Can't Hear Track & Have Input Monitoring Enabled Anymore? [Logic Pro 11.1 Update]

Hi all,

After updating Logic Pro to 11.1, I can no longer hear my vocal track after recording, unless I turn off the input monitoring button [I]. I guess this was supposed to be intentional per the change notes of Logic Pro (see attached screenshot), but it is really messing with me, and I don't know what to change in my settings to enable playback of the audio track while input monitoring is enabled.

Changenotes link: Logic Pro for Mac release notes - Apple Support

A workaround is to just disable input monitoring whenever I want to hear my vocal track, I guess, but doing this after every take is tediously horrible. Not to mention that it also takes time to go back and forth, and this adds up.

Does anyone know what the change notes refer to when they say "...unless the Input Monitoring button for the track is also enabled"? I would really love to enable whatever setting this is to go back to how things were.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.1

Danke schoen! It is very buried.

Just to clarify (because the German version/translation might be different), right click on the empty part of the header, select Customize Control Bar Display and then make sure "Auto Input Monitoring" is CHECKED.

Then a new button titled "AUTO" will appear in the header, and make sure to turn that OFF, as it appears in this screenshot.

All credit to albatros_pb for figuring this out!

Yep. I am going crazy. This is legit such a bad update. I am going through every single setting trying to figure this out. I am really trying to figure out how to work around this without having to turn off "Input Monitoring" every single time, But this is just straight up ruining the flow that was easily attainable for being able to hear your audio before this update. I haven't recorded in quite awhile so I genuinely thought it was me before seeing that other people are having the same exact little ANNOYING issue. Please fix it Apple, its terrible and pointless.

This update has made it even worse. Disregarding recording issues, now I can't even hear the track that I am trying to mix. How am I supposed to click the plug in on the track I want and work on it if I can't even hear it?? Im baffled by the level of non-efficiency that has become Logic Pro. Whoever is coming up with these ideas and whoever is giving the go ahead need to be fired. They clearly don't use the product they are working for/selling. At this point, you might as well use garage band or get a cracked FL because this is ridiculous. Im past frustrated now and someone competent and knowledgeable and experienced needs to handle this at apple or logic or wherever for the love of God

I take it back. It is NOT fixed. The playback is fixed, but then when input monitoring is selected on all tracks, and if you have an instrument plugged in (like a guitar), it will play through ALL The channels with input monitoring selected instead of just the selected one like it used to be.

It's super lame, any luck?

This cannot be intended, can it? I'm surprised the extensive testing with real users did not catch this.

Can we get this fixed?

Jan 7, 2025 6:07 PM in response to yoyoBen

Not only did this update NOT fix the issue, it made it worse!! Now **ALL** the tracks with input monitoring do not play. I thought I was going extra crazy.

This is turning into a joke now.

It does NOT fix it, at least on my Mac. Sorry.
