My DUDE!!!, it took me a good little minute to find the right "wording" for my problem. You solved it in the shortest quickest way possible. THANK YOU for that & I subbed because of it.

Awesome, you saved me hours of shaking my head, trying to get my replacement Mac Mini functioning for a session coming up and never had to change these settings before. Thanks John Mike you're a lifesaver! Subscribed!

Thank you so much for this!!!! It randomly shut off for me and had been driving me crazy for weeks while trying to practice string parts. Keep up the great work!

[Ichaboddddd]

Out of all these YouTube videos, this is the one that actually helped me. Thanks so much!

[MisterSweetProductions]

You are literally the ONLY resource online that has provided his answer! Thank you so much!

This post is still helping Logic users (or at least newbies like me) in 2022. I reinitialized Logic and couldn't hear any of my plugins. I checked Input Monitoring and Low Latency Mode settings, but overlooked Software Monitoring (thinking it was the same as Input Monitoring). Your video got my issue sorted quickly. Many, many thanks!!!

[photoshopcafe]

Finally! So many YouTube vides showing basic sound setup, you actually fixed the issue! Thank you

[jeanbaptisegrenouille]

This issue was driving me insane, thanks for sharing man... you just won a new subscriber!!

Thank you so much for making a quick and concise video. I hate sifting through a 15 minute video trying find an answer. Subscribed.

Man, you're the man. Every time something goes wrong. I can rely on you to either remind me or help me fix the problem.

This is the second time this video has set me straight, the first time being about a year ago (and I forgot from that first time what the solution was.) I had reset my Preferences to the defaults and those two checkboxes Auto Input Monitoring, and Software Monitoring got eliminated from the Control Bar and Display. It was the Software Monitoring that allowed me to hear my guitar whether in Record mode or not (and, yes, the I button next to the R button in the channel strip was turned on.)  

Before using this solution, when I tried to record everthing worked (I was recording OK), but I couldn't hear it until playback, not while recording. Thanks again, Mr. Mike!

This was absolutely driving me crazy! Even 5 years later this video saved me! Thank you so much.

[BasselMusic]

Thank you John Mike - it's hard to find resources that concisely and directly explain issues like this, and this was video was spot on! Made my day!

[kilgoretrout]

Thank God i found you! i've been away from my studio awhile...i was hearing all my mics thru my cans while playing acoustic, but zero playback. i was losing my mind with forgetfulness, and you saved me.


Thank You, and Stay Healthy,

Bro thank you so much for just answering the question and not doing a long 'what's up guys...' two minutes later here's the info you need. Subscribed.

[Ghostfeeder]

Incredible that I can google a problem and immediately get an answer to my question that solves it exactly in 30 seconds. You’re a hero.

[Flashjort]

Like a lot of other comments here: I've been searching my ass off for this issue. Logic's help forum only giving answers as if we're idiots: "make sure the I button is on" or "check your audio input settings" Thanks a lot🙏for this quick and clear solution

[espedale]

You totally solved it! Thank you, John! Why Logic does not have this set up as the default is beyond me. But that doesn't change the fact that YOU ROCK!

[christopherhammell]

Dude, you just saved me hours of frustration in trying to fix this issue. Thank god you were the first video up.
