Cannot record with M-Audio "Mobile Pre"?

Just updated to GB 10.0.3 and OS 10.10.1  Now I cannot record tracks using M-Audio "Mobile Pre" USB pre amp interface as I used to. The Pre works fine with Audacity as in the past. Is there a fix for this in Garage Band by any chance? Thanks for any advice.

Did you install the latest drivers?

  • Please help with m-audio mobile pre driver not connecting with garageband08

    hey i just updated my powerbook G4 with leopard and lost my m-audio (mobile pre) driver in system preferences so i downloaded it b/c i don't have my original disc, the downloaded version shows in my system preferences now but won't appear in the garageband preferences audio/midi input, my only choices are built in mono/sterio. any ideas? besides finding the disc? i'd really appreciate any help as my band is trying to record a cd.

    Yeah, the Mobile Pre is not going to work on Leopard until M-Audio updates their drivers, unfortunately.
    There is one workaround that I've gotten to work, but it probably won't work for most folks. If you have two partitions on your system, one with Leopard and one with Tiger, you can get the mobile pre to work in Leopard. It's a bit odd, but it does work.
    First, boot into you Tiger partition that has the Mobile Pre drivers installed and verify that the system sees and can use the Mobile Pre.
    Now, boot into Leopard. Your Leopard system should now see the Mobile Pre and you should be able to use it until you have to reboot the Leopard system.
    If you have an external HD with Tiger installed, you might also be able to get this to work w/out having to repartition your system. Just install Tiger on the external HD, boot from it, then install the Mobile Pre drivers.
    Hope this helps and possibly provides some temporary relief until M-Audio updates their drivers....

  • ASIO problems with M-Audio Mobile Pre

    Hi, I am using Adobe Audition 3.0 with an M-Audio Mobile Pre interface.
    I know this interface supports ASIO. However, it doesnt register as an ASIO when working with Audition. Hence I am getting some serious latency issues when working with Audition.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks

    The Mobile Pre works well with Audition when using the ASIO driver from m-audio.com. Unfortunately, I don't think they've released a Vista comaptible ASIO driver, and last time I checked, they didn't intend to. If you're using Windows Vista, you may need to use the ASIO4ALL driver if you want a little better performance then the default DirectSound wrapper provides. You can find this at www.asio4all.com.

  • Funny latency with M-Audio Mobile Pre USB

    Hi,
    I'm using an M-Audio MobilePre USB interface with Garageband, and I'm 99% certain that GB is doing something funny with latency. I'll record a clip, finish recording, and it'll do some funny compensation where it assumes that there is latency there where there is none, so it shifts the clip left by a few milliseconds (enough to sound sloppy). In every case where I record from the Mobile Pre USB, I find that if I shift the clip right by a few ticks, it'll sound like it did when I was recording it. Is this a known issue, and, if so, is there any way to calibrate it? Otherwise I'm left manually adjusting clips.
    Thanks!

    Hi there,
    As you can see I believe I am having a similar problem except I am using a Fastrack Pro. Hopefully you will get a response that may also help me.

    Hi there,
    I am new to Mac so bear with me. I have just purchased a Macbook Pro with Logic Express 9. I also purchased an M-Audio Fast Track Pro to connect my instruments. But I have a problem. I can't seem to record anything through the M-audio interface. I ran a test and can record using the internal microphone (which I then turned off).
    I have loaded the drivers and the O/S sees it. I check in Logic Express 9 and it sees the interface. In the Mac system preferences it sees the M-Audio USB line input but when you highlight the line it says "the selected device has no input controls". In the Logic Express preferences the Logic software sees the M-Audio device.
    Would appreciate any suggestions as to why this is happening. Suspect I am just missing a setting or two.

  • I connect my mic with an M-audio mobile pre usb device.  When I try to record, I can see that my voice is recording but can't hear it during playback.

    I connect my mic with an M-audio mobile pre usb device.  When I try to record, I can see that my voice is recording but can't hear it during playback.  I tried different input and output settings but it didn't help.  Any help will be appreciated.

