Apogee Duet/ Logic 8 - Lose Right Channel Sound When Recording

Hi all. Using Logic Pro 8.0 on an Intel iMac, OS 10.11, with 2 Seagate Ext. FW Drives with an Apogee Duet.
Here's the problem that's recently developed and reoccurring more frequently when recording into Logic:
I plug guitar or a mic into channel 1 of the Duet ( have double checked everything connection-wise - all good)
I hear the signal from the input in both ears... everything fine so far.
I record or rehearse and all is well.
I stop the playback and then I only hear/monitor my current instrument or mic in one ear (usually the left - the right channel disappears. This has nothing to do with the headphone or speaker connections as all pre-recorded tracks are still coming out in stereo (both ears).
Sometimes if I just press play and stop, the missing side will reappear, but not always.
If I was just recording into channel 1 of the Duet and I encounter the problem, I physically unplug the source and put it into channel 2 and re-arm the input and/or the record and then I have 2 sides again... strange.
As well, when I use a Logic session template under this same setup, I can hear my guitar in both ears , but the moment I mute an effect in the channel strip I'm playing through... boom.... one ear/side is gone. I can only get it back by unmuting the effect or going through the above mentioned unplugging routine.
To sum up, I should be able to simply monitor my guitar or mic input in both ears (stereo) without it disappearing randomly. I know a guitar/mic is mono but you should be able to have it coming out both sides. It always worked until the Duet started acting up.
Lately, I also have been hearing strange artifacts and phasing when monitoring a LIVE source back through the Duet... this is intermittent but becoming more frequent. Previously recorded tracks are sounding ok.
Any tips or similar experiences? I'll give Apogee a buzz and see what they can offer.
Thanks all.
Dave

Hi,
Thanks for offering your tip... much appreciated. When setting Mono versus Stereo, are you referring to the little "circle" icons at the bottom of the channel strip, next to the "I" (input monitoring)?
I did have it set to mono, with a single meter in the mixer window channel strip and still had the right channel disappearing suddenly problem. Speaking of the mono/stereo circle icons, why is it that some channel strips show these icons but others don't? I have two guitar tracks that both play back fine, but one allows access to the mono/stereo select icon but the other doesn't display it. They're both identical in every other way.
My feeling is that this could be a Duet problem because of the thin phasey ring modulation sound and level changes that will appear suddenly while monitoring a clean input source moments after everything was just fine.
Maybe this is because I'm still on 8.0 and Tiger? I'm in the middle of a project and can't risk update problems right now. What do think about the latest Logic with Leopard....safe to do and still have access to previous Logic 8.0 session files?
Thanks for your kind advice!
Cheers,
Dave

Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?

Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?
Basically, i like to record videos of me singing and playing guitar or keyboard, but to get a good sound for the keyboard I'd like to be able to record the audio using MIDI sounds...
Ive got Logic, I've got M-Audio Fast Track Pro, into which i have my mic, guitar, and keyboard midi plaugged into. I can use it to record the mic and guitar on photobooth as they are audio inputs, however i can't use the midi sounds on the keyboard :/ I have tried having logic open with the desired MIDI sound selected whilst recording but it doesnt work...
Is there ANY way this is possible?
HELP PLEASE!
Thanks!

I Have just the same problem, if I shout very near the microphone i can just hear something, did you manage to solve the problem?

No sound when recording videos with iphone 4s - ios7

Since I have downloaded ios7 to my iphone 4s I am no longer getting any sounds when recording videos. When looking back at past videos I have recorded, they still have sound in the playback. I have tried resetting my phone and reseting it to factory settings. Any recommendations?

Hey Bryan3939!
If I'm reading this correctly, it sounds like you might be experiencing an issue with your microphone recording during videos. I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue:

TS3376 The microphone on my i-pad mini does not seem to hear/pick-up any sounds when recording videos, facetime etc. Has anyone else had this problem?

The micro phone on my i-pad mini seems to have stopped working. The unit has never been rough housed and is always kept in a safe environment....we can hear everything fine, but no one can hear us and it does not pick up any sounds when recording video. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

What am I doing wrong? No playback output - Apogee Duet / Logic Express 9

I have an Apogee Duet, using Logic Express 9.
I am getting NO output of anything when playing back a recording.
While recording a guitar thru Duet, I get output from my speaker (hooked up to 'OUT R" output of Duet). Logic Express 9 hears the input and the recording appears to be present.
When I attempt to playback I get NO sound whatsoever.
I have rechecked all my Preferences in both Logic & the Mac Sound System Preferences.

