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

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?

Here's what I did to get it to work on a MacBook Air M1 and a Mac Mini M2 Pro. Both with different audio interfaces.

1. Save your Key Assignments.
   1. Option + K
   2. Under the Key Command Assignments Dropdown Menu click Save As and name your Key Command Assignments Profile and click save
2. Reset Logic Pro
   1. Logic Pro Dropdown>Settings>Reset All Settings Except Key Assignments
   2. Click Initialize
   3. Click "Simplified Mode" in the upper right corner
   4. Click Enable Complete Features in the Settings popup window
   5. Close the Settings popup window
3. Quit Logic and Restart Your Computer
4. Open Logic Session
5. Make sure Auto Input Monitoring and Software Monitoring are ON and the Channel Record Enable is ON and the Input Monitoring Button is OFF.
6. Quick Punch-in Works again.

Did this work for you?

You may read my suggested solutions from another thread Logic Pro X (11.1.1) not working with Ste… - Apple Community and see if they help:

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 cannot be intended, can it? I'm surprised the extensive testing with real users did not catch this.

I really contacted support for my audio interface thinking that was it. turns out you guys have the problem too. the update is great but this is such a heavy loss. recording is much more of a hassle. Please fix Apple

experiencing the same problem. this really messes up work flow. PLEASE FIX apple

Not only did this update NOT fix the issue, it made it worse!! Now **ALL** the tracks with input monitoring do not play. I thought I was going extra crazy.

This is turning into a joke now.

This is a pretty annoying bug/undocumented feature. I kept wondering why the bass on my track suddenly disappeared.

This is exactly why people like me are VERY hesitant to install updates - it breaks our workflows, and makes the ecosystem unreliable at worst, and time-consuming and frustrating at best.

Pretty soon I'll start submitting invoices for time lost every time an update breaks my workflow.

Yep. I am going crazy. This is legit such a bad update. I am going through every single setting trying to figure this out. I am really trying to figure out how to work around this without having to turn off "Input Monitoring" every single time, But this is just straight up ruining the flow that was easily attainable for being able to hear your audio before this update. I haven't recorded in quite awhile so I genuinely thought it was me before seeing that other people are having the same exact little ANNOYING issue. Please fix it Apple, its terrible and pointless.

Same issue. Just reported bug to Apple. Link for those who would like to do the same:

Logic update 11.1.2 fixes the Auto Input Monitoring bug

Don't forget to backup Logic.

It's super lame, any luck?

Just duplicate your track without the input monitoring on, and as soon as you finish recording move it to that track and listen to it there. Thats the easiest solution for me

Can we get this fixed?

I submitted a bug report. I suggest everyone else do the same, otherwise they will never address it.
