Mic Audio Fades In and Out While Recording

Greetings.

Last night, while attempting to record some vocals, I came across a problem which I've never encountered before. At random, the audio (both through the monitor and the recorded audio) has, at random, started fading out, and back in. This is not a result of automation or me moving too far from the mic. I've also tried increasing and decreasing the buffer size, and nothing happened. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I'm fairly new to Logic so maybe I'm missing something entirely. How can I fix this problem?

Hello.

I suggest to double check about the presence of any automation. Both track and region automation maybe present. Do you see faders moving in the mixer while recording?

By random, do you mean it doesn't happen at the same place while recording? Does it happen in a new fresh project?

Also give us more details about your setup. Like OS and Logic versions, your audio interface, any midi device connected, plugins...? This will help us to figure out what could be the problem.

Hey thanks for the reply!

I've tampered with it more, and I think it's actually just a faulty mic cable. I tried recording vocals on a different interface and it was doing the same thing (unless I fumbled with the cable a bit). Glad it's not a fault of Logic.
