Edirol FA-101 and Logic Pro

Why not use an input track instead?

OOps... Wrong thread: this was intended as a reply to how to record on an audio track thru an aux track - sorry!

The FA-101 has a pretty dumb setup for monitoring and headphones. You could work around it by using a different output pair for your monitors, or getting something like the Samson C-Control to control the level on your monitors.

Seems like its an interface built for PC users and happens to also "work" on a mac, read this article

I imagine a new software update will eventually fix your problem

I think the problem with this device is that the headphone jack only monitors outputs 1 & 2, is that correct?

can you send your main mix to outputs 3 & 4 to your speakers, then set up a headphone mix in logic using Aux channel to send to outputs 1 & 2

then you just have to turn down out 3 & 4 from logic

Am I close?

That's the kind of thing I referred to above as 'use a different output pair for your monitors'.

that's what outputs 3 and 4 are there for. You can't control one stereo output to do two different things at the same time... it says in the edirol manual that the headphone jack outputs the same as output 1 and 2 from the back.
Therefore if you want a separate stereo output pair to connect your speakers to, you must use outputs 3 and 4.

Edirol didn't make the unit for the pc - actually the hardware was designed for the mac (hence it's core audio compatibility out of the box).

Edirol's fa-101 and fa-66 (which I own) are mac product which just happen to work on the pc thanks to the driver they had to write after the fact to support windows xp. Plug the unit into a pc without the driver and nothing happens. plug it into a mac running osx and it's automagically configured for low latency, highest performance, midi and audio in and out.

Have fun owning the best interface you can get for the mac for the money!
