Before recording audio in Logic Pro for iPad
In Logic Pro for iPad, you can record vocals, an acoustic instrument, or any other sound using your iPad’s built-in microphone or a microphone connected to your iPad, either directly or via an audio interface. You record sound from a microphone to an audio track.
Before you start recording audio, do the following:
Check hardware connections and settings, making sure that any sound source you plan to use in your session—microphone, guitar, or keyboard, for example—is connected to the audio input of your device and is working. You should also check hardware settings such as the system memory requirement and storage space.
Choose an audio device, which is necessary if you are using an audio interface connected to your iPad.
Add an audio track, which is used to record a voice, an acoustic instrument, or any other audio signal, and set the audio input and channel format in the Fader.
Set the metronome, which plays a steady beat so that you can play and record in time and hear a count-in before recording starts.
Set up input monitoring, which allows you to hear the output of audio tracks that are not enabled for recording, if desired. Many audio interfaces offer a direct or hardware monitoring option, which sends the audio signal being recorded to a monitor output before the signal is sent to Logic Pro. If your interface offers direct monitoring, you should use it, and only use input monitoring if you want to hear effects on a channel strip before recording.
Set the track volume level, which controls the playback level, not the recording level.
Tune any instruments that are connected to your system to ensure that your external instrument recordings are in tune with any software instruments, samples, or existing recordings in your project. You can access the Tuner using the Tuner button in the control bar. For details about the Tuner plug-in, see Use Tuner utility and plug-in.
