Beat is being recorded within mic audio channel

Post by RSPBeatzzz » Sat Sep 11, 2021 9:30 am

So, i am pulling my hair out at the moment. Most probably it is something simple but i cant figure it out. Iam trying to explain my problem as best as i can.

Here is my problem:

Whenever iam trying to record on my audio channel, the audio from my other channels are recorded also on the channel. Meaning, that i always get the beat and the recording in one audio channel. I want to split these two in order to get only the mic recording in one channel. Steps that i take:

I create a audio track

I select "Ext. in" in the input dropdown

I choose "In" in the monitor field

I select "Sends only" in the Ext. dropdown

In the screenshot you see that on channel 13 i recorded but i didnt say anything into the mic, but the beat has been recorded (you can see the audio waveform) on that channel. I only want the mic signal recorded on this channel, which in this case should be a flatline because iam not speaking active into the mic.

I think it has something to do that master channel is sending to 1/2 and the audio track to 1?? I dont know.

What i want:

I want to record only the signal from the mic on one channel but i want to hear the beat through the headphones.

Setup:

I have a USB mackie Pro6 (see screenshot), i have my mic plugged in with XLR cable in channel 1 on the Mackie. I have a beyerdynamic DT770 pro plugged in the "Phones" channel on the Mackie. I have the mackie connected via USB.

Monitors are connected through XLR outs on the mackie.

Ableton settings:

Input set to "Line (ProFX) DX".

Output set to "ProFX 3-4(ProFX) DX.
