My audio stops outputting after a few songs in a playlist - itunes says its still playing, stopping and starting track recommences audio output. Mac book Pro Lion 16gb ram. Can be any song, any time, same song will play if I select it again. Bit of a bummer itunes is the main thing I use (macbook pro jukebox).

Most likely culprit is your Lacie drives which are notorious for flaky power supplies which cause just the sort of erratic behaviour that you describe. Have had similar issues myself. Lacie has been good about replacing my power converter-- twice. If you have seven of them, good luck finding the bad one or more. Like I said, the behaviour is erratic. Sometimes it'll work sometimes not. I can't comment on Samsung drives because I've never used them and have never heard anything about them. Same with Softraid. Why not just use Disk Utility. Sounds like you're ready for an external hardware raid. This will be much faster, much more reliable, and may even be cheaper than seven firewire drives. Check out G Tech, and Maxx Digital for starters.
Best of luck

Audio In on Mac Book Pro

Curios if anyone could tell me if the audio in is a balanced connection. This wouold be for the connection of a microphone, via xlr (3 pin microphone cable) to 1/8" trs. I recently came accross a cable made by Monster exclusively for mac to connect microphones to garage band. I noticed the 1/8" side looked to be a balanced trs connection. I was unsure if my Mac Book pro supported that type of cinnection. I am pretty recording savy and I have yet to see a mnin 1/8" Trs this is why i ask.
thanks

Kudos to figuring it out yourself.
Yes, Logic is geared to the professional user, you will need to set up the program to your particular way of working, Logic was well developed for professional use long before Apple purchased it, it's not an Apple program per se. It's complex and offers a myriad number of choices so that it can be configured to many styles of working, there's often 3 or 4 ways to perform the same function.
Logic insists the user educate themselves... which is a good thing.
Here ya go!

"Exploring Logic Pro" is a good one to start with.

How to play 5.1 audio with my Mac Book Pro Retina?

I recently received several DVD's that have 6 channel LPCM 24/192 and 24/96 sound. I have tried many alternatives but to no success. I will appreciate any suggestions... Sincerely, Joe Ray Skrha [email protected]

How are you ripping the video and audio from the DVD? You can't import stuff from a video DVD into an NLE without converting it to a workable format. If you use something that will give you ProRes files, and the audio is surround sound, FCPX will edit surround sound natively. As for playing it back in surround sound, you'd need a USB interface that connects to a surround sound system.

AUDIO SAMPLES FROM IOMEGA 100 ZIP DRIVE TO MAC BOOK PRO / LOGIC?

Posted: Fri, Feb 15 2013, 1:27pm Post subject: AUDIO SAMPLES FROM ZIP 100 TO MACBOOK PRO / LOGIC?
HI THERE
I HAVE LOADS OF OLD AUDIO SAMPLES ON ZIP DISKS ( ZIP 100 using akai cd3000 sampler ) THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TRANSFER TO MY MAC BOOK PRO FOR LOGIC EX24.
IS IT A SIMPLE CASE OF A 'SCSI TO USB LEAD' , WILL MY MAC BOOK PICK IT UP FROM THERE OR DO I NEED SOFTWARE OR DRIVERS FOR MY MAC TO BE ABLE TO SEE THEM?
IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE AT ALL?
THANKS

Hi guys
Sorry for the delay in coming back. I bought a zip drive pretty cheaply then and it has only just turned up. However when I put my old ZIP disks in, it seems like the ZIP drive reads them at least but the MACBOOK comes up with the following message...
'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer'
Does this pretty much mean a no go then? Or can I put the samples from my AKAI sampler back through the old ZIP drive, reformat some new disks in a certain way on that drive so that my MAC can read them?
All its for really is mainly to take old tracks that used these samples and getting them set up in my mac. Also there was some good bits and pieces there anyway and would like to keep using those samples for newer projects. I could of coourse resample them from the AKAI straight to the MAC but would be not as practical and would take alot longer. The 13'' macbook pros input is not digital, only its output.
thanks

I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?

I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?
The firewire port reads the dj software and I can hear music playing through the sound card when I plug my headphones into it but there is no signal to the hardware (my dj mixer).
I have reset the firewire by turning off my mac book pro for a few hours and can see the sound card device in the fire wire section after clicking on the apple icon on the top left corner of my mac.
My dj mixer works on another mac computer with the same soundcard and different firewire cable.
Hope someone can help
Thanks
Wayne

kmiddlet88,
yes, it could be due to nearly anything listed in your kernel extensions, startup items, launch daemons, launch agents, or user items above. Please check all of your installed third-party software to make sure that the versions which are installed on your MacBook Pro are compatible with Mavericks; uninstall every software package which isn’t Mavericks-compatible. After you’ve done that, boot into Safe mode, and see if you still get the beach ball of doom there. If it doesn’t appear there, restart normally and see if it appears then.

