Rookie needs help recording DJ set through M-audio Firewire 410

Ok.... ive been reading through the forums and I still can't find help...
Im running GB 3 that came with my Macbook I bought about 4 months ago.
I am a DJ and I trying to record a DJ set/demo.
What I use to DJ is Pioneer cdj-800 x2 and a Pioneer DJM400 using Rane Serato Scratch through my Mac.
I recently bought an M-Audio Firewire 410.
I installed all necessary drivers from m-audio's website (i bought it on ebay so it did not come with the install cd).
I connect the Maudio into the Mac as instructed and set all my inputs/outputs in prefs to the m audio.
The record out of my mixer is via rca so i bought an rca to 1/4" cable. The rca going into my mixer and the 1/4" is going into the first "mic/inst" on the interface.
I created a real instrument track on a new project in GB and set the input to channel 1 (mono).
I play a track..... no sound. nothing at all. i tried the inputs in the back of the firwire and played with the gains. still nothing. i am getting a little frustrated here as you can imagine.
I would really appreciate if someone could walk me through this or at least point me in the right direction.
Thanks a ton in advance.

Perhaps you may need to reinstall the driver again from the M-audio website. The newest drivers don't work well but if you're running the newest OSX 10.4.10 then you have no choice but to use the newest drivers. When installing the new driver, do not have the 410 hooked up to the computer. After it is installed, shut down the computer. Hook up the 410, then turn the computer on, make sure teh 410 is power button is on as well. Once you're computer is up and running, open up the m-audio mixer application that comes with the driver. on the top right-hand corner is a reset button. Click that and a there will be a popup asking if you want to reset, say reset. Next open up system preferences and check the sound. Select the 410 for input and output. You have to also do this again in garagebands prefs. Test your audio out by playing a song through itunes or something. Hope it works.

Hi,
Back from my "rescue mission" ...
Firstable, to answer the last post, yes I tried on different computers but it was windows PC.
Anyway, I tried ...older drivers (1.8/1.7/1.7.2) ...not working.
I tried to close airport (not bluetooth cause my mouse use it) ...not working.
So I decided to buy and install Leopard ...and it's working great.
In fact, after some research my problem was a frequency problem who came from a disfunction between my card and my mac. But why this problem ...because of apple !!!
Yes It seems the last security update 2008-002 from apple can not be "trusted"
Bring a lot of problem ...as mine.
So maybe I bought leopard for nothing ...but is great too so I'm ok
Thx again for all your ideas.
See u.

Setting up m-audio firewire 410 as an aggregate device

Having an issue setting up my m-audio firewire 410 as an aggregate device. When I set it up it gives of this God awful distortion sound. I had it set up to my G4 with no problems. But then I upgrade to a MacBookPro, got the latest driver for this version and model, and still...nothing. Any ideas? I need to record and this is really bugging me.

It doesn't sound good with anything else. I just updated the newest driver and I am still unable to get rid of that radio static distortion sound. It is becoming very frustrating. I know it has something to do with the fact that I'm on a new Mac, because I got it to work with my PBG4 and it still does. It would be kind of stupid to record with the PBG4 but not my MacBookPro. Unless I just get another interface altogether. I shouldn't have to. It's still a great inerface. There's got to be a way to fix this issue. I'm just running out of patience. Thanks anyway.

HELP!! No sound while recording thrugh M-Audio firewire 410

I am using Logic express 7 with an M-Audio firewire 410. I have my guitar plugged into the mbox and Logic is picking up the signal from my guitar, but I cannot monitor the sound while recording OR hear anything else at all. When I unplug the mbox, however, I can hear everything that i just recorded along with everything else in the song fine. I just need some help figuring out how to monitor the sound, PLEASE!!!!

Logic always uses the same audio interface for input AND output, so I suppose your problem is that you do not have any speakers connected to you M-Audio interface. Try adding a pair of speakers to it. If there's still no sound, go to Logic's audio settings and see if "software monitoring" is active or not.

Help! Trouble with M-Audio Firewire 410 MIDI Compatability

I am currently working on an iMac running OSX 10.4.11. I have been unsuccessful in trying to use a Yamaha P-70 keyboard, running through my M-Audio Firewire 410 using the MIDI input to record MIDI sounds in Garageband. I have had great success with this in the past before this version of iLife with the Garageband updates. My computer recognizes I have a MIDI device, and I have changed the proper settings both on the control panel and within Garageband to reading the M-Audio Firewire 410, yet I am not getting any signal from the keyboard as a MIDI instrument and therefore cannot record any sounds. Does anyone have any suggestions, or is this something perhaps someone else has dealt with already? I appreciate your help!

Very interesting. Couple of questions for you:
1. Did it only affect MIDI instruments or real instruments as well?
2. If it stopped working with GB, what did you to fix the problem? Would it possibly work with Logic? I have contemplated purchasing that software.
3. Do you know of any fixes for the 410?

