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

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!

unchecking the Auto Input Monitoring solved the problem for me. Thanks to yoyoBen

Go to to Header Menu -> Recording -> Uncheck Auto-Inputmonitoring (german: Auto-Eingangsmonitoring)

That finally solved the problem for me.

Here's what I did to get it to work on a MacBook Air M1 and a Mac Mini M2 Pro. Both with different audio interfaces.

1. Save your Key Assignments.
   1. Option + K
   2. Under the Key Command Assignments Dropdown Menu click Save As and name your Key Command Assignments Profile and click save
2. Reset Logic Pro
   1. Logic Pro Dropdown>Settings>Reset All Settings Except Key Assignments
   2. Click Initialize
   3. Click "Simplified Mode" in the upper right corner
   4. Click Enable Complete Features in the Settings popup window
   5. Close the Settings popup window
3. Quit Logic and Restart Your Computer
4. Open Logic Session
5. Make sure Auto Input Monitoring and Software Monitoring are ON and the Channel Record Enable is ON and the Input Monitoring Button is OFF.
6. Quick Punch-in Works again.

Did this work for you?

Just duplicate your track without the input monitoring on, and as soon as you finish recording move it to that track and listen to it there. Thats the easiest solution for me

You may read my suggested solutions from another thread Logic Pro X (11.1.1) not working with Ste… - Apple Community and see if they help:

TLDR:

• Check your Mac's Mic Mode, it has to be set to Standard

• de-activate (!) Input Monitoring

• uncheck in Logic's top bar menu Record > Auto Input Monitoring

Now you should hear the input like expected as soon as Record is armed.

Maybe i am the only one who never used and never needed Input Monitoring.

Just try my settings, if they also don't work then send a new bug report:

I submitted a bug report. I suggest everyone else do the same, otherwise they will never address it.

Same issue. Just reported bug to Apple. Link for those who would like to do the same:

Apple Logic Pro Feedback

What albatros_pb said - either switch off Auto Input Monitoring in the pulldown menu (I find it under the metronome symbol 'control bar and display settings', or turn it off in the header menu.

I am experiencing this as well and it's extremely frustrating. Not only is recording a hassle, but even after I unplugged my microphone and headphones I can't even hear what I just recorded. How is anyone supposed to get any work done like this?

I really contacted support for my audio interface thinking that was it. turns out you guys have the problem too. the update is great but this is such a heavy loss. recording is much more of a hassle. Please fix Apple

This is a pretty annoying bug/undocumented feature. I kept wondering why the bass on my track suddenly disappeared.

This is exactly why people like me are VERY hesitant to install updates - it breaks our workflows, and makes the ecosystem unreliable at worst, and time-consuming and frustrating at best.

Pretty soon I'll start submitting invoices for time lost every time an update breaks my workflow.
