Barbara, who was kind enough to address my situation, has directed me to the
answer to my question... I will have to wait until LA 4.7 for what I'm
attempting. In the meantime I can monitor with FX, but I can not record
while monitoring with FX.
--------some of 4.7's enhancements----------
Interaction of audio track objects and input objects optimized in Platinum
and Gold
With Logic Audio 4.7, effects inserted on the audio input objects can now be
active during both playback and recording (pre-processing). This means that
the output of effects inserted on an input object will be monitored and
subsequently recorded. In contrast, the output of effects inserted directly
on the track will be monitored (once the track is record enabled) but not
recorded.
This new feature would allow a user to, for example, print a vocal track
with slight compression while monitoring with a reverb signal that will not
be recorded. The compressor is inserted on the input object and is therefore
recorded. At the same time, the track may be bussed to a reverb and so is
not recorded, but used for the monitor mix.
Hierarchical flip menus in Platinum, Gold, Silver, MicroLogic AV
Version 4.7 of Logic Audio Platinum, Gold, Silver and MicroLogic AV now has
clearly structured hierarchical flip menus, allowing faster, more direct
access to sounds, effects and Environment objects.
In the Arrange window the track instrument can now be chosen via a
hierarchical flip menu. Instruments can be organized by type (e.g. audio
track, audio instruments) or organized by Environment layer. Multi
instruments are represented completely, along with their hierarchical
structure.
In Logic Audio's mixer you can access all integrated Emagic, VST 1.0, 2.0
and DirectX plug ins by category (e.g. reverb, delay, EQ). Third-party
effects management is user-defined. In addition, any saved plug-in effect
settings can be managed via individual hierarchical categories. This further
accelerates the production process and circumvents operating system file
limitations.
In Logic Audio Platinum, Gold and Silver, hierarchical flip menu access to
Environment objects allows speedy access to several audio object types
directly from the Arrange window.
