logic pro x

I open logic pro x, I've got a scarlett focusrite with a rode nt1a mic plugged into input 1. In logic I've got the track set on input 1 aswell so they match up. My voice is not being picked up by the input meters down the bottom I've tried everything. I have tried turning software monitoring on and off this does not work. I've gone into the scarlett app and tried everything in there on my mac.

This issue only happens in logic pro x and does not happen in garage band. Garage band works perfectly fine. so I'm assuming the issue is within the logic DAW.

This screenshot shows that even while I am talking into the mic with 48v turned on it does not show up with any input at all whether 48v is turned on or off neither works.

It is not clear to me what the problem is here, because I see an overload of the selected track.

Uncheck Record > Audio Input Monitoring
Then click the red "R" button on the audio track you like to record. You should see the meters moving. If not, verify the audio settings in Logic. Your soundcard should be selected: Preferences > Audio > Input Device (and Output Device)

Some other things:

• Your Master Fader should ALWAYS be set to 0 dB. Unfortunately, the Volumefader (= Master Volume) in the Control Bar is visible by default. This Fader is not a Monitorfader but has impact on your recordings aswell. You can change this by CONTROL-Click into the Control Bar > Cutomize Control Bar and Display > uncheck Master Volume.

• Are you aware that you have selected a stereo input on your track (In 1-2) instead of a mono input (Input1). You can change this by clicking on the Channel Mode icon (the two circles) in the channel strip.

• Are you aware that your output is routed to bus 1, where your disabled send is also routed? The output should be Stereo Out.
