8pre for input, MBP headphone jack as monitor... HOW???

I'm going to be running four microphones off of the 8pre and would really like to be able to monitor the audio via the MBP's headphone jack as opposed to the phones jack on the 8pre. In something like garageband, this is pretty simple to do, but I'm having a devil of a time finding how to do it with Logic Express.

I answered my own question. Aggregate device is the answer. One just must remember once it's set up in Audio/MIDI, you still need to tell Logic which ports to output from - that was my biggest stumbling block with this setup.

  • Very feeble sound through MBP headphone jack

    I've had my MBP travel with me outdoors for the past few weeks, and I recently discovered that the sound output through the headphone jack is very feeble- even at full volume. This was working all OK a few days back even during my travel. I've checked everything under System Preferences > Sound, read through numerous Internet articles but nothing or no one seems to be able to provide a clear solution to this. Not really sure if the jack has dirt lodged in it that may cause this (as some articles suggested)- I used a flashlight to look into the port and seems all clean.
    Please help. Any pointers would be appreciated.

    Teat with another earphone set.  Youe earphones may be the problem.
    Do a PRAM reset:

  • Noise through MBP Headphone Jack

    When I boost the gain through an outboard audio interface (Digidesign 003), the headphone jack seems to be outputting a bit of noise. The noise changes as the MBP is processes (sounds like the noise fluctuates with the hard drive movement).
    Is this normal?

    I'm curious - 'boost the gain' - do you mean the input gain on one of the mic preamps? 'headphone jack' - do you mean the headphone jack on the Mac?
    Do you have a reason to use the Mac's headphone jack while using the Digi 003?

  • Found solution for dust in headphone jack

    I've read several threads people wanting something to plug the hole at the headphone jack when not in use to keep dust from getting in and behind the screen. I too was worried about this and after several failed attempts at rubber stoppers-- I came up with something that works. I had a pair of cheap headphones (airline freebie) and of course the male input jack on them will not fit all the way down in to make the connection. But it does stay secure in the hole itself. So I just cut the male plug off of the cord and then cut as much of the top off as I could ---(it sticks up about an eigth of an inch). Now I just plug that in and it keeps the dust out and since it's black, it looks like it is part of the phone. And since it doesn't make the actual connection, it doesn't affect the sound output. Wish I could post a pic but I think you get the idea.

  • Quick fixes for a snapped headphone jack in the socket...

    Hi all!
    I have a snapped jack stuck in the headphone socket and was wondering what the options are! New phone/repair is impractical as Ill be buying a new phone when I get back from the hols but just need something to hold me over for a month or so.
    So far I've come to the conclusion that trying to remove the jack may make matters worse so im considering either using a Bluetooth headset or just buying a really cheap payg and call forwarding to that. The intention there is that I would carry both phones at all times.
    I'd prefer the Bluetooth option but not too sure if it would override the headphone jack??
    HELP!!
    (thanks in advance people!)

    Well,
    Exactly 9 days after my 3-month parts & labor warranty expired, my headphone jack failed. 9 days! I hoped it wouldn't happen, and believe me -- I babied this player. Heck, I only ever took it on the train to commute to work and on my way home.
    There are absolutely no warning signs. One day it was fine, the next I got intermittent sound out of one of the phones. That's all.
    Regardless, I still love this player, and hope that Creative will still honor the 3-month warranty as it just recently expired. And no, I'm not screaming class-action lawsuit, as I have faith in Creative -- they've done well by me in the past.
    Keep ya posted!
    I think Creative said it's a full year warranty for the headphone jack, not 3 months. But contact support first to confirm.

  • Any clever solutions for a broken headphone jack ?

    Wow. My year and a half old, always babied, iPod has a broken headphone jack. Probably not an uncommon issue, but what are my options?
    Is this a repair that my local Apple Store can handle or would I have to resort to some third party repair guru?
    Any chance of replacing the jack myself?
    Also, is it possible to take the audio from the docking jack on the bottom of the Pod and then use some funky adapters to get signal to the headphones?
    Just wondering what clever solutions some of you have found.
    Thanks to all.

    You can use the Apple Remote/FM Radio that connects to the dock connection and listen to it that way.
    You can have Apple repair it for a fixed rate, or you can go to http://www.ifixit.com http://www.ipodmods.com http://www.iresq.com and either have them repair it or order the parts and do it yourself.

  • Upgraded 2012 MACBOOK PRO 2.6Ghz 8GB RAM 750 GB an alternate for RETINA MBP 15 or NOT?How good is its potential, reliability ?

