Big thanks for the video. I actually encountered the last one. I received signal on my guitar plugged into an Audio interface although I couldn't hear myself. What worked for me was switching the input to my default laptop microphone then switching it back the my audio interface and voila, I could hear myself. I think it's because I had configured my guitar audio track before plugging it, the track needed a little reset.

This was a fantastic video addressed a variety of potential problems

thank you so much! you really helped me a lot! i have two headphone inputs in my scarlett 18i8 interface and i couldn´t hear my lapel mic (but i did hear my guitar) - then i changed to the second headphone output ( is it an output?) and i could hear my voice and the guitar!!! finally!!

Ah that was super helpful — the Software Monitoring had been unchecked (no idea why, the irony of these random things with a software called Logic) and I would never have figured that out on my own. Thanks George, I've subscribed.

Thanks for this, Georges, it gave me a lot of ideas. I personally found I had the entire multi track song set to -4.00% SLOW and pushing the whole thing back up to "0" fixed the problem. Now, I would like periodically to slow down a song to put a lead guitar into, I have done it before but can't remember?

Thanks for the video. I only watched the first 0:52 seconds and fixed my audio.

[arashiangel]

Thank you so much! This was the only video that helped me get my mic sound back!!

[sayoojsgarage]

[Latchy]

You just saved my session bro thanks! : )

Gaaaahhh! Thank you for helping me with something that was limitlessly frustrating.

Hi George, thank you for this. Please could you advise me on a recurrent confusion I have? Basically I sometimes have difficulty getting a good guitar sound with certain amp sims (Amplitude mainly). I'm exploring various variables - but one that I don't fully understand is the role of direct monitoring vs monitoring via Logic. Well that's not quite right, I understand what they are (as in your vid) and I can turn the monitoring on/off in logic (& therefore get an unprocessed signal only). But I'm not sure how to turn of the direct signal ... so suspect I'm getting both signals in my monitors & hence compromising the sound. I'm using a Focusrite 4 pre interface. If I turn of monitoring in the focusrite control software, I just get silence. Please can you help?

Hey I still can’t hear myself nor can I record when I try to mic check there is no audio wave coming out and I can’t hear myself in the headphones when I tryin to mic check. I have a song I was working on nd I wanna contworkin on it but nothing seems to work. I have Apollo twin and logic for the software. Please I need help.

[emonkalyan]

The guitar signal is not working at all.... i have tried everything.. my audio interface is is getting signal from guitar but no signal in logic

[JeffSwopeMusic]

Having serious issues all of a sudden -- I can hear my voice but when I mic the guitars with the same microphone, it's not picking them up. I've always used this mic for both, and now I can't hear the guitar. None of my settings changed. What gives?

[zaytheboyy]

My issue is I already laid vocals, but I can’t hear them when I play the song back. Last night it was working fine and now none of my projects have vocals I can hear even tho the tracks are there. The output was not changed. How can I fix this?

[uprisingparindey]

I tried all things but my signal is not showing in logic for vocal recording but something deeps signal up don't know what is there any default reset settings for logic

[danielapop]

Random question, but it would mean a lot if you could help. My microphone isn't registering high and even medium to high notes on Logic Pro. I tried using a different mic and a different software (Garage band) but it's still not working. My microphone is only capturing low and medium registers. Any idea why that could be?

[ethanlong]

Im not getting any signal form my guitar, like no green bars into logic, I have no idea what the issue is, inputs are good, preferences, input monitoring, all of it, but it still won't work, but its not hardware issues cause I can still hear it from my headphones if they're plugged right into the interface. Can someone please help?

[emily-janeherbert]

I have done all of these and I still can't hear myself. I have tried recording an audio track with an external microphone but when I try to play it back it doesn't play. I also can't hear myself when I am checking the microphone

[SilerParrish]

I was recording earlier today and everything was okay and working properly. But then when I try to record tonight I can hear myself fine when I’m not recording. But as soon as I try to play a track to sing along with and record I can no longer hear myself. Why is that?