Tried all of the above. No change.
Seems the problem is that on the Maestro Mixer - I need the "To Hardware" set to "None". Why is this? When set to "Out L-R" I get nothing any time from Output except while playing something into the Duet inputs.
I also tried playing a Youtube video and an iTunes song and I get nothing from the Duet Output. I have tried Headphones through the Duet Headphones output jack. I have tried powered speakers thru both the Output-R and the Headphones output.
When I plug a guitar in the Duet Input, I get sound from the Duet Output as I am playing.
Only when the "To Hardware" is set to "None" do I get sound outputting from computer. Can someone tell me what's going on? What's the Out L-R for then? Obviously I am really really new to all this.
Here are some of the settings I have:
MacBookPro
System Preferences / Sound / Output / "Duet (0612) - Firewire
Settings for the selected device: "The selected device has no output controls:
Output volume set at 50%
No Mute checked
Show volume in menu bar - checked
System Preferences / Sound / Sound Effect
Play sound effects through = Duet (0612)
System Preferences / Sound / Input / Duet (0612) - Firewire
Maestro Mixer - Duet (0612)
To Hardware = None
(When set to Out L-R is when I get no sound)
Maestro Control - Duet (0612)
When OUT Mute is engaged - both Speaker and Headphones checked
When OUT Mute is not engaged - nothing checked
Logic Express / Preferences / Audio / Devices
Core Audio
Enabled - checked
Output Device = Duet (0612)
Input Device - Duet (0612)
I/O Buffer = 256
Universal Track Mode, 24-bit Recording, Software Monitoring - checked
Logic Express / Preferences / Audio / IO Assignments
Output / Stereo / Output 1-2 (Stereo Output)
Logic Express / Options / Audio / Open Apogee Control Panel
Output = -28dB
Level = Line -10dBV
Mute - not checked
Mute Behavior - Mute Main Output & Headphones
Meter / Display shows - Input
Overload Hold - 2 seconds
For what it's worth, my sole focus for the time being is simply recording audio (either vocal and drums mic'd through XLR Inputs or guitars/bass through Instrument Inputs) and mixing. I am not interested in software instruments, although I might try and add an effect to a guitar at some point.
Not getting playback after recording something has been driving me nuts.
Thanks

Help! Apogee Duet / Logic

Hello,
I got the new Apogee Duet last week, and I love it. Tonight, I started noticing a lot of distortion whenever I try playing software instruments through Logic and listening through the headphone jack of the Duet. Everything sounds perfect if I plug my headphones into my computer, so I'm guessing it's the Duet. Has anyone else had the same trouble and solved the problem?
Thank you!
Brian

Pjberry,
The Ensemble was a great choice for me.Very punchy pro quality D/A A/D that is said to be just shy of the Rosetta series. Since the latest drivers for 10.4.11 and 10.5 have come out I installed these and had immediate increased stability and responsiveness of the included mixer and configuration software. The Mic pre's are more than passible and can even be preferred over costly outboard gear at times. 75 db of gain plus soft clip to avoid a stray +20 peak. ( you can still clip it but it's a little harder.) The built in sample rate conversion came in handy and the balanced inserts work great with outboard compressors and EQ. The integration into the Mac Core Audio is really nice. You adjust the computers volume and the Ensemble just talks direct and follows.
I found the output amps slightly noisy but I put a Mackie big Knob and now the Ensemble is not wide open for monitoring so the noise is perfect now.
I had an 828mk2 before it died and the Ensemble is a cut above,far better fidelity and stability on the FW buss.
The Duet has the same D/a A/d and the same mice pre's.
Have to deliver in Protools format? Get an Mbox and save for the DV toolkit for Timecode
Run this on a separate machine. Not sure if you used the same Machine , if the drivers of the Ensemble and the USB drivers for the Mbox can live together but I would like to find out.

Saffire clicking sound when recording

I am having a problem with my Saffire. I just got it in today.
I set it up, connected my mic, played around with it to learn the controls, etc. So I load Logic Pro 7.2, and I record on track 1. I then listened to the track playback in my headphones connected to the Saffire. So no problems recording on track 1.
Having only one mic connected to my saffire, I go to track 2, and set it for input 1. I start to record track 2, and I hear a clicking sound. The audio is recorded to track 2, but the entire time recording, I hear this click sound that wasn't there when I was recording track 1.
I thought I maybe did something wrong, so I started a new song. Recorded on track 1 with no problems. Then went to record track 2, I hear the clicking sound during the recording. Playing back both tracks recorded, there is no clicking sound.
Anyone know why this is so? I'm using a MacBook 2.0GHz Core Duo, 2GB ram, recording on the internal drive. I downloaed the universal binary versions of the plugins and software for the saffire, and have the latest firmware. Running the latest version of Mac OS.
Also, when I'm in the saffire control app, I can't choose Preferences from the menu. It's grayed out. Is this normal?
Thanks,
Bryan

It's rythmic clickin.. sounds like a metronome, but I don't have one playing. I even deleted the click track. Also, I created a new song.. and I hear the clicking even recording the first track if I have the playback in my headphones. So if I have my Saffire control panel set to TRACK, I hear the clicking when I'm recording to Logic.
I didn't change the I/O buffer size, I'll have to check to see what it's on.