Audio over HFMI on a 2009 Mac Book Pro - which cable?

Got a Mac Book Pro (2009), want to connect to my Panasonic tx l32d25b with tech link wires - visual works but no audio - does anybody how to make the audio work? Rich

You'll need an adapter that combines video from the mini-Displayport and audio from the headphone port or a USB port into a single HDMI cable. Here are two:
http://kanexlive.com/products/iAdapt51.html
http://kanexlive.com/products/iAdapt20.html
The first carries 5.1-channel surround sound from the headphone port; the second carries ordinary 2-channel stereo from a USB port.

Audio out on HDMI from mac book pro?

Soundproblem: Mac Book Pro with M-Audio Fast Track pro.

Powerbook: Mac Book pro 10.6.8., 2,66 Ghz, Intel Core i7, 4GB
Interface: M-Audio: Fast track Pro
Version 1.8.1.
I have a problem with the M-Audio Interface with the Mac-Pro via USB. It sounds as if the speaker is broken. The Powerbook works normal - via intern soundcard no problem. The Interface, too. I checked it with my Mac Pro (Mac Pro, 10.5.8, 2x 2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel, 8GB Ram,) no problem!
Ger: Seit neuestem Krächzt und rauscht der Sound über das M-Audio Interface, als wären die Speaker durchgeknallt. Lief sonst immer ohne Probleme. Weiss nicht ob es an 10.6.8 oder dem M-Audio liegt? Der Rechner läuft sonst einwandfrei - interne Audio läuft tadellos. Das Interface genauso - auch meinem festen Rechner Mac Pro, 10.5.8, 2x 2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel, 8GB Ram,

No problem, you need to select an audio track and select input monitoring if you want to hear something and of course recording (the first two square buttons in the track, marked I and R) and plug your headphones into the M-Audio otherwise you won't hear anything (as mentioned above) cause that is what the m-audio is for, it replaces your computer's sound card. And unless you set up some aggregate device your computer's sound card will not work...and (nearly forgot) if you plug in your guitar in one channel you need to select a mono audio track to record otherwise it will be only on one side.

M-Audio FireWire 1814 Interface & a Mac Book Pro...

Hello,
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

Today my M-Audio iControl play button stopped working on my Mac Book Pro after I unplugged the USB cord.

Hello,
Today my M-Audio iContol play button stopped working after I unplugged it from the USB port and then plugged it back in. I have a Mac Book Pro Mac OS X 10.7.3 and I only use it for Garage Band. The iControl will only play a very short snippet of a song then shuts off? (Like a millisecond) My space bar works fine as well as the GB play button using the mouse. I have searched for the GB preference files listed on some blogs but I cannot find them...help please!! One more thing, I plgged the iControl into my other Imac and it works fine so the iControl is ok.
Thanks!

I have searched for the GB preference files listed on some blogs but I cannot find them...help please!!
In MacOS 10.7.3 the User LIbrary is hidden. To find the Preferences Files use the Finder "Go" menu:
Click onto you Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
In the Finder Menu press "Go" and hold down the "option/alt" key, until your user library appears in the drop-down menu
Select "Library" and in the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Prederences" folder; move com.apple.garageband.plist to the Desktop.

'Optical out' audio drop out on Mac Book Pro

This is driving me INSANE!
First of all I'll give you my mac book pro details:
Mid/late 2010 MBP 2.66 i7 with 8GB RAM, on snow leopard 10.6.8
Here's the problem. Basically, my audio keeps dropping out. Upon a bit of research I can see the output device is switching from 'internal speakers - built in' to 'digital out - optical digital-out port'. I didn't even know my mac book pro had an optical digital output, as it doesn't appear there is one. However there's a red light that goes off and on, or sometimes flashes, more or less in unison with the drop outs and the switching of the output device. This also shows as when I try to adjust the volume, it doesn't let me and shows the sign with a line through it, as if I was using an external soundcard. It is incredibly frustrating as I can't do simple things such as watch a youtube video or play music on itunes.
Sometimes if I go from not using my mac, e.g. over night, then open it up and play itunes it will be fine. However when I open safari and start browsing or playing things via youtube the problem does seem to get worst. It also seems to cause my mac to freeze up a bit, I'm guessing as it's trying to switch devices.
I don't really know what to do, searching online hasn't really yielded anything useful.
Thanks, Christian.

Nobody ?
