No audio playback while recording instrument through interface

Post by nj2000 » Thu Nov 18, 2021 9:44 am

I am trying to record audio from my Korg Volca Beats, but during recording, there is no audio playback. Once I complete recording however, I can go back and listen to it. I'm not sure what is causing there to be no playback during recording though.

My setup for recording this instrument is plugging the Korg Volca Beats through it's headphone jack into the 2nd channel of my Behringer UM2 Audio interface using a 3.5mm to 1/4" cable, with my headphones plugged into the UM2's 1/4" jack. Then the UM2 is plugged into my Macbook via USB. I am using a Macbook Air running Big Sur.

My input and output are both set to the UM2, and I have no problem recording the Korg but there's zero audio playback during recording after the metronome sound.

Does anyone know if this is an issue in Ableton? or is it something to do with the headphone jack of the Korg being used to record into the UM2? :?:
