Can't Hear Track & Have Input Monitoring Enabled Anymore? [Logic Pro 11.1 Update]

Hi all,


After updating Logic Pro to 11.1, I can no longer hear my vocal track after recording, unless I turn off the input monitoring button [I]. I guess this was supposed to be intentional per the change notes of Logic Pro (see attached screenshot), but it is really messing with me, and I don't know what to change in my settings to enable playback of the audio track while input monitoring is enabled.

A workaround is to just disable input monitoring whenever I want to hear my vocal track, I guess, but doing this after every take is tediously horrible. Not to mention that it also takes time to go back and forth, and this adds up.


Does anyone know what the change notes refer to when they say "...unless the Input Monitoring button for the track is also enabled"? I would really love to enable whatever setting this is to go back to how things were.


MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.1

I am experiencing this as well and it's extremely frustrating. Not only is recording a hassle, but even after I unplugged my microphone and headphones I can't even hear what I just recorded. How is anyone supposed to get any work done like this?

Danke schoen! It is very buried.


Just to clarify (because the German version/translation might be different), right click on the empty part of the header, select Customize Control Bar Display and then make sure "Auto Input Monitoring" is CHECKED.


Then a new button titled "AUTO" will appear in the header, and make sure to turn that OFF, as it appears in this screenshot.


All credit to albatros_pb for figuring this out!

Maybe i am the only one who never used and never needed Input Monitoring.


Just try my settings, if they also don't work then send a new bug report:


TLDR:

• Check your Mac's Mic Mode, it has to be set to Standard

de-activate (!) Input Monitoring

• uncheck in Logic's top bar menu Record > Auto Input Monitoring

Now you should hear the input like expected as soon as Record is armed.

This update has made it even worse. Disregarding recording issues, now I can't even hear the track that I am trying to mix. How am I supposed to click the plug in on the track I want and work on it if I can't even hear it?? Im baffled by the level of non-efficiency that has become Logic Pro. Whoever is coming up with these ideas and whoever is giving the go ahead need to be fired. They clearly don't use the product they are working for/selling. At this point, you might as well use garage band or get a cracked FL because this is ridiculous. Im past frustrated now and someone competent and knowledgeable and experienced needs to handle this at apple or logic or wherever for the love of God
