Wrapping your head around the track monitoring in Logic – practical demonstration

Honestly, it’s a mindbend sometimes to understand why we hear things that we don’t want to hear, isn’t hearing what we do want to hear, and understanding how to control this behaviour makes for frustration free sessions. So let’s hear how it changes with the settings. It’s easy once grasping what Logic does.

Information:

Preferences I change:
Open the Logic preferences with Cmd + , (comma)
Go to toolbar, select “audio”
Exit the toolbar, now choose the “General” tab.
Navigate past the “Software monitoring” checkbox.
The checkbox of interest is called, “GarageBand requires the Input Monitoring button to be on, and the track to be either focused or record enabled.
It also says, “Input monitoring only for the focused track, and only when input monitoring is enabled (as in GarageBand)”
What confused me to start with was the simple wordiness of that checkbox and I’m wondering why it’s relevant to mention Garageband. Ever. 🙂

things to note:

There is some serious latency in this tutorial and it can be distracting. I will at some point redo it and clean up my rambling. Time permitting, that is.

Punching in with voiceover in Apple Logic Pro

Let’s be honest, we all make mistakes. and rerecording an entire track that sounds great but for that pesky sour note or bad pronounciation can be such a bother. So let’s just punch it in. It’s easy.

Information:

Shortcuts I use are:
“Set punch in locator by playhead”
“Set punch out locator by playhead”
“Toggle auto punch mode on/off”

things to note:

My settings are:
Track toolbar >No overlapp.
The track has no take folder at the start of this tutorial.
These options may not change anything, but it is worth noting. I’m demonstrating a simple punch in and do not consider possible complications.

If you have more information about the punching in process, please comment on this page.

Using the Automation event list with voiceover in Apple Logic Pro

Information:

Automation event list opens with Cmd + Ctrl + E.
The list shows only events that are currently on the selected track. If the shortcut Cmd + Ctrl + E does not work, it is most likely because the currently selected track does not contain any automation points.
If you have more information about the event list, please comment on this page.
