I use the omni studio and put a mic in and choose the input in live. What's the problem?

Oh yes...another menu automatically set to default OFF. If you try to go to input and choose 'live in', it isn't there. You must go to the Audio preferences and actually Tell LIVE that you want to use the input. Why? I have no idea. My current theory is that it's just the German way of doing things.

Hi folks,

the "Monitor through Live" switch in the preferences just decide if the "Live In" signal is hearable or not. Also if this switch is off it's of course possible to record the "Live In".

'Live In' does not become an input option until you go into Audio Preferences and actually tell the program that you'd like to use the 'Built-In Audio'. Before you do that, 'Live In' DOES NOT appear as an option in the 'Input Type' dropdown menu. Of course, nothing tells you in the dropdown that you need to go to Audio Preferences and set the default from OFF to ON.
