Using usb mic with logic output stops

using usb mic with logic output stops

Aggregate devices are setup in the Audio/Midi setup of OSX Utilities, (Not in Logic). It gives you a way of having for than one audio i/o device. Once you have set up your aggregated devices in Audio/Midi, when you start Logic you will need to go into Audio preferences and choose the Aggregate device.

  • Can i use my snowball usb mic with Logic or Pro Tools???

    Can i use my snowball usb mic with Logic or Pro Tools???

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

  • USB mic in Logic

    is it possible to use a USB mic in Logic and if so, how do I get Logic to recognize it. It just shows up under input in Garage Band when plugged in but I don't see it in Logic

    Until Logic 9 you couldn't have separate input/output devices. You need to create an 'aggregate device.'
    See here for a guide on setting this up:

  • Using USB microphone with LE

    I currently use an M-Audio FastTrack Pro and an XLR condenser microphone. But setting is all up to record vocals is time consuming for my young son. I was thinking of getting a USB mic with a desk stand for him to use for recording his vocals. Anyone out there using Logic Express 8 and a USB mic? How do I set it up? Any suggestions for a good mic under $100?
    Thanks

    Best solution: Teach your son how to use the "right" mic. Sorry, but I would not recommend the USB thing-mic. If it's "just for play", buy any mic. If it's for real recording, stick to pro hardware.

  • Can I connect every USB-Audiointerface with Logic Pro?

    Hello there,
    please forgive me, if my english isn't so well.
    So, my "problem": I actually informated me over Logic Pro X, and by the provided Audiointerfaces, I didn't saw my Audiointerface.
    But - Can I simply connect a USB-Audiointerface with Logic Pro?
    So, hope you understand me,
    Best wishes, "toasbrot_55" (sorry for that name, i don't know when I did chosen this name)

    All Mac OS compatible audio interfaces work with Logic, and almost all USB interfaces are Mac compatible. So it depends on which interface you have (make and model), and which Mac OS version you use.

  • Can I use MainStage 2 with Logic Express 9.1.6

    Is it possible to use MainStage 2 with Logic Express 9.1.6.?  Are there any limitations to not having Logic Pro 9.  I'm very happy with LE9.1.6. as it meets all my needs (perhaps with the exception of not having Space Designer) but if I need to upgrade to get the most out of MainStage 2 then I will.
    Thanks.

    Actually I have found a way for at least the instrument plug ins to be accessed.
    I was able to set up an instance of Sculpture in MS2 and record it in LE using Soundflower.
    Route the audio from MainStage to Logic and record onto an audio track in Logic as follows:
    If not already installed, get SoundFlower. After installing it.
    A) Setup the sound you want in MS2 and audio output to Soundflower (remember to Apply Changes or it does not hold).
    B) In Logic Express set the audio input to Soundflower and create a new audio track for recording. Important: set Soundflower's audio output to however you listen to your audio or you won't hear anything.
    C) Press RECORD and start playing, LE captures Mainstage's sound.
    I have not tried to wire LE's output to MS2 to take advantage of Space Designer. but since this functions, I'm not sure why that couldn't work as well. It is still flipping though a few screens though...might just be easier to get Logic Pro from the App store....

  • Need to use pro mic with iPhone

    I'm producing a podcast with reporters throughout US and abroad. The iPhone would make perfect recorders but we need to use mics that are more professional. Is there an interface or device available to allow us to use better mics with the iPhone?

    Not really. It is theoretically possible but you would need an adaptor that could convert the standard XLR or TRS output of a higher quality mic to the specific TRRS input that the iPhone uses. From there, you would also need something with a better mic preamp that could go between the mic and this input adaptor.
    While I am aware of preamps that would work, I don't know of any adaptor that exists to get the job done. If you are looking for higher quality audio than the iPhone can produce, I would recommend using a stand alone handheld recorder for the mean time. I use and Olympus LS10 and its a great unit.

  • USB AT2020 microphone, used to work in Logic, has stopped

    I  have a USB AT2020 microphone. It works great in Garageband and it used to work in Logic. Recently, it has stopped working in logic, but continues to work in garageband. Sometimes when it is working my record option dissapears on my logic tracks. Any suggestions? I am fairly new to logic but have outgrown garageband. I use logic 8

    I also have an AT2020 USB mic and it works fine in Logic. Do you actually need an aggregate device for some reason? If you also want to use a USB interface with analog mics, for example, then you would need to make an aggregate device. If you only want to use the AT2020 for input, you should not need an aggregate device.
    Open the Audio MIDI Setup program (in the Applications/Utilities folder) and choose the Audio window. You should see a list of all available devices connected to your system and AT2020 USB should be one of them.If so, then it should also be available in Logic using the Input Devices dropdown menu under Preferences > Audio. You can just choose it there and you should be all set.
    But if you need to use an aggregate device, I have found that sometimes following a reboot that they are messed up. Just quit Logic, delete the aggregate device in the Audio MIDI setup application and create a new one. Now start Logic again and you should be able to choose it from the Audio preferences.
    If you want to adjust the level of the mic, use Audio MIDI setup again. Click on the AT2020 USB icon in the left pane of the window. You will see two sliders, one for each channel. Set them to whatever you like. You can even do this while Logic is running if you like.
    You can do the same thing with an aggregate device in Audio MIDI Setup. Click the little triangle next to the aggregate device in the left pane of the Audio Devices window, then click on AT2020 USB and you will again have volume sliders to adjust.

