I feel like this is a regular recording studio issue and that the answer is right in front of me, but I can't find it. Part of my purpose in recording is to create backup tracks for practice purposes, and I really don't care to do this with headphones on. I can still hear the playback even when I switch input devices (specifically, to my webcam’s mic). Changing the input volume in the OS does not change the volume of the playback. I guess I could turn the gain down all the way on the Scarlett, but that doesn't completely mute the mic and I don't like messing with my gain setting after I've adjusted it. Changing the output volume in the OS changes the volume of the playback, up to the point where muting the output volume stops the playback. I don't really think that sound is hurting my monitors, but the sound is off-putting. I don't want to physically disconnect the mic, and I could turn off the 48V phantom power, but it makes a popping sound that I don't care for. I'm recording acoustic guitar with a condenser mic into a Scarlett 18i20 into GarageBand 10.1.6 - (my iMac is too old to update).Īfter recording a track, I'd like to mute the mic to avoid feedback when listening to playback through my monitors, and I haven't come up with a way to do this. I've been away from recording for a while but would like to get back to it.