    Hear your microphone or instrument as you play and record (monitoring)
    You can hear, or monitor, input from an instrument or microphone in GarageBand while you play and record. When you turn on monitoring for a track, you hear the musical instrument or microphone connected to the track’s input. Monitoring lets you hear yourself play so that you can hear the part you want to record as well as the rest of the project.
    You can turn on monitoring for a Real Instrument track or Electric Guitartrack from the track’s header, or in the Track Info pane. Electric Guitar tracks always show their monitoring buttons, and you can show monitoring buttons for Real Instrument tracks using a menu command. You can use monitoring with feedback protection to avoid feedback while you play.
    Hide
    To turn on monitoring in the track header:
    Choose Track > “Show Monitoring for Real Instrument Tracks.”Monitor buttons appear in the headers of Real Instrument tracks. On tracks with monitoring turned on, the button lights yellow.
    Click the Monitor button in the header of the track you want to use.
    HideTo turn on monitoring in the Track Info pane:
    Double-click the header of the Real Instrument or Electric Guitar track you want to turn on monitoring for.The Track Info pane opens.
    From the Monitor pop-up menu, choose one of the following:
    Choose Off to turn off monitoring. You can hear your instrument only while you record.
    Choose On to turn on monitoring and protect against feedback.
    Choose On (no feedback protection) to turn on monitoring without feedback protection. If the input level is too high, it may cause feedback (especially if you are using a microphone and listening to your project through your computer speakers).
    For an Electric Guitar track, you can view the Monitor pop-up menu by clicking Edit, and then clicking the back side of the amp. The Monitor pop-up menu appears with the input controls below the stage.
    You should usually turn off monitoring when you are not playing or singing. When monitoring is turned on, your computer can pick up output from your speakers or monitors, causing unwanted feedback. Using headphones rather than speakers to listen to your projects can help eliminate feedback.
    If you select your computer’s built-in microphone as the audio input, in the Audio/MIDI pane of GarageBand preferences, monitoring is turned off for all Electric Guitar tracks to avoid unwanted noise.

  • M Audio Mobile Pre USB Problems!?

    Hi again,
    Short term until the upgrade is decided upon any help with the problems we're having with our M Audio mobile pre usb would be greatly appreciated.
    First off if the charger is plugged into the ibook whilst the sound card is plugged into USB and a guitar is connected you get electric shocks from the guitar strings?!?! happens with a number of guitars! Stops happening if you unplug the charger and run off the battery!
    Secondly.....and this doesn't happen all the time but probably about half the time there's lots of interference when recording.
    Software we're using is garageband 2.
    Part of me thinks there must be something really wrong as surely this isn't right even with a relatively cheap external box.
    thanks all
    Noel

    Noel,
    I think that's not normal at all.
    My first move (if it's new) is: run to the shop and swap it! And test the new one!
    If not, report it to the M-Audio assistence team.
    Also, I'm assuming you have earth on your plugs.
    Yeah, you gotta be 'right, cheap doesn't mean electric shocks, EVER!
    ...not even your toster. :o)
    Hope you solve it quick.
    Peace mate,
    Jorge

  • No Playback sound, M-Audio Mobile Pre usb

    Hi, I have searched and read alot of topics here, but I can't see any related to my Audiotion Issue.
    I can record in Audition and I see the peak of my recording etc.
    But when I hit play button to hear what I have recorded, No sound at all.
    I use winxp, M-Audio Mobile pre USB soundcard.
    I hear music when I try with media player etc, but not in Audition.
    Any ideas?

    I couldn’t record with Audition 3.0.  I recorded using Audacity which came with the turntable. I saved the tracks as WAV. I updated my sound card software and now in  Edit > Audio Hardware Setup I have Creative ASIO as an Audio Driver choice. I use that in Edit and now I can edit the tracks recorded in Audacity. I still can’t record or hear my LPs in Audition. So, I left Multi-Track and Surround Encoder with Audition 3.0 Windows Sound. The turntable is listed as Speakers (USB Audio Codec) 1 & 2. When I change Edit from Creative ASIO to Audition 3.0 Windows Sound the Default Input is Microphone (USB Audio Codec) and the Default Output is Speakers (USB Audio Codec).  Using Audition 3.0 Windows Sound I can’t see or hear the LP music. When I change the Edit setting to Creative ASIO I can hear the music that I have recorded using Audacity. How do I fix it so that I can record in Audition? I have Audition 3.0. Is there an update for Audition?

  • M-Audio Mobile Pre USB technical issue

    When recording through the M-Audio Mobile Pre USB interface, I get random "pops" added to my tracks. This happens no matter if I'm using mics, going in through the 1/4" jack, or going in through the stereo line-in. I believe an earlier thread (months ago, for which I searched unsuccessfully), suggested setting the appropriate audio in/out preferences and re-launching GB as a possible solution. I've tried this, and also restarting my computer after resetting prefs, but it doesn't solve the problem.
    This didn't always happen, and I use my equipment carefully.
    Any other ideas? I'm assuming it's a problem with the interface, not GB.