  • USB audio fault using vrm box with Logic pro X

    Hello,
    Having problems with audio output from both usb ports on my Macbook Pro - I have a VRM box connected to the usb port and sound is coming from the left side of my headphones only.  Any help / advice with this much Appreciated.
    Ian

    I'm afraid you have quite a learning curve ahead of you.
    MIDI is not audio, the MIDI tracks you record are not sound, they are little tiny bits of data that tells what key note was presses and how fast (velocity) you played it. The data you're recording will play any sound on any MIDI Instrument. To get the sound of the MOX8 -IN- Logic you would have to record the audio outputs of the MOX8 into Logic as an audio track.
    As with most Workstations you can set up a "Performance" mode that has different instruments on separate MIDI channels, this is for use with the Internal MOX8 sequencer but can also be used by an external sequencer like Logic. For instance, you could have different instruments on MIDI Channels 1 thru 9 and a drum set on channel 10, In Logic you could have ten tracks set to the MIDI channels you want to play on the MOX8... however, the sound would not be in Logic, the sound comes from within the MOX8. To actually get the sound in Logic you have to record it as an audio track. There are other more advanced methods but that's enough to think about. You will need to the Yamaha MOX8 manual and figure out how to set up a performance mode. 

  • Distortion with USB mic and Logic Pro/Garage Band

    I have read a ton of posts, but I have yet to find an answer to this question. I have a USB mic that used to work wonderfully before upgrading to Leopard. When I make a recording now, it usually works well for about 5 minutes, and then out of nowhere I get horrible distortion. I have read that if I changed the frequency from 48000Hz to 44000Hz it would correct the problem. It seemed to work, but the problem keeps coming back. If I switch the microphone profile from built-in mic back to USB Mic in Preferences>Audio, it corrects the problem for a little while. It happens in Logic, Garageband and any other program that I try to record to.
    I read in a Leopard update note that one of the past few upgrades was supposed to fix this issue, but it hasn't been fixed for me. Does anybody know of any solution to this problem? I would be greatly indebted to you!

    Nope. The larger buffer didn't work. What did work was running a cord out of the 1/4-inch jack from the direct box to a 1/4-to-1/8-inch adapter and then into the mic/line-in jack on my computer. I set GarageBand to use the built-in line-in and had no static problems. It's a stopgap until this gets fixed.

  • Make it easier to use Blue Snowball mic with Logic

    This post is intended for Apple to see. Perhaps this problem is fixed in Logic Pro/Express 7.2.
    The Blue Snowball was designed for GarageBand and works great with it, right out of the box.
    But trying to use it with Logic is like pulling teeth or debugging a Java program. 1. You have to create an Aggregate Device in Apple MIDI setup.
    2. Once you do that, you still record blank audio tracks unless you read the forum posts really carefully and find out that you can use I/O slot Input 3 or Input 4 on the audio track you want to record with the Snowball. Once you do that you're OK.
    My beef is that since Apple would love people to upgrade from GarageBand to Logic, and a few people will, and the Blue works great, right out of the box, with GB, your developers should figure out whether it's a relatively easy fix to make Logic Pro - and especially Express, the "logical" upgrade for most GB users - use the Blue Snowball right out of the box the minute they install Logic Express, Pro, or Logic Express Trial.

    I understand what you're saying about the "sound software principles", but you are probably an expert sound technician, and I'm not - yet. I have lots of learning to do. I come in as a musical person, a composer. I've also been a software developer at a "low" (i e industrial DP with Java, not C++ or Objective-C).
    I'm speaking from the point of view of a customer at the Apple store. Say he's a newbie, like me. He (or she) gets GarageBand and then, noticing that it's featured item at the Apple store, gets a Blue Snowball.
    A little later this person falls in love with digital music-making and downloads Logic Express Trial. Suddenly s/he finds that the Snowball records blank tracks. S/he complains, perhaps bitterly, to Apple or to her/his friendss about how this great microphone doesn't work with Logic. S/he is not used to reading forum posts, looking for FAQs, in short, doing all I had to do to find out how to make the Blue work.
    It's not software, it's marketing, and usability. If there are good reasons not to change Logic, then at least Apple - and/or Blue - should have an FAQ or an insert in the documentation telling you what to do to make your Snowball record if you upgrade from GB to Logic. It's simply not customer-friendly! And some people who get Logic Express will never understand or care about the software design and technology. Neither Apple nor Blue wants annoyed customers. I happen not to be an annoyed customer only because I hunted through the forums and figured out what to do.. and it was -anything- but intuitive!

  • Using Midi Mic in logic express

    I recently bought a midi microphone and when I go to record, I cannot hear the instrumentals through the headphone. it is only letting me use one device at a time. When I choose to hear the music, I cannot record and the other way around. Someone please give me a solution. thankyou

    You have to create an aggregate device:
    1. launch Audio Midi Setup;
    2. select the Audio pane and under the menu Audio choose Create Aggregate Device;
    3. in the new window type a name for your device;
    4. add (with the + button) the USB mic and activate Input;
    5. add internal audio and activate Input and Output;
    6. open Logic and, in the Audio preferences, choose the new created device;
    7. choose the right inputs and outputs.
    cheers
