Default Audio Interface

Is it possible to make an external audio interface the default output interface for the entire system, not just a specific program like Logic? I would like to use monitors that obviously will not connect into the standard 1/8th jack, and would need to be wired through an interface. I'd not only like my music channeling through the external audio interface, but system sounds as well. Could I make, through system preferences, the external audio interface the default output?

Im not exactly sure what you are trying to do, but have you tried using the APPLICATIONS>UTILITIES>AUDIO MIDI SETUP tool? I had to use this before to connect things like bluetooth headsets and such. Maybe this would help?..... :P sorry

Setting External Audio Interface as default output

Hi.
I have a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion 1.8.5 with the following audio output options:
Built-In Output
MOTU UltraLite Audio Interface
Bluetooth speaker.
I have the UltraLite setup as my default for "Use this device for sound output" and "Play alerts and sound effects through this device". And it works flawless. On occassion I have to play the audio to the Bluetooth speaker. And that works great too. However if I turn off the spearker the Mac defaults back to "Built-In Output". How can I set it to default back to the UltraLite instead? (Ps-I don't mind messing with files deep in the system).
Thanks,
David

Hi.
I assume you created WAD template.
In this WAD you inserted 2 webitems:
1. analysis item with dataprovider assigned to your query
2. chart item with the same dataprovider
If so you should set, as mentioned above, HIDDEN for analysis item (analysis item shows you query data - table) and VISIBLE fro chart item.
So by default your report data will be hidden and chart visible.
If you want to switch within WAD you should create any button "show/hide table" and attach command "SET_WEBITEM_PROPERTIES" and set visible for analysis item.
Regards.

Error message: "the previously selected audio interface is not available"

HELP?!?!?!?!?
I'm stuck, and I can't go forward. Here's my issue:
I've bought a Focusrite Saffire LE, a simple firewire audio interface, for use with my Logic Express 7 (with all the latest updates). I run the setup assistant and select my saffire as the audio interface to use, and then when logic runs I get the message "the previously selected audio interface is not available" and it defaults to my Macbook Pro's internal microphone and speakers.
Just for sanity I've tested the audio interface with garageband and it's fine. My other audio apps aso run fine using the saffire as the audio interface. The setup assistant for logic has no problem finding the saffire, so why does it get rejected as soon as logic starts?!?!?
Please - this is driving me crazy.

I asked Focusrite for some help, and they said it should work (which I knew) and made some suggestions. Here's their email:
"Saffire LE should work fine in Logic Express.
Try resetting your logic preferences. Go to Logic > preferences > initialise all except key commands.
Do you still have the same problem?
Do you have any other firewire devices attached?
Have you had any other interfaces installed in the past?"
All good suggestions, but so far no luck.
Has someone else got the same config as me? (15" Macbook Pro and focusrite saffire le)?

Audio interface problem with Waveburner...wil not send audio to MoTU 828mk3

When using Waveburner with a new MOTU 828Mk3 interface. the audio refuses to play via the 828 despite it being selected in the Audio Device window. It defaults to sending audio to my second display screen. Is there a re-set somewhere? It works fine with Logic9.

Hi,
You need to select the MOtu 828mk3 as your default audio device under the Mac Os "Audio Midi Setup" application, and the "sound" preference pane in Preferences.
Cheers

Selecting an Audio Interface

Hi,
I recently purchased Logic Pro 9 on my 2011 13" Macbook Pro, and am in need of a new audio interface. I am using it to record with my band (using synthetic drums so I am usually recording one track at a time). We used to use Sonar Home Studio with an Alesis Multimix 8 USB 2.0, but felt we needed something with more power and options so we switched to Logic. Also, we had some problems with the Alesis with quality among other things. I need an audio interface that will give me good sound quality with at lease one XLR input, a guitar input, a MIDI input and an output or two, one of which that can be used for headphones while tracking vocals and such. I don't have a set price range but I do want something that will give us good audio quality and something that will work well with logic.
Any help and suggestions are much appreciated and please let me know if there is any more information you need from me.
Thanks!

Presonus makes good quality equipment and they're always wheeling & dealing with various music retailers (ie Sweetwater, Musicians Friend) to offer package deals with, say, an audio interface + heavy discount on Studio One Pro which is their relatively new DAW (btw, it is a nice app and has defaulted to my secondary after Logic).
I'd avoid M-Audio. I once owned their 2496 card which was worth every penny I paid: $15 + a six pack of Sam Adams to a friend moving out of state.
Can't really go wrong with Focusrite hardware but someone needs to get their plug-in developers to step up.
Good luck.