    Thanks for that link...that's what I saw months ago, and I realize I got a few of the specifics mixed up. UNFORTUNATELY, I tried those tips and I still have the exact same problem. I also went to M-Audio and downloaded the most recent driver. I did a variety of starts and re-starts where the unit was connected or not upon start up...whether phantom power was on or off at start up, etc etc. And by start up I mean both starting GB only, and/or starting up my Mac. I tested using the interface through both of the USB ports. All yield the same result. The only thing I didn't test yet is changing the USB cable itself.
    Any more thoughts? You think the interface is bad?

  • M-Audio Mobile Pre USB audio interface compatibility w/ FCP

    I am trying to do voiceovers in FCP with my mic connected to the XLR input on a M-Audio Mobile Pre USB audio interface.
    The first time I did this, even though I got a signal in System Preferences audio input, I would get no signal in the Voiceover Tool window in FCP. I know I chose the correct source, input and rate for the device. I rebooted and it worked. Then on another day a reboot would not make it work. Now I can’t make it work again. Upon opening FCP with the USB interface connected OSX crashed. This almost never happens ether with the system in general or since I installed FCP 5.1. This has happened twice. I also started this whole process by updating to the newest driver for the M-Audio device. I liked the sound I got when it worked so any help with this problem would be appreciated.

  • Connecting 2 USB Devices for recording in GarageBand blue yeti and M-Audio Mobil pre. will they both work together one track each?

    I Have set my Audio Midi Setup under Audio Devices to Aggregate Devices and selected M-Audio MobilPre USB and Blue Yeti Microphone.
    I plugged my MobilPre into one USB port on my MacBook and the Blue Yeti Mic into the other USB on my MacBook. So I have two inputs
    and I set each device for OUTPUT as the HeadPhones from the Blue Yeti Mic. I still cannot record the vocals on the blue yeti and the Guitar on the MobilPre
    At the same time even though both show the rec button is active on both. What do I need to do to get these to both work recording at the same time?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "mixed with audio in Alsamixer". Can you clarify?
    With that said, my problem did mysteriously fix itself after some update (presumably to alsa). Unfortunately, I noticed it in passing one day while I was changing the volume of something in pavucontrol, so I don't remember the exact update that caused it to work. But yes, my current setup does work now: I can listen to audio through my DAC and use the Yeti for recording. However, I have found that use of the Yeti crashes Google Hangouts, although it works perfectly in every other program I've tried.
    As documentation, here is my current working setup (it is very similar to the above): in PulseAudio, the DAC is set to be a Digital Stereo (IEC958) output. The Yeti (called an 'Integrated Rate Matching Hub' in pavucontrol) is set to be an Analog Stereo Input. In the input devices section, I have the Yeti's volume set to around 58% (-14.31 dB), which is past the base volume a fair ways but produces decent levels for recording. The DAC's volume is set to 100% (0dB gain, the DAC takes care of the level). In alsamixer, I have the mic level for the Yeti set to 40.
    Edit: This is a long-time-later edit, but let me say that when you have multiple USB audio devices, what USB hub and in what order they are connected seems to matter a great deal. If you can't get your Blue Yeti to work, try moving it to a different set of USB ports (controlled by a different controller) on your motherboard. This magically fixes the issue for me.

  • Logic Pro X all of a sudden can't detect input from M-Audio Mobile Pre

    I was recording guitars when I had to step away for a while. I closed the lid on my MBP and left. When I came back, all of a sudden, Logic can't detect any inputs coming from my USB interface. I have tried everything from rebooting, switching to the other input on my interface, updating drivers, but nothing seems to work. What's worse is whenever I start Logic with my interface plugged in, Logic gets stuck at Checking MIDI Drivers. If I unplug my interface, Logic would start fine, but if I plug my interface back, Logic won't detect it.
    I am using the M-Audio's input while I am using the Built-In Output on the MBP (I don't have monitor speakers). It was working fine before.
    I am using a Mid-2012 MBP 15" on OSX Mountain Lion and an M-Audio MobilePre MKII USB interface.

