In this video, I demonstrate various hardware options for headphone monitoring for tracking, how to set up headphone cue mixes in Logic Pro, how to use Sends on Faders to create cue mixes, and how to set up a Talkback Mic without any additional hardware.

Thank you so much, man! You explained it all in such a simple way. Helped me a lot!

Just a note on the talkback mic. If you want to be sure and protect your studio monitors from feedback, setting the output on the talkback mic channel from 'Stereo Out' to 'none' (Anything but your monitor mix outputs really) will ensure that your talkback only goes to the headphones. As an aside, muting this channel will also act as a 'talkback on/off' if you have a lot of headphone mixes and save you loads of clicking to enable/disable talkback.

Thank you! Please keep making such videos, This is exactly what I was looking for :)

Great video. Quite a tricky concept and process explained extremely clearly without being at all overwhelming.

Good video. I feel you left out a critical step to protect the musicians with headphones. Add a brick-wall limiter on any channel output that is sending a signal to headphones to prevent accidental loud signals. Also adding a high ratio compressor for the talkback channel to level out the mic and prevent uncomfortable loud noises. In my booth the artists have a device that allows them to adjust their headphones level as well as a hardwired limiter to protect their ears. Prost!

Useful shiit as ever, thanks josh, love the gold faders

Thank you Josh! This video taught me a lot! Cheers from Brazil!

Dude, it's like you were watching me last night, I was just thinking "I need to look up how to set up headphone mixes". Thx!

Thanks a lot. These are good infos

Thanks a lot, lots of good tips!

Always great content Josh! Gianni❤

Awesome thanks this was way helpful.

Thank you ❤

Thanks so much. I use an XR18 for my interface. Does a pretty good job. And it has 6 auxiliary outputs which I use for headphone mixes. It’s great and seperate from the DAW.

Perfect!!

Nice one. I'm comfortable with ProTools and do all this sort of stuff in PT but was not sure that Logic could do a similar thing - always assumed the tiny send knobs would be fiddly. With the Logic talkback channel you use the channel mute button to turn TB on and off for all sends in one step. Seems to work with the sends in pre-fader mode (doesn't work like that in PT). I use a cheap midi controller to do this, don't use its other 7 channels at all! Also, you could set TB channel to 'no output' to eliminate any possibility of feedback.

Great video. Love the gold faders - I'm new and never seen that feature before - so good! How would you add a plugin, e.g. compressor, to the vocal track so that only the vocalist can hear it, to give more confidence in the performance recording?

Also, Dante is def a viable option with many options and future proof.

👍🏻👍🏻 Both thumbs up, incredibly interesting, didn‘t know anything about this. Thanks so much! Watching this I found out there is no 32 IO Buffer size setting possibility (only 64) in my Logic audio settings. Is the reason for that my only 16 GB of RAM on my Mac Mini M2 Pro, or what else? 💪🏻 video!

Hey thank you so much for this video. In a future video could you adress exporting stems with a 2 bus in logic? Is there some advanced sidechain i have to do to the 2 bus with a spare aux? Or how would you go about it?

Is it possible to have each stereo cue have different panning from the main mix pan settings? Great video and perfect timing for me!

Would it be possible to set up the talkback in logic so your talkback channel's output is not going anywhere and use the sends post fader so that you can use the mute button on the TB channel as your talk button?

yes please!

HF?? Why not HP?

Josh, quick question…. Is there a keyboard “skin” that has the Logic Pro keyboard shortcuts that you’d recommend? Or is there a better way to familiarize myself with the keyboard shirtcuts? Thanks, man. I appreciate these videos.

I need to increase the sensitivity of midi keyboard in logic..can anyone help.. i find the option in garage band but could not in logic❤

Great job Mackie, to save a few cents you just made that monitor 50% less useful than a 100% useful box 😂

Too much sponsorship……. Loosing your earthiness & originality me thinks
