General Audio settings in Logic Pro for iPad
Software Monitoring: Tap to turn software monitoring on or off. It is automatically turned off to avoid feedback when you use the internal microphone together with the internal speakers on your iPad.
When software monitoring is on, you can monitor the incoming audio signal through any effects that are inserted on that track, and a certain amount of audible delay (commonly referred to as latency) is inevitable. If you’re listening to the recorded signal through your mixing console or your audio interface that supports hardware monitoring, you can turn this option off.
The following happens when software monitoring is turned off:
The Input Monitoring buttons (with the “I” icon) in the track headers and channel strips are not displayed.
The Input Monitoring switch in the Customize Track Header dialog is not available.
Auto Freeze: When Auto Freeze is on, Logic Pro automatically freezes a track if the iPad can’t process all audio in time. This could happen when a project has many channel strips with processor-intensive plug-ins. Auto Freeze also unfreezes frozen tracks when a track is being edited.
Low Latency Monitoring Mode switch and Limit: When you tap the switch to turn on Low Latency Monitoring mode, the Limit field appears below it, determining the maximum amount of allowable latency (delay) caused by a plug-in. Low Latency Monitoring mode bypasses latency-inducing plug-ins that would surpass that limit to ensure that all delays (across the entire signal flow of the current track) remain under the Limit value. This is useful when you want to play a software instrument with several latency-inducing plug-ins inserted in the channel strip. Low Latency Monitoring mode is automatically turned off when you close a project. See Record with Low Latency Monitoring mode .
Tip: Low Latency Monitoring mode can also be turned on and off with the Low Latency Monitoring Mode button
in the control bar. See Customize the control bar.
