Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Brian,

   I usually use the Motu "Cue Mix" for monitoring with zero latency.   But I think even in Logic 9 if on a channel strip you click the "I" button next to the solo/mute/etc then you will be monitoring the input.

    With cue mix, after wrapping your brain around the signal flow, and set up.  It's pretty easy.  Just control-click (or is it option-click) on the "listen button" in Cue Mix.    

     One thing that I do use that you/others may not, is that I have a digital mixer hooked up as well.   And all my input channels go to a stereo pair on the mixer, and the cue tracks and click go to another stereo pair.  

      But I don't think this will be a problem for you, recording without latency.

      One trick I learned is that it's helpful when you record while monitoring the input.  the track/s can be late within the session, too far to the right as a result.  So what I do, is when I record a vocal, I will clap my hands along with the click track.  Then when I am mixing/editing, it is VERY easy to line up the track with where it ought to be.    This lateness seems to vary based on session, and general CPU load.     So even though you don't hear any latency, the computer prints what would have been latency to the track, if that makes any sense.  

       Pete
