So I'm trying to use Logic Express 8 with an Apogee Duet to DI record a Guitar to start my project, but even though (I believe) that I have the settings right, I'm not hearing my guitar through my monitor (headphones). All my cables work and are connected in what should be the right places, the volumes and gains should be at adequate levels, and what stumps me the most is that the Duet still functions as a microphone interface and is even still picking up sounds through the microphone despite the control panel saying the input is set as the Instrument. I've muddled with it before way in the past and gotten the DI to work but I don't remember how I did it or if there were other steps than just going to the control panel and switching it from mic to instrument. I understand Logic is better suited for MIDI, but this should still be doable and I'm upset tat its fighting me.
I'm really set on going DI for two main reasons. 1) I've never been happy with the tone I get from mixing my amp in my not sound treated atmosphere and want to see if I'll get better results this way, and 2) I'm usually only free to record in the wee hours of the night and I don't want to wake my roommates up with live playing. For my roomies's sake, can ya help a guy out?
