Help with M-Audio interface and GB

First time with any kind of audio interface and GB. I just got a M-Audio Mobile Pre USB and am a little confused by the monitor settings. Been to the web site and read the manual and they said turn the monitoring off in garageband so I don't hear double monitoring. My question is, is it possible to record and hear the effect I have chosen as well. With monitor off all I can hear is the dry signal.I never had to worry about this before since I was going directly into the Mac, no interface. Is there a FAQ or web site that can help a newb like me with these most basic questions?

Sounds like good advice Christoph. I have been only recording bass thus far, very few effects and no latency yet. I was puzzled by the M-Audio manual that says to turn off the software monitor but on the M-Audio web site forum an expert says to turn on the monitoring in garageband. This will all makes sense to me soon I hope.

Help with Usb Audio interface

Hey guys, just having major issues setting up my recording software to work in boot camp my usb audiophile seems to be connecting and functioning with Windows 7 but the audio quality is really poor with distortion, i have seen that this is a regular problem and would much appreciate a solution or a link to one that would be a great help
my set up is a imac running 0s x version 10.6.8 with boot camp running windows 7 32 bit the Usb interface is the M-audio Audiophile
Thanks

GT Player Express is a real-time standalone application allowing to use your computer at studio or on the stage as powerful guitar multi effect processor. It offers ReWire support, for connecting to ReWire applications such as Live or Reason. Track Recording support allows recording of the processed or clean sound. Recorded tracks are automatically added to the current playlist. GT Player is functional as a VST plug-in which can be used in all VST host applications such as Nuendo, Cubase, Live, DSP Quattro, Spark, etc. With Keyboard Transpose, MIDI notes can be triggered from your computer keyboard with transpose capability.
According what I read, this app is VST only, so it won't work with GB, sorry. GB uses AU (Audio Units) and not VST.

Help with midi/usb interface and Logic 8

Hi there,
So here is the 'goal'
I have a SoftStep (MIDI USB interface) running into Logic 8 or Mainstage - my ideal scenario would be to pre-load various loops, clicks and Ambient Pads into Logic - these are usually in MP3 format.
Ideally, I would then be able to assign various buttons on the MIDI footpedal to start, stop and cycle through the various files.
Is this possible, and if so, how would I go about setting this up?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
T

he driver is indeed a universal version.
Cool.
I doubt it's the MIDI interface simply because when I used it to connect a Roland Juno-D to the computer, it worked perfectly fine.
Ok, cool. Rules that out
Notes get ''stuck'' on the visual keyboard, some notes are still considered 'pressed' until I press them again. There aren't many but it's worth noting.
Is it always the same notes? For instance, if C3 will never give a note off, it might indicate a problem with the actual keyboard mechanism in the piano.
ANYWAYS, when I've placed a monitor inside the environment at the places you mentioned, I can indeed see those odd low notes.
So it seems like the piano is sending low notes as you play the keyboard...
So I see this is a pretty solid visualize representation of what I thought was wrong. Note the C-2 is lower than I can even reach on my standard sized piano (my lowest note is A-1).
It certainly seems as though the piano is sending spurious MIDI data, as I mentioned, it might be the actual physical keyboard mechanism is mistriggering. From the things you've tried, it certainly sems to be the actual piano that's playing up, and not the MIDI interface or computer.
At this stage, I'd probably try playing around with the piano's MIDI settings, trying a reset procedure if it has one. It might be something as simple as dirt and crud in the keyboard causing mistriggering.
While you could use the environment to filter out those C-2 notes, it's not really going to help if the piano is missing note offs and triggering wrong notes. It might, as you initially suspected, be knackered...

Help with my audio interface

i use an usb yamaha audiogram6 interface on my MacBook Pro it works good, but i have the problem that if i plugged my guitar it sound everytime and i keep listen it even if im using guitar amps on logic pro i listen the clean sound from the guitar and the guitar amp on the back i want to listen the guitar or mic only if i chose monitoring on logic

I'm experiencing similar problems with 10.5.6. My edirol ua-25 has now stopped working (i.e. is not recognized and does not power up). I have been using the ua-25 forever on a 1st gen black macbook, and have had no problems. I tried updating to the latest drivers for the ua, but no luck.. any ideas?

Pancenter,
Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tristan
Tristan...
This is what you have, correct?
http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
This from Alesis..
"The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

Help configuring Audition with Virtual Audio Cable and Skype

I'm using the latest version of Audition, along with Virtual Audio Cable and Skype for my PC (Windows 7). While I'm able to properly configure my own microphone (Edirol UA-25), to be captured by Audition on track 1, I can't seem to get track 2 configured properly to capture and record.
I seem to be missing a step.
Is there anyone that can help me properly configure or offer an alternative that will allow me to record my microphone and the Skype call on two separate tracks?
Thanks in advance for your expertise!