Noise coming through Firewire audio interface (M-Audio Firewire 410)

I have an Intel 20 inch Core Duo iMac with an M-Audio Firewire 410 audio interface attached to the 800 Firewire port. The Firewire 410 seems to be working fine. However, I have a very annoying problem with noise. A fairly loud hum is coming through.
I'm pretty sure the noise is originating in the iMac. If I press on the LCD monitor or squeeze the case around the middle of the iMac, the hum diminishes. Sometimes when I do this, the hum diminishes but a buzz then becomes audible.
The iMac and the Firewire 410 are plugged into the same outlet.
I have a friend with the same setup who claims his is dead quiet. Does anyone here know what could be causing this and how I can fix it?
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Any more news on this? I have the exact same problem, and the problem exists with a couple of firewire devices. I'm currently using a Behringer F202 (or something similar), but I had the same problem with a Firewire 410. I'm running Leopard, but I know the problem isn't related to the OS.
See - I have my FW interface hooked up to an external mixer - when I plug it into my iMac, I get the noise..this happens EVEN IF MY iMAC IS SHUTDOWN. I've tried using the external power supply for my Audio Interface, as well as running off of bus power to no avail. It is definitely a problem with the iMac itself.
I've ordered a FW Hub, and I'm going to try using the audio device through that next. I don't want to do this, but I also have a USB Audio device that I use for other things, and I found that it behaved much better when connected to a hub vs the the USB port on the back of the iMac directly. It seems obvious to me that the iMac has some weird power-shielding problem or something of that nature, so pulling it off to the hub which has its own power supply will hopefully help.
I do have AppleCare protection, so, my next step is to call them out.

Help with Powering m-audio firewire 410

Hi to All
I just got a Mac book Pro, and I own an m-audio firewire 410 interface. The Mac works wonderfully and I´m extremely happy with it and the 410 together.
Does Anyone know if there is a way to power the interface with the AC adapter, whithout powering it through the 6 pin Firewire port when using batteries ?
To My understanding, the 6 pin ports always can power devices.
Thanks for Your Help, and sorry of any English glitch

I have a MacBook Pro and a M-Audio Firewire 410. As we speak, I am running a six pin firewire cable to the Firewire 410 as well connecting it to the supplied AC power adapter. Nevertheless, I use it primarily with my PowerMac G5. When connected to the G5, I have both the 6 to 6 pin firewire connector and the supplied AC power power adapter connected and sending power to the unit. Nowhere in the manual does it say that you cannot connect the AC power adapter to the FW 410 while a six pin (powered) firewire cable is in use. It does say that the AC adapter is included to power the unit when a computer with four pin firewire ports (the kind that don't supply power) is connected to the FW 410. As bus power from a firewire port is often the victim of RFI from the components in the computer, I was advised by M-Audio tech support to utilize external power whenever feasible to increase the SN ratio on the device. So basically they told me to connect both at the same time. I assume that the FW 410 knows when it is receiving power from the AC adapter and knows to not utilize the power from the firewire bus simultaneously. If you are really worried, I suggest you call M-Audio tech support and let them tell you what I just did. One final thought: I have used my FW 410 with two power sources (firewire and DC in) for the two years since I've had the unit. It doesn't work as well as it used to...now that the drivers have improved, it works much better a than it used to. I hope this answers your question.

Help! My Macbook Pro will not recognise my M-Audio Firewire 410 interface

Hi
I'm new here and fairly new to Macs having only recently bought a Macbook Pro.
My plan is to use the Macbook primarily for music but I can't get my M-Audio Firewire 410 audio interface working.
I have installed the latest Intel driver but when I plug the interface in, the Mac does not recognize it at all. I have tested the port/cables etc, and can successfully play music from an external firewire HDD chained through the Firewire 410.
How is it possible that the Mac doesn't even know the interface is there (when I click on the M-Audio software icon I get this message "No M-Audio Firewire device was found connected to this Mac") yet I can play music chained through the device?
I have tried both with, and without, the external power supply connected to the Firewire 410 and also tested it on my PC where it works as usual. And I've tried deleting and reinstalling the driver....(I thought this was PC only territory!)
Any ideas? I really want to get back into music and my past (bad) experiences with PCs drove me to the Mac...
Many thanks in advance

Need help recording live drums on seperate tracks.

I used to be a professional recording engineer, and as such took pride in knowing my way around a console. But with GB I am stumped.
I need to record a live drummer, and subsequently place each drum on a seperate "track" as when recording analog.
Being totally new to hard disc recording, means learning all over again. Drums are set & miced, what do I need to make this happen (or is it even possible in GB)?
Watched the seminar for Logic, and sure enough there was a drum kit properly recorded on individual tracks, but they gave no detailed explination of how that was done.
Thanks for all help. I'm retired now, and looking for something to fill my time.