    I am a student and an aspiring filmmaker.I am also into digital cinematography (Canon 550D) and now will be venturing into editing. I am in DIRE NEED of help
    I have a few problems regarding the purchase of Macbook pro.I live in Kolkata(India).I have been waiting for the past 1 and a half years to buy a Mac but after the release of Retina Macbook pro 15.I am left confused. Its near unupgradability and unreparibility rumors, delayed delivery, and 1st generation hardware issues especially the lack of Optical drive made me reconsider my decision of buying one.
    I want to know whether I can go for the top model of Non Retina - 2.6Ghz 8GB RAM 750 GB 1 GB Nvidea as an alternate choice for Retina MBP pro or NOT ?
    1.I wanted to buy the Retina Base model. Though it is very recently launched and there is a big risk buying it because they say it is unrepairable and unfixable as 'everything is glued into the motherboard' dialogue scares me. Something goes wrong after purchase and they send it back to US, is what the Apple officials said. Moreover they don’t keep one on a demo at Apple stores in kolkata. I have searched almost everywhere and have been to many resellers in my city but no use.
    NOW,I am very sceptical about custom ordering a Macbook 15 non retina with High-Res 1680X1050p from US.I don’t know how much custom duty or expenses I have to pay and is it safe or not. Time is also a factor. Sadly, I have to buy one in Kolkata (my city) it seems.
    2. I am opting for Macbook Pro 15,2.6 Ghz,8GB RAM. Buying it for the sole purpose of editing(audio, video, photos).I need something which is fast along with a good screen size. My original decision was to buy the 17inch but after the launch of Retina and the upgraded 15 inch, I am only looking forward to the upgraded models. Many say 13 inch is fast, but it features a dual core with a maximum of 2.9Ghz clockspeed. I on the other hand want a quad core i7 with good upgradability options and a good screen size. The 13 inch may be a favorite for many, but I want nothing less than a 15 inch. One good option I get with non Retina 15 is its upgradability, while many say Retina MBP 15 can be made upgradable in future but that time is yet to come and by the time the whole web becomes ‘retina friendly’ and all applications supporting its 2880X1800 resolution, I may end up waiting only. Yes the picture quality remains unbeatable when compared to Retina Pro and it will always be. Though friends, I am a student, I want something which is fast, can run almost anything and future dependable. Retina Mac book Pro in India is 2799 USD - Base model. I cannot pay that amount just for the screen. As far as speed is concerned, I plan to get an OWC SSD and a 16 GB OWC RAM in the future resulting in greater speed when comparing the configuration with Retina 15.That problem is solved.
    My problem here is this: The web is filled with reviews and videos of Retina Macbook Pro and the upgraded Macbook Pro 15 is just no where, if you even find a few videos, they only feature unboxing videos of Macbook pro 15 (i7-2.3Ghz-4GB-500GB-500MB Nvidea).Other videos compare the 2.3ghz model with Retina 15 pro. They are not elaborate like the 15 Retina Pro reviews.
    1. I want to know about the real performance, potential, pros, cons of Macbook Pro 15 (i7 2.6Ghz 8GB RAM 750 GB 1GB Nvidea graphics).
    So my question to you is what is your opinion on the 15 inch non retina ? HOW FAST do you think is the new upgraded 15inch non retina i7-2.6Ghz-8GB-750GB model really is ?I have read on many mac forums and seen on a particular youtube video that 15inch 2.3Ghz model takes an alarming 40 seconds to start because of traditional hard drive ! A normal DELL Inspiron starts at 15 secs max with i3+4 GB RAM and this particularly confuses me about the whole quad core processing and stuff and speed when running applications like C6,FCP,Lightroom etc is to be determined in regard to the model I want to buy.
    2. Is it necessary to buy APPLE CARE WARRANTY when buying a laptop from Apple.What are the benefits and how is it different form the normal customer care ?
    3. Please enlighten me on some nice headphones from Sennheizer under 90 USD.I am considering Sennheiser HD 439.I am not a bass freak and I want something to use for listening to voice, loud clear. In short, a headphone for all purpose. I heard the HD 449 is not that good compared to HD 439.They say it is Jazz oriented. Another confusion  !
    Finally, If you know anyone who knows about this configuration (15inch 2.6 8GB RAM 750GB) and its performance than please help me out my friends. Any small detail, input, you feel like please let me know. Please help me be sure and satisfied am buying my Macbook Pro very soon and I am awaiting your response.

    Well, are you talking about a 750 Hard Drive or SSD?  If SSD (quite expensive) it will certainly be as fast.  One option is to get the smallest HD they have and with the Non Retina you can upgrade the HD to an SSD later or now but save a little money.  Check with iFixit or OWC for instructions.  HD's do take longer to start up and load, but once open, the processor and video work just the same as on the Retina model.  The SSD speed is nice, but really not critical.  So you have to wait a minute for your computer to boot up.  The other big question is you need to find out if the non-retina model will take 16GB of ram.  According to OWC's site, it will, 16GB for 150USD.  Once you get programs open and resident in ram, everything will fly.

