Check your email if you have UAD because they are giving it away for free right now you have to choose 1 out of 10 plugins and I most definitely saw that EQ listed, 🎄🎅

I also used specific questions to elaborate steps that may seem unclear so here's how ChatGpt explained it: Perfect, Heather — your setup is almost exactly what we want: https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/ - ✅ Logic Input: Facebook Messenger (from Loopback — this brings in the Chrome audio) - ✅ Logic Output: UAD Apollo (this sends audio to your headphones or monitors via Apollo) You're correctly routing: 🔊 Chrome (Messenger) audio → Loopback → Logic (Input) → Apollo (Output) ✅ Now, to clarify your question: “Do I need Pass-Thru if my Logic Input is 'Facebook Messenger' and Output is UAD Audio?” 🎯 Short answer: No, you do not need Pass-Thru unless you’re combining multiple audio sources into Logic (like Chrome plus your mic or system audio simultaneously). Since you're just recording Chrome/Messenger audio into Logic and monitoring via Apollo: 🚫 You can safely remove or disable Pass-Thru in this setup. 🧪 How to Confirm Everything Works (Final Check): 1. In Loopback: 2. In macOS Settings > Sound > Output: 3. In Logic Pro: 🎉 You should hear the Messenger audio through Apollo and see the waveform recorded in Logic. 💡 Optional Tip (if needed later): If you eventually want to: - Record your mic and Messenger audio together into one track - Or mix system audio, instruments, or Zoom into Logic ...then you’d reintroduce Pass-Thru and blend those sources. But for now:✅ Keep it simple. Skip Pass-Thru. Let me know if you'd like to send a screenshot of your current Loopback routing to confirm it's spot-on — or if you want help cleaning the audio once you record it 💛

Congratulations on your release!

@Andy Laird

You are definitely resilient and I do not know your health struggles but this is understandable and relatable as this musical journey can be exciting and/or taxing at times both mentally and physically depending on constraints that are outside and inside of our control. Thanks for being vulnerable, also present, and putting in the work as I am sure you know you are not alone.