Others may have made it work but I've never persuaded Audition to record a mic in one channel and line out (Skype) in the other. Since Audition it designed to work with a single ASIO audio interface, this makes sense.
My solution is to use a little utility called the iFree Skype recorder: Record Skype Calls with iFree Skype Recorder - Your FREE Skype call recorder software
It works well for me, keeping the outgoing part of the call and the incoming separate for easy editing later. It works fine with an external audio interface and good mic as long as Skype is set up to work that way.
The only drawback is that it records in MP3 not wave but, given the quality of most Skype calls, this isn't really a deal breaker.

Input problem with UCA202 usb audio interface and Garageband

Hello, i've tried to connect my guitar in my UCA202 Bheringer audio Interface, and the sound goes fine for few minutes and after i get a noisy distorsioned sound with a big delay...
I dont know if the problem comes from the MacBook, the sound card, Garageband or else...
it come only from input guitar device.
Thanks to help.
Alex

There are other posts concerning this problem. I also have a UCA202 and a Peavey PV10 USB mixer. It seams that anything using the 10.4.11 or 10.5.1 mac USB drivers are having this issue. I had to go back to 10.4.10 to resolve at this point. My recordings are clean when going back. There is 10.5.2 comming soon and it is not known if this will fix it. Check this thread for updates.

Help with Optical Audio, w/X-Fi Elite Pro, and Logitech Z-5

Hi,
I need help with optical audio on my X-Fi Elite Pro, and Logitech Z-5500 speakers. I have everything connected, and sound comes out, but NO 5. Surround. This is pissing me off beyond belief. I have it all connected, and set to 5. Surround, and on my Logitech's I have it set to opical in, and have tried ALL effects, stereo, strereo 2x,[Dolby Sign] PL II Movie, [Dolby Sign] PL II Music. I have tried the sound card set for an external decoder, and the sound cards' decoder, and tried both with all optical settings on the sound card. It doesn't give me surround with optical... And I would REALLY appreciate help.
My drivers are up to date.
Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!!
Yan N. B.

Except if you send DD/DTS multichannel sound to your receiver, you'll not have surround sound with digital connection. did you read the stikies?

Help needed for audio interface!

Hello, i am trying to set up a small recording studio at home. i have short listed o2 audio interfaces but unable to decide which one to buy? one is Tascam US-144MKII USB Audio Interface and the other one is Focusrite Scarlet 2i2, if you guys can help me choosing the right one.
my main use would be covering songs and recording vocals and instruments at the same time.

Oh I get that... we all have to work within what we can afford.. and you are not the only one who budgets like that for sure.. but here's the thing..
Note: What follows is just a personal opinion. based on my own personal experienes and those I have worked with here and elsewhere.
You are using a $1000-$2000+ Mac... an App worth $200+ plus extra for whatever 3rd party plugins you have bought.. extra bucks for a Midi controller...and yet you are only willing/able to spend $125+ on a combined Audio/Midi inteface?
It's kind of like buying a $100K Ferrari and then putting $50 tires on it..... and expecting to get the best or even just average performance from your car? It simply doesn't work that way in reality..... and trying to make such a low budget for an Audio / Midi interface.. will only lead to possible issues in the future....
There is a good reason why it tends to be the same audio/midi interfaces which are owned by people who also report issues with the current OS X version and/or Logic .. The cheaper products simply aren't so well supported or designed/developed as the more expensive ones... and so thats what happens...
Look at the current issues going on with Mavericks for example..
Mackie/M-Audio/Avid/Digidesign/Tascam are all having driver/hardware issues of one kind or another..to differing degrees..with various products they sell.. with little sign they are close to properly fixing things.. Focusrite are, at least, working hard with Apple to resolve their driver issues...but currently they are having some issues with certain products in their range too.. The cheapo Midi-USB2 cable type interfaces that sells for $20-$40 are all non starters/buggy as heck.. when used with ML/Mav and/or USB3 ports.. and most of these cheap products have the exact same issues every time OSX undergoes a major update! Sometimes they are fixed eventually and some times they aren't. In some cases the companies simply release a new replacement product leaving owners of the older versions.. left to their own devices.. (sic) and without any recourse or solution.. other than to buy a replacement or not being able to upgrade their Software/OS X
So... here is what i would suggest...
I'd rather buy a used Motu (or one of the other brands out there that are known to be reliable) for a couple of hundred bucks or so.. on eBay than buy a new cheaper interface.... but of course the choice/decision is yours.

