Can't Get Any Guitar Sound

Hey guys!
I just got the new Logic Pro Studio yesterday. I'm trying to record some riffs using the amp designer and such. I have my guitar hooked up to a Behringer Guitar Link USB. I set up the proper input and output showing CODEC, but I still can't get any sound from it.
I thought it was the Guitar Link so I opened Garageband and everything turned out ok.
Any help would gladly be appreciated.
Thanks!

Well, do you have headphones or speakers plugged into the Behringer? You aren't by any chance expecting sound to come out of the speakers hooked up to the Mac are you?
Which version of Logic?

  • How can i get the best sound from my electric guitar?

    Hello,
    I'm new to the Apple forums. I have come seeking some knowledge about how I can make my guitar sound really good like a metal/rock sound while at the same time not sounding unnaturally distorted but clean.
    I have a Macbook Air with a Griffin iMic. I have tried some of built in presets for metal/rock but they are either too noisy (background hiss) or they arn't rock like enough. I like the metal ones but they have too much hiss and it ruins my recordings (sounds like a jumbled mess in the end...)
    I'm not only new to the forums, but i'm also new to electric guitar and peddles. I'm certainly not new to guitar itself though, been playing for 7 years. What I really seek is what kind of settings I can have like a combination of the best amp model + pedals along with settings or effects to apply to it.
    Thanks in advance, I hope i provided enough info.

    You can by pass the iMic by using the same adaptor and plugging straight into the Line in on your mac. Try it and see if there is a difference in your sound.
    Regarding settings, I was able to develop one which has minimal noise levels but also some distortion. I will defiantly experiment more...
    Yeah, the key is to start with as clean a sound as possible and then add in little bits. Start adding with a Chorus effect first, then maybe a slight delay. Try all of your setting with both strumming and picking, both fast and slow, as you often have to match your playing technique with how the effects are set up. Then add Fuzz/Distortion etc. Once you have done that then reverse the set up sequence by starting with the major signal modifiers like Distortion etc and add the chorus, flanger, phasers after. These sorts of strategies can change the way things sound. Don't forget a bit of reverb.
    The key is to start simple with mild alterations. Also, find a few guitar sounds you like from your favorite songs where you can hear good clear guitar sounds. Maybe create a playlist in iTunes and use these as a reference to compare between what you like and what you are creating. This A-B'ing will go along way to helping you develop your 'taste'. Its great to hear things side by side.
    Goggle each of the guitar effects and learn what they do, make a few simple notes as a reference. Basically educate yourself.
    and invest in a M-Audio Fast track 2 as i suspect the griffin is causing the noise.
    Personally I would recommend something a bit better than the M-Audio Fast Track USB. The quality of your recorded sound is dependent on the sound converters in your external devices. I am not sure there is any advantage over your built in sound card verses the Fast Track. There are other things to consider with sound cards so it pays to do some planning and research.

  • I can t get any sound notication sounds on my ipad 2 such as new email etc

    You need to turn off the mute.  The side switch is the key.  Depending on your settings, it may affect the mute or it may affect the rotation lock.  This support article from Apple provides detail.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    In case you're wondering, here is the history.  Originally, the mechanical switch affected only the rotation lock and the mute was a software switch elsewhere.  In IOS-3, it was changed to be the mute switch and the rotation lock became a software switch.  This was done to ensure consistency among IOS devices.  Unfortunately, a large quantity of users complained loudly, alleging that they turned the rotation lock on and off several times every hour and the convenience of the mechanical switch is essential.  In IOS-4, Apple bowed to the whiners and made the switch function selectable and now we're stuck with a mess.

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • [SOLVED] Can't get any sound working at all

    I've just installed Arch again on my MacBook 5,2 and I can't get any sound (speakers or earphones) to work. I've tried the ALSA wiki page for troubleshooting, but none of that has worked. Does anyone have any ideas where to start with this?

  • I can't get any sound from ITunes. The computer's internal speakers are fine (they play utube sound, for example). And the sound bar on itunes is all the way to the right. Still no sound from the music library. Any insights?

    I can't get any sound from my ITunes library. The IMac is set to internal speakers, the volume bar on ITunes itself is all the way to the right, there seems to be no problem with the speakers themselves (they play sound from internet videos, for example), but I can't play music from the ITunes library on the IMac. Please help!

    Is it possible that you have iTunes set to send audio through AirPlay to an AirPort Express, Apple TV, or other AirPlay device (which is itself not turned up so you can hear it)?

  • I can't get any sounds from my ipod, only through earphones

    I can't get any sounds from my itouch. I can only hear through my headphones. I completely reset my itouch and still nothing

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem. I do not know what you meant by "completely reset my itouch".
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

  • I have a brand new Nano Ipod 7th Generation.  I can't get any sound out of earphones.  Yes, have pushed the cord all the way in.  Screen shows tunes are playing, but I can't hear anything.  Volume bar shows volume all the way up.  Now what?

    No sound out of earphones.  Yes, cord is all the way in the jack.  Screen shows tune is "playing", but I can't get any sound out.  Help

    If this is the case, I recommend to visit Apple store to request for replacement. Cheers!

  • Can't get any sound on YouTube simce September 29, 2013

    I am very said and disgusted, because i cannot get any sounds what so ever on youtube.  I have trIed every thing i am capable of doing....I know googles has been blocking my sent video's from time to time because I like my toutube name and do not want to use my real name...For over three years this has been my name.  This might be the problem, or not...I just want to hear my video's and add to ma place list.  Someone please HELP ME!

    I understand you can't get any sound on YouTube since September 29, 2013.\
    If you do a System Restore it should fix what changes took place on or before that date.
    If I were to do the Restore I would take it to the 27th of September, that way you will be sure to correct the issue. Follow the link for how to options.

  • Trying to play Reason 3 devices in LP7 - i can't get any sound

    Trying to play Reason 3 devices in LP7 - i can't get any sound!!!
    I've followed all the instructions, and got the latest updates of both Reason3 and LP7
    The MIDI receive light comes on on the Reason devices, but there's no level showing up on the Reason hardware interface..
    Any ideas?

    Ok, try this:
    Open Logic, then open Live. Live should now be a Rewire slave to Logic.
    Now insert any audio clip into an open slot on an audio track in Live. Doesn't matter what, anything will do.
    Now go to Logic and create a track to accept the Rewire output from Live. Once again, just to be sure, this is done by changing the track parameters in the window on the left side of the arrange window.
    Now play the clip in Live. Does the audio come through into Logic? If so, your issue is with Reason. If not, it sounds like you have a global Rewire issue.
    The preferences, I believe, are in ~/library/application support/Ableton and ~/library/application support/Propellerheads. I can't remember off the top of my head, and I'm not at my Mac to check. Do a search here for the location of the Logic preference file. Trash them all (be prepared to re-authorize Reason and/or Live, however).
    Let me know how this test goes and we'll take it from there.

  • My phone thinks the headphones are plugged in and I can't get any sounds.  How to fix?

    My iphone 5 thinks that the headphones are plugged in and they are not.  I used them earlier today but they are no longer plugged in to the phone. I can't get any sound (text alerts, ringing, etc) on the phone outside headphones.  Any ideas on how to fix?

    I have resolved my own problem thanks to reviewing other discussions. The solution that worked for me and that was suggested by an Apple store associate some time ago was to plug and unplug my headphone jack into the iPad four times. On the fourth time leave the headphone jack connected and rotate the plug clockwise, then remove and try your sound. When you use the external volume control the HEADPHONE label should be gone. It appears I have to do this now every time after I've used my headphone jack.