    In this exact order
    1) Unplug MobilePre
    2) Remove it's drivers using the uninstall routine that is in the Driver DMG image ... 
    Note: If you get a message about it cannot uninstall.. Restart your Mac and then try to uninstall again...
    3) Restart your Mac after you have uninstalled the drivers..
    4) Reinstall latest drivers......
    5) Restart Mac..
    6) Wait until Mac has restarted and then plug in MobilePre...
    It should then be correctly recognized and work....

  • Recording with M-Audio Fast Track  USB Audio Interface

    New Mac owner and am completely lost. I am wanting to record guitar and vocal tracks into GB and when I plugged in the M-Audio I could see a wave file when after I hit the record button but I couldn't hear anything. I selected it as the default for input and output and turned the monitor on...but am getting zero sound. HELP!

    I actually just picked one up and this is what the process is...
    I must reiterate the first line... Do not install any of the packaged software as it does not help, or do anything beneficial... just use Garageband.
    This is to record a plug in guitar.
    IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LOAD ANY DISCS THAT COME WITH THE DEVICE
    1. Connect M-Audio Fast Track USB to appropriate USB port on computer.
    ex. MacBook Pro - use forward port (port furthest away from display)
    Also, see note 2 for M-Audio knowledge base, support etc...
    2. Open System Preferences and:
    -Select M-Audio Fast Track USB icon
    -Select "About" button and note Audio Firmware version
    -Select "Updates" to open M-Audio web site
    -Select: USB Audio Series<Fast Track USB< MAC OS 10.5.7 (or appropriate operating system)
    -Note version number of latest drive and download if
    necessary to update your M-Audio
    - Select "Sound" in Hardware row of System Preferences
    -Select "Input" button and select M-Audio Fast Track USB
    - No need to change "Output" regardless of how you want to listen to playback!
    3. Connect guitar to M-Audio box (a pre-amp will boost output, but is not necessary)
    - Make sure button on rear of M-Audio box is selected properly for guitar
    4. Open Garage Band (Do Not open Garage Band prior to connecting M-Audio)
    - Select New Project - Electric Guitar
    5. Open Garage Band Preferences
    - Select "Audio/MIDI" button
    -Audio Output select:
    - "Built-in Output" to use computer's speaker or headphones/speakers connected directly to computer OR
    - "M-Audio Fast Track USB" to listen to headphones/speakers
    connected directly to M-Audio box (use Mix knob and Output knob on front of M-Audio box to control ouput if choosing this set-up)
    -Audio Input select:
    -"M-Audio Fast track USB"
    6. Choose an Amp model in Garage Band
    - Double-click picture of amp (this displays rear picture of amp and access to settings)
    -Select: Input Source : Mono2(M-Audio Fast Track USB) NOT MONO 1!
    of if using Mic and guitar : Stereo2 (M-Audio Fast Track USB)
    7. Record
    This saved me from throwing the thing out the window... It works well now!

  • Getting Soundtrack Pro to record with M-Audio Firewire Solo?

    I'm having trouble trying to record 'live' into Soundtrack Pro. I've got a mic into analog mixer into M-Audio Firewire Solo audio interface into ibook set up.
    In STP, I can select firewire channels 1 to 2 (under "Recording" tab) for the input device but nothing is recording when I hit the record button. the mic>mixer bit is working fine. I'm quite certain the mixer>audio bit is working so I think its a problem with compatibility between the M-Audio Firewire Solo device and Soundtrack Pro software....although it shows up as an option in the select audio input/output settings in STP... I've also got the latest Tiger driver for the Firewire Solo device and the latest update for STP.
    I CAN record from the in-built mic on the ibook so that bit works...
    Currently, I've been recording individual tracks into Audacity then exporting them all as separate tracks into Soundtrack Pro for post production as AIFF files (drag and drop them into STP in the order I require). I'm doing this as a temporary measure until I can find out how to get M-Audio Firewire Solo talking to Soundtrack Pro.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Well, I got it working with Soundtrack Pro and Audio Hijack Pro in the end. It seems that only the front side of M-Audio FireWire Solo recording interface actually seems to work and only the right channel (mono). Its a little bit annoying but it works...not sure why the back ones did not work (s/pdif, balanced and unbalanced phone jacks plugs), perhaps its something to do with the fact that the front has gain level knobs and the back doesn't....hmm...maybe not enough power to drive the back connectors?
    Anyway, if any of you happen to use M-Audio FireWire audio interfaces (analog to digital converter) and you face a similar problem, then its probably going to be a similar thing...
