Hi Friends,

I am a newbie with what I hope is an easy question. I'm running an ultralite firewire into my MAC Power PC5.

When I plug in a microphone into the motu I hear it, even without Logic open. When I open Logic and enable record I hear both, so it gives the monitoring a slight chorus. What I'd like to do is to eliminate the first, so that the mic would only be hot only when I am recording a track in Logic. I've done research but have come up with nothing so I come to you good folk.

Any thoughts?

Check out the chapter in the UL manual that explains the CueMix Console app. If you've installed a newer driver version, then you no longer have MOTU CueMix Console. But the CueMix FX app that replaces it works pretty much the same way.

Great, thanks! Give a man a fish, he eats for one day, direct him to the manual, he makes music for months on end. For some reason I didn't think I was working with cuemix on my mac. Now I know better.

You are also probably better off monitoring (if you can) through CueMix instead of through Logic because you will have 0 (or near 0) latency through CueMIx. The chorus sound you are hearing is the time difference between Logic's buffers and a near direct monitoring signal. Your tracks will sound more in time if you play to the direct signal.
