Recording using Audio Bridge Plugin in Logic

It can be difficult to record in Logic. JackTrip's audio bridge runs as an effects plugin, and (as far as I know) Logic only lets you record tracks pre-plugins. This can be especially confusing because input monitoring a track shows the signal post-plugins: you'll see the audio signal coming from JackTrip, but it doesn't show up in the track when recording.

The trick is to create a bus track for JackTrip's signal that is separate from your audio recording track.

• Create a new "JackTrip In" audio track:
  • Set input to an empty bus track, say "Bus 1"
  • Click the channel mode circle to enable stereo mode
  • Set Send: set to a different bus track, say "Bus 2", and turn it all the way up
  • Set Output: "No output"
  • Add the audio bridge plugin to effects
    • By default, the knobs in the audio bridge are set for sending audio
    • Turn "Output Mix" knob all the way up (to the right)
    • Optionally, turn "Send" knob all the way down (to the left)
  • Enable input monitoring
  • You should now see the signal from JackTrip in the volume meter
• Create a new "Recording" audio track:
  • Set the input to whichever you chose previously as JackTrip's output bus, i.e. "Bus 2"
  • Click the channel mode circle to enable stereo mode
  • Set Output: "No output"
  • Arm it for recording
• Record!
