Monitoring ITB with Outboard

Glamdring · 5th February 2007, 01:04 AM

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking of getting some decent outboard gear to get outside the box. I will be using it for tracking and strapping it across the master. As I understand it, you can do this with the I/O plugin/hardware insert plug inside Logic. There is one thing I don't get. Say I come out of Logic into the Rosetta 800, which then hits my analogue gear, what happens then? I assume I come back into the 800 and then hit record in Logic, right? But is there a way of monitoring the signal coming back in from within Logic? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but this whole outboard/ITB thing is new to me!

I've been doing some searching and reading about latency when using outboard with Logic, but haven't got hold of anything rock solid. Are there still latency issues when combining outboard comps etc. with virtual instruments?

thanks!

When the signal returns to logic from your hardware, first you have to rec enable the tracks, you should see the signal on the meters, if it´s no sound check the outputs choosen, if everything seems allright but still no sound, check the "software monitoring on" check box in preferences.

Its also possible to monitor signals without recenable by making a new audio object in the enviroment and choose input, the object now looks like a normal fader where you can decide on source/destination like a normal mixer fader.
