CONNECTING M-AUDIO INTERFACE INTO LOGIC?

I have my M-Audio interface connected to my mac, but when i open logic and attempt to record music i cant hear my guitar or anything, nor does what i am playing show up within the regions.
if you can respond to me at [email protected]

1st of all have you selected your M-Audio interface as the Input and Output Device in *Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>Devices>Core Audio>* ?

  • Recording Streaming Audio Directly into Logic 8?

    Is it possible to record streaming audio directly into Logic 8. I would like to grab some sound bites from web sites and various other places and lay them down as Audio tracks in Logic 8.
    I know WireTap Pro will do it for $30 but I wonder if I could just do it in Logic.
    Again, thank you for your time.

    Hi Bee Jay .. I wonder if you would mind advising on this setup:
    Normally I hear everything that comes out of the computer via the following route:
    Out of computer via Firewire and into Motu828
    Then out of Motu 828 and into Mixer channels 1 & 2 which are set to Monitor only. ie I hear all audio ( including streaming audio from computer) through my monitor speakers and the signal does not go back into Logic.
    All the other mixer channels (3 - 16) I use for recording. Mics and line inputs routing these back into the MOTU (and then the computer) by buttons on the individual channel of the mixer. ie If the button is up on a particular mixer channel it comes out the speakers and does not record in Logic. If the button is down then that channel records into Logic (via a loom into the MOTU).
    I was warned on no account to press the buttons down on channels 1 & 2 ( because those were the main outs to monitor Logic's signal ) ...
    But that if I *switched off the channel output in Logic channel strip* - then I could press down those buttons on Channel 1 and 2 and route whatever audio was coming out of the computer ( iTunes, You Tube etc) back into Logic to record.
    I did this some time ago and it worked ... but for some reason, now even though I have the Logic Channel outputs switched off, I still get the most horrendous howling feedback if I try to record Streaming Audio or iTunes.
    If you or anyone else has advice on what would be causing this, I would be most grateful

  • Connect firewire audio interface and external monitor

    I have just bought my MacBook Pro 13 and I will mainly use it for audio recording . I have connect my audio interface through the firewire port. I need to connect an external monitor . The only available ports are thunderbolt and USB . Can I connect a monitor with these available ports ?

    Hi charisio,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you would like to connect an external display to your MacBook Pro, you can use the Thunderbolt port. See these articles for some good information about Thunderbolt:

  • (MacOSX Lion 10.7.4) The problem of connecting the audio interface (USB and FireWire), grained acoustic distortion!?

    When you connect the audio interface to usb or firewire grained acoustic distortion, there is no loud noise in the acoustics! In the old "iMac24 Snow Leopard" was not like this!
    Just bought the iMac21 lion, installed the new drivers and the two interfaces of different firms is presented, this acoustic problem.
    I understand it comes from a usb and firewire!?

    Sorry for my english

    Well, it's been a few days and with no response I thought I'd look for another solution. I've been trying this software called iVPN, apparently it's like a front-end to OS X's built-in VPN server. Anyway, I disabled the VPN Server from the Server app, turned on iVPN and was VPN-ing from my iPhone over 3G in notime. It's a great app, though it kinda ***** that the server can't do what it's built to do. Since VPN was the big reason I got Server in the first place, I'll probably uninstall it and stick with OS X's built-in file sharing and iVPN.

  • No Audio input into Logic 9 using Firewire Solo interface

    I am trying to get audio (bass guitar) into an audio track in logic. I am getting a signal to the Firewire Solo panel in preferences. I have Link and out 1/2 selected in the audio interface panel. In Logic audio preferences I have selected Firewire Solo as the input device. I create a new Audio Track and I get nothing. I have tried every option when creating a new track. I have read that many people have had the same problem in other forums but I have yet to hear a solution. Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes it is checked on. Sorry that wasn't clear in the last post. I tried checked off as well. But from what I have read it should be on.
    Software monitoring only needs to be on if you wish to monitor through Logic's audio engine. Most audio interfaces also have a direct Monitoring function which allows you to monitor the inputs of the audio device. Direct monitoring virtually eliminates latency (except for converter latency which is minimal).
    So... you've created a -MONO Audio- track in Logic? You then select the track and can see the I/O channel strip on the left hand side of the page.
    There are two I/O buttons right above the meter, the bottom is output and usually set to 1/2. The one right above sets the input channel of the Audio device... make sure Record is enabled then select that button, from the drop down choose Input, how many do you show as possible inputs 1, 2, 3, 4?
    Play the bass and select each input until you show some input level.

