SargamStudio Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Dear all, I have switched from Sonar (windows based) to Logic Pro-X. Apart from small others, I am facing a problem with quick punch recording. It loses sound initially for a split second and throws off the singer and the recordist. Is there a solution to it, please? Any help in the matter will be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help in the matter will be greatly appreciated. Make sure that: 1. In your top menu, you select Record > Allow Quick Punch-in. 2. The track is R-enabled before you press Play.

mikerolls Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 You also need to enable 'Auto Input Monitoring' in the Record menu it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 You also need to enable 'Auto Input Monitoring' in the Record menu it seems. That depends entirely on your monitoring preference. Auto Input Monitoring ensures that you cannot hear your live input while Logic is in Play mode, so if that's your preferences, then select Auto Input Monitoring.

SargamStudio Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 When in the playback mode, I press "R" to re-record a phrase, the sound disappears for a fraction of time. That throws off the singer and me as a recordist. Can you please provide any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargamStudio Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 I enabled input monitoring but does the same thing. Desperately need help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargamStudio Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 1. In your top menu, you select Record > Allow Quick Punch-in.2. The track is R-enabled before you press Play. All above is in place, but as soon as I press "R" the sound disappears for a second. Very annoying in the recording process. Please help.

triplets Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Are you recording to the computer or an external hard drive? If the latter, how is that drive formatted? Logic does NOT like ExFat or Fat32 drives, it can corrupt files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargamStudio Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 Dear David, I am relatively new to Logic Pro X. Been using Sonar and band lab (Windows-based) in the past. I am facing a problem with quick punch recording. It loses sound initially for a split second and throws off the singer and the recordist. Is there a solution to it, please? Any help in the matter will be greatly appreciated. 1. In your top menu, you select Record > Allow Quick Punch-in.2. The track is R-enabled before you press Play.

David Nahmani Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Ok let's troubleshoot this further. What happens if you click the Record button in the Control bar instead of pressing R? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polanoid Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 1. In your top menu, you select Record > Allow Quick Punch-in.2. The track is R-enabled before you press Play. All above is in place, but as soon as I press "R" the sound disappears for a second. Very annoying in the recording process. Please help. You need to make sure you *manually* record enable the track before you start recording. Using the automatic rec-enabling that happens for the focused track when you start recording is not sufficient in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargamStudio Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 Yes, all in place, it records but initial second the sound disappears. However, I just noticed, when I set a record punch region, then it records the region with no problem. Just while playing the record enabled and with input monitoring on, the sound disappears for a little time fraction. But by that time, it is enough to throw off the singer.

David Nahmani Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 One more test: try a new empty Logic project, only one or two tracks, not a single plug-in in the Mixer. Also what is your buffer size, in Logic's audio preferences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polanoid Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Yes, all in place, it records but initial second the sound disappears. That is exactly what happens if you do *not* manually record enable the track (i.e., click on the "R" button in the track header so it becomes a white R with red background instead of a red R on grey background).

David Nahmani Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Indeed, make sure that when Logic is stopped (the playhead not moving), you click the R button so that it flashes in red, like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I record enable. That means my "R" is Red. So now my project is playing, and the right time I hit "r", It starts recording but with a slight pause in the very beginning. Any idea why?

Jonas Fonn Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 My two cents; I had a similar issue with a minor glitch in the audio whenever I punched in or out from a recording. To my surprise what seemed to solve it was that if I started the recording by pressing play and then punch in to record directly afterwards there would be no issue. But if I started the recording by pressing R and later wanted to punch in or out, I'd experience the glitch. Not sure why there was a difference. For "everyone" else it works fine either way?
