Disable each input source that you don’t plan to record from
(usually everything except the line-in).
The line-in will usually give the best results. Make sure you
avoid the sound card’s microphone input, especially with
cheaper cards. It is a better idea to use an external mic pream-
plifier, such as that on a mixing desk, and then record via the
line input.
The Volume control can be accessed more easily if you check
the option Show Volume Control on Taskbar in Control Panel >
MultiMedia > Audio—this will place a loudspeaker icon on the
taskbar, which will reveal a master volume control with a single
click, while a double click will open the complete mixer.
Logic Audio Device Setup
The tool “Logic fun Audio Device Setup” (LADS), which can
be activated from the Logic folder in the Windows Start menu, is
of essential importance for the best possible setup of your audio
hardware in Logic fun. Although Logic fun usually recognizes
most of the currently available sound and audio recording cards,
it is still better in most cases to optimize Logic fun to your indi-
vidual audio setup, by using LADS. This is especially true, if
several sound cards or a Multi-I/O card are installed in your
computer.
 Since LADS is automatically run during Logic fun’s installation, you only have to start
it separately if you encounter problems concerning the communication between
Logic fun and your audio hardware, or after you have installed new hardware.
LADS—What It Is
LADS helps you to take care of the following tasks:
•
Determining whether the installed audio hardware has been
recognized correctly by the system.
•
Enabling audio hardware in Logic fun.
