Direct monitoring of vocals in headphones while recording.?

[donegaljoe]

Hi there Folks,

A totally novice question yet again, oh I know I need to take time to read the manual and so on, but just want to do very basic stuff.

I have an old m audio  fast  pro usb interface, gets sound from a mic into Cakewalk fine, and I have a number of band in a box wav tracks that I have imported, play fine also.

So just one question when I record the vocals and want to hear them in the mix through the headphones from the fast track pro, what do I need to click on the Cakewalk GUI to bring this about?

Many Thanks yet again for any help.

Joe

The Input Echo button in the track you're recording to.

Or alternatively you could adjust the 'mix' knob on your m-audio to find a suitable balance between the playback tracks and your mic input in the  headphones.

Thanks guys.
