How to configure Logic Pro and Source-Connect 4 Studio/Facility to record incoming audio signal

There will be four separate setups you will need to take care of: 

• Creating a folder on your local machine for your session.
• Following a set of steps in Logic Pro.
• Following a set of steps in Source-Connect 4.
• Recording on your DAW.

1. Create a folder for the Logic Pro session

On your computer, create a folder to save your session and the audio files in your session. Name it “Sample Logic Session Files”.

2. Configure Logic Pro for recording

In Logic Pro, follow these steps:

a. Go to File > New project to add a new Logic Pro project. Then, click “Audio” to select an audio project.

Logic Pro will create a project with a single audio track by default.

b. Go to File > Save as.

c. Save the project in the same folder you created in step 1 (in our case, in “Sample Logic Pro Session Files”). Name it “SampleSession”.

d. Go to Track > New Audio Track. This will add a new track to your project. 

e. Double click the "Audio 1" track and name it “Recording”.

f. In the “Recording” track, select “Bus 1” as the input.

g. In the “Recording” track, click “I” to enable input monitoring and “R” to record arm the track.

h. In the “Audio 2” track, select “No input”. Double click the circle next to the input dropdown so the track is a stereo track.

i. In the “Audio 2” track, in the “Audio FX” section, click Audio Units > Source Elements > Source-Connect > Stereo.

j. Rename the plugin to “SCToLogicProPlugin”.

k. In the “Audio 2” track, select “Bus 1” as the output.

l. In the “Audio 2” track, click “I” to enable input monitoring.

3. Configure Source-Connect for your session

In Source-Connect 4, follow these steps:

a. Go to the Restore/Replace tab.

b. In the RECORDED FILES widget, click the R/R settings button.

c. In the WATCH FOLDER PATH window, click “Set Watch Folder”.

d. Go to the folder you created in step 1. Then, click into the session and choose the “Audio Files” folder.

e. Click the gears icon in the top right panel.

f. In the AUDIO I/O section, set CHANNELS to Mono.

g. In the AUDIO I/O section, select SCToLogicProPlugin as your output.

h. In the Contacts panel, click your contact's icon and click the Connect button. Make sure both “Restore” and “Replace” are enabled.

4. Click “Record” in Logic Pro

In Logic Pro, click the red “Record” in the upper part of the application.

Then, go ahead and perform your session.

When you are ready to finish your session, click the “Record” button again to stop recording.

4. Wait for the recording to be displayed in Source-Connect 4

It might take some time for your recording to show up on Source-Connect 4 depending on the length of your session. For this sample session, we recommend a 1-minute recording.
