I've been searching the forums for a while because I'm sure that someone else has asked this before, but no luck. I'm using an iRig HD2 interface with a MacBook Pro. Not having any issues getting my backing track to play through the headphones, however I can't figure out how to get my guitar to output through headphones as well. I have used this configuration with Reaper and it works just fine, but after digging through BIAB settings for hours I can't seem to find anything. I'm really hoping this exists, because I'd rather not go through with building and exporting tracks to my DAW each time I want to monitor my instrument, although I suppose that would be acceptable.
Thanks in advance!

Maybe try Input Monitoring .. this should send the guitar back out of the software with the mix. Which DAW are you using? BiaB, RB, or?
The instructions may vary
Otherwise, I would think you could arrange this in the iRig mixer app.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Where can I find the "Input Monitoring" setting that you described? I just searched the BIAB manual for this and didn't get any matches.

Sorry, I don't know in BiaB. I could explain for Realband, but I don't try this type of stuff in BiaB.
I'm pretty sure it is possible, but I really can't tell you how right now.
Hopefully someone else can fill this part in.
I'm pretty sure you need to be using ASIO drivers for your device too, in order for this to work in an acceptable fashion.

Does your interface have a software control panel? Check in the settings for the control panel for your interface. That's where you set lots of "default" things such as input and output levels, and FX like comp/EQ and perhaps you will find echo input in there too. Everyone forgets about that software control panel.
Mine echos everywhere in every program I have. In fact, the software doesn't need to be active.... with just the computer on I can hear everything from my interface inputs..... mics, guitars, etc.
BB really isn't a DAW in the strictest sense of the word, or at least in my opinion. Real Band is. Most DAW's do give you a choice to echo the inputs or not.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into this a little bit further. My interface (iRig HD2) doesn't really have a control panel, it just shows up as an input/output device in "System Preferences" on the Mac and gets configured from there.
Given the responses I've seen so far, I wonder if I'm trying to make BIAB do something it's not supposed to? I'm a new user so it really wouldn't surprise me. Based on what I've read so far it looks like the workflow should be
1. Author the backing track in BIAB.
2. Publish to audio file (mp3, wav, whatever...).
3. Import into DAW.
4. Jam and Record.
Is that what most folks are doing?

1. Author the backing track in BIAB.
2. Open file in Real Band.
3. Enable an Audio track. Set input to iRig.
4. Enable Input Monitoring in Real Band.
5. Have fun!

Bob

Thanks to both of you. I think even the example on Windows was helpful, because it gives me an idea of the area of responsibility for BIAB and the DAW. Appreciate your help!
