Getting rid of dry vocals during recording

I just bought the Antares autotune evo and have been playing around recoding with it. The problem I'm having is that during recording I am hearing the dry vocal track along with the effect, it's very distracting not hearing just the effect on the vocals. Does anyone know how I can set the track to only hear the effect without the dry vocals?

Macbook Pro, iMac G4, Dual 1.8GHZ Mac G5 (Running As A Server), Mac OS X (10.5.6)

You don't really give much information, but if you are using an audio interface, it could be that you have direct monitoring enabled, where as well as sending the signal to Logic, the interface is also sending the incoming input signal directly through it's own mixer to it's outputs, hence you also hear the dry signal.

Sorry, I should have been more specific about my gear in the post. I am using an m audio projectmix i/o for my audio interface. I didn't think of checking the settings for my interface, I will take a look at that. Are there any settings in logic that might enable input monitoring? If so I'd like to make sure I do not have that enabled.

Thanks for the quick reply, it is appreciated.

Audio tracks can be record enabled (red button) or input monitored (yellow button).

It is possible to have audio input objects in the environment feeding to the mix, but unless you've done that manually it's unlikely.

It's most likely the routing on your interface, and not a Logic-related problem, I would guess.
