Vocal Overdub Snapshot Template

This Snapshot Template is conceived for an overdubbing recording session. At this stage in the recording process, a recording

project is typically full of tracks and plugins which may require your I/O Buffer to be set to a large size. Because software input

monitoring with such a large buffer would result in too much latency, this snapshot is designed for Direct Monitoring a single

input, but using Element Control’s FX Send to apply your DAW’s reverb to the Low Latency (Direct Monitoring) mixer inputs.

Notice that in this Snapshot Template:

- The Mixer 1 and FX Send are both displayed

- The Outputs are set to “Mix 1” for direct monitoring

- There is a single analog input channel active, and two playback

input channels active.

Here’s how this is set up using Logic Pro X:

1. In Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio > General, uncheck the

boxes for “Software Monitoring” and “Input monitoring only for

focused track, and record-enabled tracks”

2. Create an Audio track. Set the input to Analog 1.

Note: For the purposes of this guide, having the

Mixer visible will make things easier. To do this:

● Go to the View Menu > Show Mixer.
