'Ride the Cyclone'

My initial thought was to plug the jack from the receiver into a scarlet box, send it through Logic and then out to the desk. I did briefly attempt this setup, but found it was difficult to setup and took a lot of leads and hardware, as well as finding issues in getting signal out to the desk.

Instead of spending any more time problem solving what I knew wasn't an ideal setup, I had a rethink and came to the realisation that much like I had seen at the Theatre by the Lake, I could utilise the fact this is a digital Allen and Heath desk and use USB connection.

I had to make it that the signal went from the receiver into a channel on the desk, then from the desk to Logic, then back into a different channel on the desk. I was able to achieve this with a lot of systematically working through and playing with settings, keeping in consideration the signal path. This helped in solving the problem that arose in which Logic's input being the mics channel meant the channel had to be coming through the main LR to go into Logic. My solution was to create a separate mix only for Logic featuring only the mic and setting this as Logic's USB input by selecting the input channel and changing it to the mix in the setup menu, under I/O Path, USB Audio.

The other major issue I faced was Logic refusing to apply the Pitch Correction plug-in onto the input monitoring. I discovered this was due to the latency being too high, so I worked through various things to reduce this such as reducing the buffer and running Logic in Rosetta, which was the main fix.

Creating the exaggerated autotune sound was much simpler, as I just had to completely reduce the response time and greatly reduce the tolerance.

While it took a while to refine, I ultimately created the best quality and most efficient result I could've hoped for with my available software and hardware.
