Using the Direct Monitor Snapshot Template with your Recording Program
1. Setup an audio track in Logic.
- Make sure input monitoring on that track is turned off because you are direct monitoring through Element
Control instead.
2. Record to that track.
3. Setup a second audio track in Logic that also has input monitoring turned off.
4. Record the second track. You will be able to hear the first track as you record.
5. Adjust the Mixer 1 channel faders to control the volume of direct input you are recording vs playback of already
existing recording playing back from Logic.
The signal flow would look like this:
1. Input signal from Analog 1 is sent to both Logic and the Mixer 1
2. In Logic, the signal is routed to an Audio track for recording. Input Monitoring on this track is off.
3. Playback from Logic is sent to Element Control’s Playback 1-2 Input Channel.
4. Both the direct signal from Analog 1 Input channel, and Playback 1-2 Input Channel are mixed together to the Mixer 1
Master.
5. Mixer 1 feeds the Main and Headphones outputs.
This same Snapshot Template can be used in other recording programs like Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton Live, etc. by using
the same principles shown in this example.