Basically you select the channels for each track in
the DAW. In this case GB.
At the bottom of the 'track info' window on your real
instrument (mic) tracks use the 'input' pulldown menu
to assign channels for each mic for each track you
wish to record on.
In case you are not familiar enough with GB.
If the track info window is not open. You can open it
by double clicking on the track, or under 'Track'
menu use: Show Track Info.
Or keystroke: 'Command I'.
The available channels will be available and show in
the input pulldown menu.
So basically you will want an interface with the
right I/0.
Depending on what you may have been used to in the
past for analog quality.
You may wish to take some time to research what's
available for the right amount of I/O with good pre's
and conversion. There is definitely a line of
demarcation in the quality of analog circuits and
digital converters and clock.
It may or may not matter to you, I don't know but
judging from your past and post maybe worth a
mention. However, I don't know to what standards you
wish to work in.
Standards such as Alan Parsons, Geoff Emerick, and Jeff Lynne.
Also if you want to use outboard analog while
tracking with an interface you may want to have
insert I/O available.
And of course if you are wanting to use bussing
sends, complete editing, etc. within your DAW you
will want start looking at other DAW's like Logic or
PT or DP, etc.
Thanks, I want to get started with GB, and have some basic tracks laid & get Logic in a couple of months. Got to have bussing send/recieve for fx on SN, EQing the kit, compression, etc.
If you are not familiar with other forums here are a
couple that may be of interest to you.

Need help Recording G-Force VST's Like MInimonsta and M-Tron

Hello everyone!
Having a great time with logic pro 7 so far,
I need some help recording my G-Force synths.
Do I use the instrument,Rewire, or Audio tracks?
Any basic setup tips would be golden!
Thanks Folks
Abe

You should be using the AU versions... any reason not to or was the VST term used as a generic term for softsynth? They are avalable as AU.
You would use an Audio Instrument track and then where you would set the input if it were an audio track... in audio instrument this is a pop up for your softdynths/samplers.
Once you are ready to commit them as audio files then use "export track as audio file".

Installation working fine, service is created and files are copied to the specified folder.
I have the following section for uninstall. Basically i wanted to delete the service and driver files when uninstalling. But it is not happening. I suspect problem may be with the section name

[XYZ.NTAMD64.Remove]
DelFiles = Driver_Copy_Files, Service_Copy_Files
Please help me on this.

Hi Doron,
DifxAPI will not add entry in Control panel.
DriverPackageInstall does
not create an entry, which represents the driver package, in Programs and Features in
Control Panel.
DriverPackageUninstall will
invoke DIF_REMOVE. Because in my coinstaller i am handling the DIF_REMOVE to stop service and delete a service?

Seriously need help but cant get through via phone

I am seriously needing help spend almost all week chatting with verizon via my verizon however nobody could come up with an answer for my problem it seems that I have been locked out of using the online payment option and the lady says it does not show that on her end I need this addressed asap but the lines have been down for days according to the store I just spoke with. is there someone in finance or billing that could call me? I have several things I am trying to do 1. add an account manager 2. make a payment arrangement for a week out ( I normally do this as my payday falls odd) 3. gain access to online payments

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. If the problem isn't solved, ask for further instructions.
1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
2. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter.
3. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
4. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.

Edit /etc/resolv.conf (it may not exist) with the following lines:
domain your.domain.name
nameserver your.primary.dns.ip
nameserver your.secondary.dns.ip
search your.domain.suffix
The last line is optional, but please do substitute those values for the ones that you use.
As far as a default route goes, just edit /etc/defaultrouter (may not exist) and put the ip of your default gw on a single line.

Need help recording Video over pre-recorded Audio

I'm making a music video, the audio has already been recorded, but I am having such a hard time trying to figure out how to record the video over it. I need to be able to hear the audio track while recording so I can sync it properly, but whenever I click on the 'Open Camera Import Window' button, it doesn't allow you to playback the audio. What is the easiest way I can go about this?
PS. If my question is vague or unclear, I'm sorry. Every person I have asked said they had no clue what I was asking.

Hi Rick,
Thank you for your response.....I have always done this process using other software for the videos....so the process here is different for me.
I pre record the audio first, then edit to remove all of the terrible sounds...breathing, mispoken words, etc...clean up the audio, then add a background music track all in Audacity. Then, I add that track in and record my video over it. I am creating a tutorial for a software company on how to use their software.
This may seem backward. My question now, I am in Captivate 7, I press video demo and it goes straight to recording the video before I have a chance to import the audio track. I need the audio track so I can get the video to follow the audio...if that makes sense.
Cheers...Robert
