What is that Input Echo doing actually?

Bob, You are my HERO,  the GREAT MASTER of knowledge, patience and organised work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a big blurb on it in the doc.  Midi tracks have them too.

It let's you hear - is the short answer.

OK - so methodical WINS!

I am SOOOOO happy for you to get past all of this stuff.

This did pretty much pop my balloon (I am quite tired now), so I am going to jump off this thread for the day, or at least until later - I am sure I will check it again after a nice long nap and some cookies.

I am also going to walk down to the beer and wine store and grab some cold ones to celebrate.

We have some more to do - just tweaks to get your latency down - we will tackle that another time.

Enjoy playing around with everything tonight!!!

And don't forget to get another hug - remember - when you get a hug you are also giving one!

Stinga, let me thank you too. I was so helpless and frustrated. Glad to have an Edirol pal

Bob, I am so happy now I have thousands of hugs at my disposal. Truly unbelievable that you wanted spend full day solving my silly problems. I will never forget that.

Just for reference, "Input Echo" (a.k.a. input monitoring) relays the input signal to the output. In the case of Audio, this allows you to hear live input at the output, and in the case of MIDI allows live performance data to drive a synth (hardware or software) in real time.

By default, MIDI input echo is enabled by for the currently active track, but can also be forced ON for one or more tracks. In the case of Audio tracks you have to deliberately enable it for any tracks receiving live input that you want to hear via the output. It's not automatic, because of the potential to generate feedback with miced sources.

Thanks Brundlefly, I see its essential

My pleasure.  I've just been rehearsing with my band so missed the latest stuff. Really glad you are sorted.  


For your info. On the front of your UA25 there is a direct monitor button, if you press that in it will allow you to hear (latency free) what you are playing before it hits Sonar alievateing the need to use the input echo button in sonar. Therefore if you are using say a Bass Pod you will hear exactly what you are playing live through your monitors whilst still recording. If however you are using something like Guitar Rig inserted on your track for your bass sounds you will have to use the input echo button. 


HTH some more.