Audio Interface Recognized, then Immediately Dropping

Hello all. This is my first post on here and I'm hoping I could get some solid advice.
I'm using Logic Pro 8 for live recording and my computer meets all required specifications. We use a TASCAM-1641 USB audio interface for our recording.
Sometimes Logic recognizes my interface and we get through an entire night of recording. However, a majority of the time the software recognizes the interface when I power it up. I the select the interface in Core Audio, and then about 20 seconds later I get a message stating: Logic can no longer detect the US-1641. Switching to default setting.
No matter if I reboot the computer, restart the program, create new song, etc., the problem does not resolve.
Does anyone know what could case this "drop" of the interface? After this happens, my friend switches in his computer with GarageBand and it's good to go, so it's definitely not the USB cable or the interface. It has to be some audio setting on my laptop or soething with Logic.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a feeling that the ports on your laptop may not be USB 2, just regular USB. That appears to be the case with my 2007 MacBook Pro. If you look at System Profiler, the only high speed USB port is the one used internally by the built-in webcam.
I don't know which Mac laptop you have; if it's a regular MacBook then you're SOL, but if it has a PC or Expresscard slot then you could use something like this:
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/fwusbexpresscard34.html
(Sonnet tends to be expensive - you'd want to shop around.)
If my theory is correct AND if you have a MacBook with no card slot, your only option is to put your interface on ebay and buy a FireWire one. But I don't know that my theory is correct - it's just an educated guess.

Can't hear playback with USB audio interface plugged in

I start Logic Pro 8 and then plug in Lexicon Lambda for a USB interface between guitar and macbook pro. With the Lambda plugged in I hear nothing from mac or headphone input on Lambda. If I unplug Lambda I can hear playback from mac just fine thru speakers or headphones.
Very appreciative of any advice on how to solve this.
Thanks.

Unplug your audio interface, reboot the Mac, plug the USB interface in, let it be recognized. Open Audio/MIDI Setup (in utilities) see if the Lambda shows up as an input and output device.
Yes/No?
If yes, you don't have to select if for any of the Input/Outputs, Logic's audio interface selection operates independently from the system.
Open Logic go to "Preferences/Audio) select the Lexicon or Lambda interface as the default unit, set audio buffers to 256.
Anything yet.
All audio I/O will be coming from the lexicon the Mac's audio system is now out of the equation.

Audio interfaces not working in mavericks ?

Interfaces are recognized and output signal just fine but the input signal breaks up after an undetermined amount of time. Tried it with year old scratlett interface, and now with an apogee duet and the same glitch occurs. Thus it is not a flaw in the audio interfaces. The glitch must be fixed. Immediately. For a new system to not support a basic interface is totally unnacceptable. Fix it. Fix it now.

Thanks Gary.
The fact that you're getting results with that interface is reassuring.
For $30 it would be worth it for me to pick one up just to see if it works with my mac.
I'm starting to suspect driver/firmware issues with the pro-audio stuff, since Apogee, Focusrite, Roland, Tascam and others are all issuing "Mavericks" patches, with varied results.
As far as powered hubs, passive hubs, etc. as discussed in the 2 threads you indicated, I've been through it all for about a month.
Can you tell me what clock source is the UCA222 using? (default or external)
You can find this in Audio MIDI Setup utility.
Also, did you install any drivers/firmware as found on this page?

Thanks again for your insights.

