Please help - Audio interface/mixer/Logic 4 ipad
I'm just seeking some advice. What I'm I doing wrong?
See video below. I can't seem to figure out how to record into Logic whilst monitoring the mix. I've got audio from iPad going into 2 track/tape input of mixer. Control Room out from mixer is going straight to speakers and main out from mixer is going into the audio interface.
**I want to be able to hear the whole mix (iPad audio and hardware synth) whilst just recording the hardware synth. **On the mixer I've got 2 track/tape to Control Room selected in the hope that this'll just route the iPad audio straight to the speakers and not the main mix (so that this won't be recorded). Doing this, however, just cuts the hardware synth out completely. Hitting the 2 track/tape to mix button adds the hardware synth to the mix again but when record audio it's through the iPad's microphone! (See vid).
The only way I've been able to capture the hardware synth is by monitoring the mix through the iPad's internal speakers with the synth coming out of the main speakers and recording just fine.

I can’t see your whole mixer, but since you have the main output going into your interface and have the iPad output playing into your mixer, it is going to get recorded along with your synth.
Your best option is to plug your synth directly into the interface, then the interface output going into your mixer for monitoring. You’d have to monitor your synth through logic then. Or, you can split your synth output (with a DI or something like that), and plug the 1/4” out into your mixer and the xlr out into the interface.
Your board should only be acting as a monitoring board in this situation, let your interface take care of recording inputs. That mixer isn’t going to make any input sound better, so bypassing it for your recording chain is a good idea. The mixer is fine, but it’s not adding anything to your signal that you’ll miss.
If you have to go through the board the way you are, then your best bet is to send the synth channel out an aux out and plug that into your interface. I didn’t see if that model of mixer has an aux out- some do and some don’t. I’d do it the first way I suggested though.
Ok thank you for taking the time. I just assumed that the mixer could handle monitoring the iPad's audio and simultaneously recording the synth's audio. Oh well.
I'll try your 1st suggestion. Cheers 🍻
You’re winning, glad it was a help. If it had direct outs on the channels then it could, but that one doesn’t. If you like the analog mixer as interface idea, something like the soundcraft signature mtk mixers would be up your alley.
