Use input monitoring on tracks in Logic Pro for iPad
You can turn on input monitoring to hear the output of audio and software instrument tracks that are not enabled for recording. This is useful when you want to set levels or practice a part before you commit to recording it. You can leave input monitoring turned on before, after, and during recording.
On software instrument tracks, you can simply select (focus) the track to hear yourself play. Input monitoring is useful when you want to play multiple tracks simultaneously, or when used in conjunction with MIDI Input and MIDI In Channel settings to play a software instrument with an external MIDI keyboard, sequencer, or other external source independent of which track is focused.
Note: Input monitoring is available only when Software Monitoring is enabled is App Settings > Audio > General. In general, Software Monitoring is enabled when either the audio input or audio output are set to an external rather than an internal source, and disabled when both audio input and output are set to the internal iPad microphone and speakers. See General Audio settings.
Turn on input monitoring for a track
In Logic Pro, show the track controls.
Tap the Input Monitoring button
in the track header.To turn off input monitoring on the track, tap the Input Monitoring button again.
If the Input Monitoring button does not appear in the track headers, customize the track headers so that it is visible.
Input monitoring always involves latency. The amount of latency depends on the hardware you are using to record. In certain cases, input monitoring might make it difficult to obtain the best possible timing. Route the signal you want to record directly to headphones or a monitoring amplifier—and to the audio interface inputs, for recording. You won’t accidentally overdrive your A/D converters because the input level meters display a clipping warning if an overload occurs.
