    This post is still helping Logic users (or at least newbies like me) in 2022. I reinitialized Logic and couldn't hear any of my plugins. I checked Input Monitoring and Low Latency Mode settings, but overlooked Software Monitoring (thinking it was the same as Input Monitoring). Your video got my issue sorted quickly. Many, many thanks!!!

    This is the second time this video has set me straight, the first time being about a year ago (and I forgot from that first time what the solution was.) I had reset my Preferences to the defaults and those two checkboxes Auto Input Monitoring, and Software Monitoring got eliminated from the Control Bar and Display. It was the Software Monitoring that allowed me to hear my guitar whether in Record mode or not (and, yes, the I button next to the R button in the channel strip was turned on.)
    Before using this solution, when I tried to record everthing worked (I was recording OK), but I couldn't hear it until playback, not while recording. Thanks again, Mr. Mike!

    Thanks a lot. I actually stopped using Logic X because of this issue, and went to my old Logic 9, Garageband and Ableton Live. Such an easy fix, but still I wonder why the developers hid this absolutely central function. Didn't know it was possible to customize the Control Bar and display. Software monitoring with the green button should really have been a default.

    Thank you!!!! Every time I get a new computer I struggle with this, and I've been using the product for 20 years. I can't find it because I never turn it off. It is particularly stupid that they completely hide the setting -- like, you have to manually unhide the toggle to even use it, and though there are various other software/input monitoring preferences this one exists in a completely different part of the app. Then when I search for instructions, I get references to all the other monitoring toggles and have to dig and dig to find references to this one. I feel like they hate their users.