  • FW400 audio interface into FW800 connection

    I am planning to upgrade to Logic Studio 2. Not being ready to but a new machine now, I will have to install it on my MBP (intel) until I can upgrade my tower (G5).
    Problem is that my audio interface is a Firewire 400 connection and Apple dropped that on the MBP! I only have FW800 ports.
    Is there a way to convert the FW400 connection to a FW 800 port? Or am I going to need a new audio interface?
    Thanks!

  • Help setting up my audio interface with logic pro x

    Hi everyone,
    I am a newbie with regards to home recording and using Logic Pro X and I need some help and advice about setting up my home recording set up for the first time. I want to connect my synthesizer Korg Triton Extreme to my Audio Interface Steinberg UR22 to my Apple Imac computer.
    What I would like is if I can create backing tracks or use pre-set sounds or drum patterns from my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer and then transfer them onto Logic Pro X to help me compose songs.
    How should I go about doing this? And what settings should be applied to Logic Pro X so that I can hear the songs as they are being played and recorded?
    So far I have connected my synthesizer's two outputs to the two inputs on my Steinberg UR22 Audio Interface. I have also connected the USB point on the audio interface to my Apple Imac computer. But when I have tried to add a drum track from the Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer I cannot seem to add any of the drum sounds. Nothing appears to be recorded despite me trying several times. I cannot hear any sound coming from the audio interface either despite having a pair of headphones plugged into it.
    I would also like to find a way to synchronise the drum tracks I want to record from my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer to Logic Pro X. So that when I click on the record button on Logic Pro X the synthesizer track automatically starts playing and recording on Logic Pro X. Whats the best way to do this? And will I need a Midi cable for any of the things I want to do?
    Many thanks,
    James.

    Hi James
    I just got myself a macbook pro and logic pro X, and I also have a Triton Extreme and the UR22. So I know what the learning curve can be like - it's been a long time since I've used a sequencer in a computer.
    I assume you are aware of the difference between audio and midi? With your current setup, all you can do is play your Triton and record the sounds as audio loops - you should be able to hear the Triton through headphones plugged into the UR22, and (assuming you have installed the UR22 driver) you can also hear the Triton through your computer speakers (or headphone output) once you tell Logic there is sound coming in from the UR22.
    If you want to be able to play the sounds in logic pro, or transfer drum patterns (which are in midi format), you will definitely need midi cables (you may be able to use midi by connecting the Triton's USB out to your computer, but having not tried that, I don't know if it will work - it does on more recent synths)

  • Can anyone help!! with Edirol FA 66 Audio interface and Logic Pro 7

    Hi I really need help!!
    I have Logic Pro 7 and just have brough tnew Audio interface. I have connected it up via Firewire and my Mac has recognised drivers for interface.
    I am plugging midi keyboard up to interface using two midi cables but cant get input signal through logic
    PLease help someone!!

    I have connected my Keyboard to my Edirol FA 66 Audio Interface
    via midi cables
    Ok, so you should be able to use the Casio to play Logic's instruments.
    I would like keyboard to play into Logic and then be heard as an
    output through my external speakers.
    Well that's your problem, you've only connected it via MIDI cables - MIDI IS NOT AUDIO.
    MIDI does not carry any audio signals at all, you cannot record audio via MIDI cables. You need to connect the stereo outputs of your keyboard into the audio inputs of your audio interface in order to record the Casio as audio, and/or to pipe it's audio through Logic.

  • Setting up an audio interface with logic 9

    hey im still pretty new to this. i have a powerbook G4 with logic pro 9. i just got a steinberg CI1 usb audio interface which i was told would work with logic. (http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/hardware/ci1/ci1_start.html) im recording vocals and im having trouble with logic picking up any audio. ive installed the drivers and my mac has no problem discovering the interface. i went into logic and it intilized the core audio, and then i went to "prefrences" and set the audio input/output to the interface. i can hear myself with the headphones i connect to the interface and i can also hear the instrumental music coming from logic. The problem is logic wont pick up any of my vocals. I set the track to record enable and i still have nothing. Any help? Thanks!
    oh and i tried it with garageband and it worked fine, so im pretty sure it has to do something with the setting on logic. any help would be appreciated!

    Hey bud i was able to sort it quite easily in the end!
    Ensure u have latest drivers installed!
    Restart your mac! Ensure interface is plugged in
    Load logic!
    Click the + to add a new track:- select audio instrument!
    Enable record and monitoring! Choose the channel you want to record from!
    You may have to select your interface as your output if monitors are being used through the interface!
    Hey presto!