No sound when recording videos iphone4

Hello,
When i record videos with my Iphone 4 there is no sound when i read them and, when i try to use the speaker during calls my correspondants don't hear me.
Any clue about this ?
Thanks

Hello Kboum,
It sounds like the microphone on your phone is not functioning correctly in either the Camera app or the Phone app. I recommend the troubleshooting for it in the article named:
iPhone: Microphone issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
Make sure nothing is plugged in to the jack connector.
Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (see the pictures below to locate the microphones on your device)
Make sure none of the microphones is obstructed by dirt or debris.
Turn the iPhone off and then on.
Make sure that the latest version of iOS is installed.
If necessary, find general iPhone hardware troubleshooting suggestions.
For further assistance, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Bad sound when recording presentation in keynote with animation

When recording audio for a presentation, in a slide with some animated objects the recorded voice explaining the slide sounds crasping or double with lot of noise while the animation is taken place, after the animation the recording it's ok again.

I have it set to 44.1kHz and "4ch-24bit". The only other option for the bit depth is "encoded digital audio".

Gaps in sound when recording

Hi 'all',
I have gaps in the sound when I record with Audition.
I dit chance the audio hardware took a new Harddisk and put a new system on it (XP) The only software on it is Audition 3.0 and CD Architect. Chanced the DMA from 6 to 5. Still the Gaps,...?! Nou I'm lost.
Hope there is someone to help.
Friendly greetings,
Cees

There was a new driver, there was a new driver. I didn't verify a rumour. So stupid of me. I installed the new driver and it works again! Your remark about the driver made me think, so I investigated this driver issue and solved the problem, thanks to your remark ofcourse. How drivers are a sensibility-issue in the computer world. My tape machines luckily don't need no stinkin' drivers.
Thanks again!
Greetings,

How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio from garageband be the sound when recording and not just your normal voice but garage band effects for youtube?

How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio form garageband be apart of the video when recording, meaning the audio from garageband and echo and not just your normal voice for youtube post?its not add the garageband audio its just normal voice from mic no effects is going thru?

Hi Life93,
What you describe would be possible by recording your video, then removing the audio from it and adding audio from GarageBand once the video is in iMovie (I presume here that you are using iMovie for your video production. Other applications may need different methods.)
See this thread on how to remove the audio from a clip in iMovie -

No sound when recording videos 4S

Just got my 4S today and have found that every time I record a video it doesn't record the sound. There is a sound on playback, like a crackling or like a old projector noise. Has anyone else had this?
I can use Siri, I can play youtube videos back but I just can't get sounds to record with my video.

I rung apple and they are sending me out a replacement. I must say I was very impressed with the customer service. I was on the phone for less than five minutes (would have been quicker if I could remember my phone number!) and I received an email saying they will be sending me the replacement quicker than they told me on the phone.

My iPod only outputs right channel sound...

This issue has been plaguing me for a while now, but my iPod's finally had it and is absolutely not outputting sound out of one channel. The left channel in this case. Previous fixes mainly were to press on the iPod in various places, looking for that sweet spot. Once this spot was found, sound would start playing out of the left channel again.
This solution no longer works.
So, what do I do now? My Warranty's long expired, so...

have you trouble-shot the problem using different sets of headphones to make sure it really is your ipod that's broken, and not just the headphones? if so, iresq is the way to go.

Problem Recording Sound when Recording Video with iSight

I am trying to make a short movie using iMovie '08 (ver. 7.1.4) with my built-in iSight camera and built-in mic on my iMac (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). I want to post this short movie in my MobileMe gallery.
I am able to record and view the video (event) using the iSight camera. However, I cannot get the movie (as I record the video) to pick up any sound.
The mic appears to be working okay: when I click on the microphone icon in iMovie, a "VOICEOVER" window appears. In this window, the "Record From" box shows "Built-in Microphone" selected and the Left/Right bars below shows green increasing/decreasing as I speak.
Nevertheless, I cannot get iMovie to record any sound. Obviously, I am missing some setting or process. Would someone kindly give me a little direction here? Thank you, Dale

The mic wasn't selected in the System Preferences. In the Sound pane, the "Line In" had been selected. Instead, the "Internal microphone" should have been selected. When I made this change, the mic worked fine. Dale