Stage Performance with 2408 audio interface

Stage Performance with 2408 audio interface
a)I need to set a playlist with my 80 projects in front of me, ready to play and with a minimum loading time every time I select a new song to perform.
Each of my logic project has about 30 audio instrument tracks and 10 audio instrument tracks with many plug in.
I consider buying On Stage but the software only takes 20 projects at the time.
Is it possible to program more than one on stage software in the same computer and to program my 80 Logic projects?
I don't want to learn how to use Ablaton live, now I am finally comfortable with Logic.
b)About the loading time and the computer CPU:
1) what would be the best deal to avoid the loading time between the songs: I can bounce my 50 tracks to a 4 stereo audio tracks, create a new project with these 4 audio instrument track to make faster or
2) I can just leave the project with the original tracks but even with my Mac book Pro 2.4 GHZ, the computer crashes sometime because too many effects and tracks. (2 GB ram)
Please if you have an idea, I would appreciate a lot!!
Thank you in advance.
John

An external audio interface will not make a significant difference to the CPU strain. All it might do is improve the quality of your output signal. It will also not improve (or alter) the intrinsic audio quality of a bounce, unless there are external hardware synths/modules involved.
In the best case scenario (high end interfaces) the latency might drop a few milliseconds.
If you do not record audio, you can turn off software monitoring.
I also have the Lush, it's a lovely synth, but also a CPU-hog that can pretty easily overload the one CPU-core it is processed on.
What often helps with these synths is to turn off any FX (delay, chorus reverb, etc) that are built into the synth, and use Logics plugins as inserts on the channel strip. Also, turning off FX on synths reveals the actual ("virgin") honest sound of the synth itself.

BadRequest: Virtual machines with secondary network interfaces and virtual machines with no secondary network

I'm trying to create an "ExtraLarge" VM with multiple NICs. The New-AzureVM returns the following error:
BadRequest: Virtual machines with secondary network interfaces and virtual machines with no secondary network
interfaces are not supported in the same deployment, also a virtual machine having no secondary network interfaces
cannot be updated to have secondary network interfaces and vice-versa.
But I have no other VMs. Or at least I did and then deleted them and all their disks. The service has no deployments (either staging or production).
Why is New-AzureVM complaining about a mismatch of VMs with and without secondary network interfaces when no other VMs exist?
I have tried many things to fix this, including the deletion of ALL of my resources. I have deleted and created the service many times, both with an affinity group and without. I have a screen print of the -debug output if your interested.
Thanks for the outstanding help.

Hi Ron,
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do not post the CONFIDENTIAL DETAILS ever on the public forums, this is HIGH RISK action.
Please send an email with your contact details to my email
[email protected] so that I guide you on steps which help you come out of the current scenario. Thank you for understanding.
I suggest you to create a new VNET and new VM with cloud services. Create Multiple NIC VM. Let us know the results.

Help! which Audio Interface to buy?

Hi,
I have just got garageband and have fiddled with it for a few months now so Im comfortable with it. I now wnat to connect my Condenser Mic (RODE NT1-A) which will need phantom power and my electric guitar . Everything else will be recorded with the inbuilt soft synths on GB. I know nothing of audio interfaces and am only familar with M Audio Fast track as a brand.
I want to spend no more than £100 ( or less on ebay second hand) but Im confused by the vast choice. I was tempted by the cheaper M audio fast track with 1 xlr input and 1 for guitar. Does any one use one and if so will it be powerful enough for my condenser mic with phantom power ?
Cheers
Paul

I use a Presonus FireStudio Mobile with my Rode Mic's. http://www.presonus.com/products/FireStudio-Mobile I use an NT5 and NT2000. Both work great with the unit.. Its FireWire though which you may not have on your machine. I have used an early M-Audio Fast Track and would not recomend it to others. Cheers

Audio Interface and Converter HardWare for my future Logic

Hello, I'm French.
I will buy a logic studio 9 software + a mac pro computer
But i don't really know what Audio Interface and Converter HardWare take?
I'm look for Digidesign + HD Cards or Apogee System or RME, MOTU
After I will buy an SSL mixage table for my studio (in a long time^^)
Sorry for the bad english :S

Logic and Protools don't have exactly the same concept when it comes to audio hardware. But if you want Apogee hardware to use with Logic, then there are options for either PCI-based or FireWire. Go and look at the Apogee site:

Audio interface and software for my 13" MBA?

I just bought a new Macbook Air, the $999 13" model, and installed OSX Mavericks
I'm looking to purchase a compatible audio interface and recording/editing software to use with my XLR microphone.
Any pointers? I just don't want to spend $500 and get home and have it not work!

I'm quite impressed by Apogee Duet. 2-channel & no MIDI (still does provide some control function with its single knob) which sounds like it suits what you're looking for. Very simple & elegant design, the sound quality is supreme considering its cost.
Near field monitor of my choice is KRK V8's. Nice natural sounding set of monitors. In comparison to competitors at the price range, these sets 'breathe' & provide a bit more air in sound production without exaggerating any particular freq.
When it comes down to choosing monitor speakers, go to a local pro audio shop & try out a bunch so you can compare. Just remember to bring test CD that you know well what it should sound like.
Good luck!