  • Connecting external audio interfaces?! Issues, help needed!

    Ok well basically i'v always used a pc to do music using cubase and a variety of hardware including a steinberg mi4 external audio interface connected via usb. Now on my pc which is actually less powerful than my new macbook (the 2.2ghz model) the interface works with out fault no latency, no distortion.
    However once used on my new shiny macbook, for which i'v purchased logic pro as opposed to cubase (felt like a change) when trying to use my interface via usb on the mac through logic i seem to have issues with recording and all sound comes through distorted with a great deal of latency. I'v tried altering the sample depth and the bit rate and nothing seems to work?
    I have downloaded mac specific drivers for the hardware so i'm sure its not a driver issue?
    Anyone with any suggestion, cos i'm a bit gutted really?
    P.s. Does anyone know if you can change the graphics card in a macbook?
    Ben

    Hi, im having the same issue, using garageband and logic pro. I used pc to make music with no problems at all with my Zoom g9.2tt guitar fx usb interface.
    Now with mac i get distorted and lots of latency.
    One way i found that can make this work with garageband is use the internal sound card to play sounds and the usb interface to record this helps a lot. This trick makes it for garageband but not for logic pro(still getting distortion/latency).
    By the way i used to have an emachines laptop with 512 ram memory and a 1,6ghz semprom processor, believe or not, easier to record on that one, with no latency and no distortion.

  • Help!!! The best audio interface for Logic Studio

    Hey y'all,
    I'm looking for an audio interface. Requirements are: microphone- (XLR), instrument- (1/4") and midi-connectors. I'd like to record everything 1 by 1 all by myself, without audio playback/slowing-down issues. I'm quite new with recording and have no idea which one suits my system and software the best. I want to record as easy as possible and with the most beautiful results available. Price range of up to €500.
    My MacBook Pro:
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
    Geheugen 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    My software: Logic Studio
    Thanks!

    If Midi connectivity is important: Focusrite Saffire 6 (USB). Check out the User Guide:
    http://www.focusrite.com/downloads/saffire_6_usb/
    Otherwise, I would strongly recommend Mackie's Onyx Blackjack, especially when also out gigging. Check out the product page and you can also download an Owner's Manual:
    http://www.mackie.com/products/onyxblackjack/
    I use the Mackie . User Guides/Manuals are a great way of checking out detail about a product when deciding what to buy.
    I thought that Sennheiser were well known for headphones, not microphones.

  • Record video into finalcut  and audio multitrack into logic in sync

    Hi,
    I'm an experienced logic user but new to video.
    What is the best way to record video and audio multitrack!! synchronously?
    Can I record video direct to my harddisc and synchronously record audio into logic or soundtrack pro? We have two separate macs available.
    -Can I connect finalcut with logic via rewire or do I need additional sync hardware?
    -How can I start record simultaneously for finalcut and logic?
    -Do I need finalcut pro?
    -Can I record video and audio directly and simultaneously into soundtrack pro or finalcut?
    I currently work with a cutter who uses canopus but assign each video take to each audio take is so time consuming. There must be a better solution for video production.
    Any feedback appreciated,
    Thanks Eddie

    I may be wrong about this, but AFAIK…
    Can I record video direct to my harddisc and synchronously record audio into logic or soundtrack pro?
    No.
    -Can I connect finalcut with logic via rewire or do I need additional sync hardware?
    FCP is not ReWire compatible.
    -How can I start record simultaneously for finalcut and logic?
    You can not.
    -Do I need finalcut pro?
    Maybe, but I can't say one way or the other. What is your goal with video?
    -Can I record video and audio directly and simultaneously into soundtrack pro or finalcut?
    You can record directly into FCP, either via FW or SDI (if you have supporting hardware)
    I currently work with a cutter who uses canopus but assign each video take to each audio take is so time consuming. There must be a better solution for video production.
    Not familiar with Canopus, so I can't comment.
    Any feedback appreciated,
    Some editors find the term "cutter" to be an unfair characterization of what they do. We do waaaaay more than just cut out the bad takes!

  • How to set up an audio interface with logic express

    i just got a deck board tascam us-1641, downloaded the driver, plugged in my keyboard but nothing is happening. What am I missing or not doing?

    You probably have to set up Logic to use your audio interface.
    You'll find these settings under the Logic menu > Preferences > Audio. Then you can select the preferred audio interface.
