Logic 9.1.7 32 No audio playback before count in.

[Woodzy87]

Hi Everyone,

 

Just a quick issue I seem to be having with Logic,

 

Background

 

Ive been using logic for about 4 years, use it professionally and for personal use I have alot of experience with the DAW and feel that this is not a knowledge issue (I hope )

 

issue

I have always had a setup where by if I record a guitar track and am not happy with the take from a certain point I could drop the the marker where i wanted to record, hear a count in of one (or more bars on preference) and play. The thing is I could HEAR THE AUDIO ON THE TRACK BEFORE it started to record on the point where I chose.

 

now for some unexplainable reason I need to use the autopunch feature. Now I am well aware of that feature and dont mind if I HAVE to use it but its frustrating that it just stopped working- whats worse is that people were saying on the apple support site that it never was a feature and that Autopunch was always necessary. can you guys please tell me if I was always working with a bug or if there is a way to fix this so that autopunch is not required and a simple click of record will let me hear the playback before recording.

 

 

Thanks!!

 

Dave.

You can never hear the existing audio on a track that you're recording on without using Autopunch.

So maybe you were using Autopunch before without knowing, because otherwise it's impossible in Logic and most DAWs.

Hey,

 

Thanks for your response- in telling you 150% sure I wasn't!! I only learnt the shortcut for auto punch yesterday out of necessity!! I've had 100's of clients in and never used it. It's truly bizarre as other sites have said the same as yourself!! I actually think it may have been a "good bug" as it only happened after my upgrade to mountain lion that it stopped- oh well auto punch it is!! BTW thr is a feature that should absolutely be in there then!?!

Dave your not wrong, I recently upgraded to Logic X, Im having exactly the same problem as you. Can only get autopunch to work when I set the markers, I used to be able to select the end of the track where I wanted to punch in, have a one bar count in and away I went. This is a pro tools feature AND WAS a logic one.

 

Im thinking its a bug.

It's working as expected here: I can hear the previously recorded audio on the track during the count-in. Make sure you select BOTH:

 

Record > ✓ Allow Quick Punch-In

Record > ✓ Auto Input Monitoring

Both seleted but still having problems with no audio playback, it works when I set the markers but not when I ask for a count-in. Any ideas?