STP won't use my audio interface for monitoring, but FCP will

Hi, I've been using FCP for a long time, with my MOTU 896 audio interface (firewire). It works fine with FCP for monitoring the mix, playback, everything.
Today, I decided to try STP for the first time (up until now, I've been doing all the audio within FCP). I cannot seem to get the MOTU to work for audio monitoring unless I change the System Sound Preferences to have the MOTU selected (and not the built-in line out).
The STP Manual says that "by default, it will use the settings in the System Sound Prefs", but that you can change it. However, nothing I do seems to make any difference.
- I set the Preferences:Recording tab to Monitor the MOTU 896.
- In the Recording tab of the Inspector to Monitor the MOTU 896.
But it still plays back through whatever is selected in the System Sound Panel. I can change this to the MOTU, but I would rather have my system sounds playing through the regular built-in line out.
Am I missing a setting here? Thanks!
(This is STP 1.1, on a Mac Pro Intel, running OS X 10.4.8.)
MacPro Quad Core 3.0 Ghz / G4 Dual 800 QuickSilver / PBook G4 Titanium Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Go to the AudioMidi Setup app and select the MOTU 896 as Default Output and built-in audio as System Output. That way, the system sounds will still use the built-in audio but STP will use the MOTU. Unfortunately, every other app (like iTunes or QuickTime) will use the MOTU as well. STP doesn't have any preferences to select its own interface like any other pro DAW out there. Maybe STP 2.0 will fix that?

Audio interface console (app) won't work on Mac Pro

Hello there!
I just bought a new Mac Pro and did a clean install of all my apps. Everything seems to be working fine except one thing: my audio interface's console.
I'm using an Audiofire 4 interface, which has little physical controls on it. I've been using its console software on my iMac and on my MacBook Pro to control it. Last night I installed the software from the CD on the Mac Pro and it won't work!
I launch the application from my home folder on my boot disk (SSD). I also tried installing it on the data HDD and still no luck: when I try to launch it it closes immediately. All my macs are on the same version of SN so that shouldn't be the problem.
Anyone has a few ideas? I use my computer a lot for music so this has to work or I may have to return to the iMac...
Thanks in advance!

Update: this morning I installed the Audiofire Console successfully on my Windows partition (on another hard drive). I then came back to OSX (on my SSD) and this time the app, instead of immediately opening and closing, beachballed the whole system. The console gave me this:

Nothing but line in/out trying to use firewire audio interface

Hi all, hoping someone can help me out here. I just got and am trying to use a Behringer FAC202 firewire audio interface. It's documentation says all I have to do is plug it in and OS X is supposed to recognize it. Well it doesn't. I have no core audio control panel, and in the sound control panel all I have is the default line in/out for internal audio (I do have system sound through the built in sound card)
Anyone have an idea why the firewire device isn't showing up? I did check the firewire bus and I see:
Unknown Device:
Manufacturer: Unknown
Model: Unknown Device
Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec
Connection Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec
The FAC202 is the only firewire device on the system.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply Jean,
I did try that and saw no luck there either, but it actually turns out that the unit may well be defective. I tried it on several macs of various makes, as well as a couple of PCs and no joy all around, so I'm sending it back for replacement.
Thanks again for your reply.

'Invisible' latency problem with Tascam US-122 mkii audio interface

Firstly, thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer, secondly I'm very new to Logic and troubleshooting DAWs, and thirdly this sort of thing is really difficult to describe. So, here goes:
I'm using a late 2007 macbook with a 2.2Ghz intel core 2 duo and 2GB ram with Logic Pro 9. My audio interface is a Tascam US-122 mkii.
The reported latency I should be experiencing is far less than what I can hear. That is, if I record a part through the Tascam, through guitar line in or by a microphone, when I then go to playback the track the recorded track is VERY misaligned with the rest of the song. It's usually by about a third of second- I can match them up with a mouse drag but that's only for very simple parts, e.g 1/4 notes or something. Logic isn't compensating for any latency between the interface and Logic. Is there any way to fix this? I suspect this might be something to do with the drivers for the Tascam, rather than Logic....or is it that the mac's spec is too low? If I got another audio interface, such as the Apogee One, would that be more 'plug and play' in giving me less issues with simply trying to get a recorded part appear where it should do? I've tried experimenting with the drivers (I'm currently using the one recommended by tascam) and by changing the I/O buffer size.
One other weird problem is that if I set the output and input in logic for the Tascam, I end up with really bad CPU spikes. Practically a full bar. But if I set it to the input only from the tascam, and use the default output with logic, no CPU spikes. The latency/alignment problem is basically unaffected by this.
Here's an excerpt from an email I sent to Tascam support, which sets the problem out in a slightly different way.
"In logic, when I have both the output and the input through tascam, obviously the recommended setting, it doesn't say there is much latency but there are all sorts of CPU spikes. Even though it says there isn't too much latency (i think about 15ms, which is more than i'd prefer), there is a large delay when playing back a recorded track. Basically, the tracks are misaligned about by a third of a second. On top of this, and I don't know if this indicates anything, but when I use the tascam as both input and output I can't access the lower I/O buffer settings in logic, i.e 32 or 64, as there's a lot of white noise. I was under the impression using lower I/O buffer settings might help, but....
When I set the output to the default device (macbook sound output) and take my input from the tascam, there's still a large delay. Logic reports the latency as being lower than before by about 6 ms, but upon playing back a recorded sound there really isn't any difference- we're still looking at about a third to half a second misalignment between the tracks. However, strangely, with the default output and tascam as input, the macbook can happily get down to an I/O buffer size of 32 in logic while using low latency mode, but as I say this hasn't helped the problem at all.
So, despite getting lowish reported latency, I'm getting a MASSIVE delay between a track I've recorded and where it should be, that is, about 1/3 to half a second later. "
Anyway, thanks again to anyone who has any suggestions. I've tried as much as I can think of and have had a good look in the manual and a look around these forums, but since I can't really figure out what the problem exactly is it's proving hard- so apologies if it's something really obvious.
Thanks to anyone who helps, I know it might not be very interesting since Logic 10 just came out......
Mike

