eezye Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 is there a way to disable input monitoring during playback and automatically enable it during recording on MIDI tracks, like you can for audio tracks? i am recording using an E-drumkit and during punches, i'd like to hear only the previously recorded material up until the punch point. as of right now, i can hear the playback AND monitor the kit at the same time, and its very distracting. thanks!

razor7music Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Are you wanting to layer additional drums over the top of the already recorded MIDI drums? If not, of course you can just delete the recorded MIDI parts that you're punching over, then you won't hear them while you're recording the punch part(s).

razor7music Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I see now. So you want to play during the cue part and not hear the live drums over the recoded drums until the punch-in point, and then you want to just hear the live drum part. Is that right?

RBH Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Male sure your recording is set-up as " Overwrite " mode and not " Sound on Sound ". Hover the mouse over the Record button and a drop down menu will open so you can quickly change methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