  • Headphone jack processor noise

    Hello,
    I understand this is a long post but I do not know how to explain it any other way.
    Recently I was in the market for a display for use with FCE Digital Cinema Desktop Preview. Now, it becomes disconcerting to look at video full screen and have the audio coming from 20 degrees away. So I hooked up a half-baked way to send a copy of the audio to the line in jack of the display, and to one of those 5-year old all-in-one cd player/tape player stereoes everyone has lying around. It involves using an audio interface. (If you want instructions on how to set this up without cutting off your internal speakers, drop a line). So the audio interface I was using was borrowed just for the purpose of testing this.
    Now, for several reasons, I was obliged to buy something through Sweetwater, a pro audio mail order website. However, they did not sell a cheap audio interface, and in fact the cheapest it got was around $60, way above my budget. (This is an el-cheapo setup, if you hadn't realized.) So instead I ordered the $30 Behringer UCA-202 from Amazon.
    I still had to order something from Sweetwater, and after I ordered the audio interface, I got financial backing to buy hugely expensive $100 speakers. (That was sarcasm.) So, I had two pairs to choose between, one by alesis with an audio interface built in, but no line out, and one from m-audio with no interface, just RCA jacks. I was recommended the m-audios, by several people because of quality, and since I had bought the interface already, it made sense.
    By some act of god, the speakers came earlier than the interface, but I had had to return my borrowed interface. So, I just hooked them up to the headphone jack of my macbook pro to pump some music through them. I was so blown away by their quality, I decided to do away with the whole nonsense of my crappy internal and display speakers. The speakers, however, did not have the processor noise issue commonly associated with MBP headphone jacks, but I thought it was my mind. It didn't matter anyway, because I still had to use the interface with my old stereo system for unrelated reasons, which I knew FOR SURE had the noise problem, right?????????
    I did a side by side test of both the interface and headphone jack on both pairs of speakers involved, and then some. In all tests (and I have good hearing for these things) there was NO DIFFERENCE. I was also amazed to find my audio interface was only 16-bit, while the headphone jack was 24-bit.
    So here I am, feeling totally ripped off by both behringer and apple, and here are my options:
    1. Use the interface anyway (which I don't want to do because it is of lesser quality)
    2. Keep the interface because as soon as I'm out $5 dollars to ship it back, I'm only getting $25 dollars from the return, and more than likely the noise will start as soon as the UPS guy picks it up.
    3. Return it anyway, because there's no way in **** the processor noise will come back
    4. Find that this is so strange, that I'll just return everything and hunt around in a landfill for an interface to replace the borrowed one above. :=)
    I guess my real question is whether the noise will come back. I think it went away as a result of a ram upgrade & smc reset a few months ago, because I've not used the headphone jack since.

    Dear sirs,
    this is my first post! First of all, I am sorry form my terrible english (english is not my first language).
    I purchased my iMac very recently. This is the first experience with Apple for me. It is nice, in general, but I am experiencing a problem with the audio out (mini-jack used as analogical out). When I connect the audio output minijack of the iMac with a cable (very good cable) to my Behringer mixer audio input, I hear a noise (like a white noise). Not continuously, only when I scroll something in a window on the screen. In general every time there is something that change on the screen, I hear this noise (on both channels).
    As for BMBell1919 user the level of the noise "is not impacted by adjusting the computer volume".
    I am a little bit surprised! A lot of people in the professional audio broadcasting say that Apple manufactures nice products…but if the quality of the internal sound peripheral is this one…i think Apple probably changed the quality standard of design and production.
    Is there any one that have the same problem that I am experiencing? Any suggestion to solve it? Is it an hardware problem? It need service?
    Thank you for your attention.
    Bye.

  • Satellite Pro A200-18P - microphone / headphone jack not working with Vista

    Hi,
    I have installed Windows Vista onto this laptop which was originally an XP, but I have not got the headphone jack working.
    How do I turn it on or do I have to download it from toshiba website?

    Hi
    First of all you have to check if there is an special BIOS for Vista.
    As far as I know some A200 series needs BIOS which was released especially for Vista OS.
    I think the notebook needs Realtek sound driver.
    Therefore in control panel you should see the Realtek HD audio manager.
    Go there and you will see the mic and headphone jack on the right.
    Click right there and check if there are some settings which have to be enabled.

  • Imac headphone jack stopped working!?

    i have a 2.4GHz intel imac that is only about 6 months old and i had a headphone extender plugged into the headphone jack outlet on the back that i never touched. i unplugged it yesterday and re-plugged it in today and now the sound is not going through the headphone jack at all. i've tried using different sets of headphones without the extender, i've unplugged and plugged all cords, re-booted, etc. to no avail. i'm really frustrated as this computer is basically brand new! and i'm guessing to replace the jack is going to be a big job. has anyone else experienced this or know of a way to fix? i haven't run any disc utility programs...

    I just bought a brand new 24" iMac and the jack worked out of the box for about 1 week. Then yesterday it stopped working. I did some research in these discussion threads and found one about using a secondary cable between the external speakers and the imac. So, I plugged in my Monster cable splitter for sharing your headphone jack with a friend. The connection was more secure than when the speakers alone were plugged directly in. The Monster cable had not static or wiggle. Everything seems to be working again. So it appears to be a defect in the headphone jack tolerance in the iMac. I've tested the external speakers in 2 different ipods and it works fine with both of them.
    It ***** to have your new computer not work well out of the box, so if you truly want a mint machine, contact Applecare and see about replacement. Or you can try this easy fix. We'll see how long it holds up!
    Good Luck!
