearsing a part, I don't like to have to toggle record enable to off in order to hear my guitar on playback. Is this normal behavior?

David Nahmani Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Sounds to me like you're monitoring your guitar twice. Once outside of Logic (hard to say how unless you give more details regarding your setup) and once inside of Logic. Inside of Logic, you need to turn off Options > Audio > Auto-Input Monitoring.

charmingnerd Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 I am not doing any direct monitoring on my input device. I can see why that was misleading because I said ..."my effects are not being used.". What I mean is, I don't hear anything. So I have input monitoring and record enabled buttons activated. I hit play and I can hear what I already recorded on that track being processed my my guitar effects. But, I can't hear my self when I play my guitar in this state. If i hit stop, I can hear myself playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Take a look at "Auto Input Monitoring". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Did you try my suggestion? Inside of Logic, you need to turn off Options > Audio > Auto-Input Monitoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmingnerd Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Yep, that works. Thanks. I guess the default is useful if you in a control room scenario and you didn't want to here the musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Actually Auto-Input Monitoring is the most used option (which is why it's the default) as it allows you to hear the transitions exactly as they'll sound in the final result: you hear the recorded signal until you punch in and after you punch out. You only hear yourself while you are recording yourself. That's the way tape machines always worked and in most situations, what makes the most sense in the studio.