Actually, at long last and thinking about it differently, I've sort of sorted out my own problem- the 'delay' or 'invisible latency' was caused by using the tascam as input and the macbook as output. But I'm still getting massive CPU spikes and can see a lot of crashes incoming....is that because of a poor driver, or because of a poor macbook? Would something like the apogee one be less of a CPU hog?

Project sample rate vs the audio interface clock

I used Audition for digitizing archival audio and I mostly work in 96 kHz because it's the current archival standard for analog audio, however I occasionally need to transfer DAT or ADAT tapes at 44.1 or 48 kHz. One thing I noticed when I went to change the project format was that my audio interface clock did not change and match the multitrack settings. I was able to change the clock manually but I had to go to the Audio Hardware preferences.
I find this behavior for a DAW very strange. If I have a multitrack open of one bit rate and my clock set to another, how does that work? How does Audition 6 play and record audio at differnt sample rates than the interface clock? When I open a multitrack that's 96 kHz and my clock is set to 48, what sample rate am I getting? The audio file being saved says 96 kHz but is it?

If true, this is indeed strange. I have used just about every DAW under the sun for the last 10 years based on what my employer purchased and I have never seen a DAW allow you to record sample rates where the project didn't match the incoming clock.
There should be an option that locks the audio interface internal clock to the opened project. It makes it annoying any time I have to switch between recording in 96 kHz to 48 kHz. That's annoying on it's own right, but what's really annoying is that it's an extra step that I have to train our archival technicians who don't have a techical background in audio.
I can definitely say it's true for my set-up!
Surely, the "extra step" you refer to is not necessary if AA is resampling the audio to match the desired sample rate?
As for the "option" to "lock the audio interface clock to the opened project", for those cards, like mine, which cannot have their sample rate changed by the audio software, how is that going to work? I suspect this was how AA CS5.5 and earlier worked: unless session/project and interface sample rate matched, no audio. I much prefer the current "resampling" method; no necessity to have to think about soundcard/interface settings every time a different sample rate is being used.
FWIW, if I want to record something at 44.1 I always ensure the card and AA settings are 44.1; but for "playback" (or video editing which I do quite a lot of and which requires 48 - my video editor software will not "play" unless the audio sampling rate of the card is 48 - ) 48 is my "default" setting.
JMO!

Monitoring and recording using my audio interface

I am new to the logic express program. When I try to record with my audio interface (whether mic or instrument), do I always have to go to the "Device Input" settings and swithc the input to my interface? Even when I do that, the bars move indicating sound, but I cant hear it...dont know what I am doing wrong?
So basically, right now, I record without being able to monitor, then when I want to hear it, I have to switch the device input back from the interface to the default device?
It seems I am making this harder than it is.
Thanks for the help.

I am having the same problem (using a presonus firepod). Tried the aggregate solution but it is not working.
Steps I took: Aggregate Device Editor > selected firepod and built-in output. Then in Audio Midi setup selected aggregate device as default input. In Logic Ex 8, preferences>audio>enabled core audio and selected aggregate device as the driver. Created a new track, tried using input monitoring and the record button. I can see the levels go up and down, so there is signal, but no sound for me to hear. The inputs and outputs for the track are input 1 outputs 1&2.
So am I doing something wrong?
Thanks guys.
