Does Logic support Audio Interface and MIDI simultaneously over USB?

Hi -
I'm new to this so please bear with me :-). I have a MacBook running Logic. Also have a MIDI controller hooked up via USB.
I also have a USB Mixer that I'd like to hookup to the Mac's audio output. Currently, I have the MacBook's headphone output going into the mixer. I'd love to get the cleaner sound afforded by the USB connection. Is this possible while keeping the MIDI connection over USB?

Thanks, Fox. You're right - I just tried it out and it worked out very well (although I'm getting I high-pitched noise through my monitor speakers only when Logic is running. The noise stops when I exit out of Logic.)
I couldn't get myself to believe that the Mac/Logic could keep the USB data straight - MIDI on one, and audio on the other, but sure enough, it works just fine. :-)
Thanks!

  • USB 3.0 audio interface and MIDI controller

    I´ve got the Macbook Pro Retina (2012) with only USB 3.0 ports. Today, i learned that no audio interface beneeth xxxx$ is compatible with this standard, and will only work with USB 2.0. I´ve also got Thunderbolt ports, but those audio interfaces are just as expencive and far out of my league. Same goes for MIDI controllers.
    Is there any way to come around this problem? There seems to be a lack of information regarding this issue around the internet. I want to buy the Balance audio interface for Propellerheads Reason, but I get the feeling it´s not going to work (at least thats what the guy at the local store told me).
    USB 2.0 hubs are also not going to work, as far as I know. Any ideas?

    Okay everyone,
    As I wasn't able to solve the problem myself, I decided to replace my old interface for a brand new one. The problem clearly was the age of the old interface.
    In a particular music store I was allowed to test four individual USB audio interfaces that worked perfectly on both 10.9 and W7.
    For those interested, I now use a Roland Quad-Capture (UA-55) which has great preamps!

  • I have a mid 2009 Macbook Pro and i know the Mini-display port does not support audio out but does it support HDMI out? or do i have to buy a Mini-display to DVI and then a DVI to HDMI adapters?

    Run MDP to HDMI for picture. Use a cable like this to run sound from your audio out on your Mac to your TV's audio in.  That's about all  you can do.

  • 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.

  • GarageBand and supported Audio Interfaces

    Hi
    Is there a list of supported audio interfaces that work with GB 09?
    Cheers.

    Strange that Logic sees it but not GB.
    First, I'd make sure the audio interface is selected in GB's preferences.
    If there's still a problem, you could always try throwing out both GB preference files, which often fixes mystery problems. However, I've found that problems with the computer not seeing the interface can sometimes be fixed by restarting the computer and cycling the interface of and on (occasionally I've needed to do this twice). And then confirm the interface is seen/selected in GB's preferences (also - you can check more universally in the Audio/MIDI Setup utility).

    Pancenter,
    Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
    The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Tristan
    Tristan...
    This is what you have, correct?
    http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
    This from Alesis..
    "The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
    Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
    My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

  • Audio Interface and Converter HardWare for my future Logic

    Hello, I'm French.
    I will buy a logic studio 9 software + a mac pro computer
    But i don't really know what Audio Interface and Converter HardWare take?
    I'm look for Digidesign + HD Cards or Apogee System or RME, MOTU
    After I will buy an SSL mixage table for my studio (in a long time^^)
    Sorry for the bad english :S

    Logic and Protools don't have exactly the same concept when it comes to audio hardware. But if you want Apogee hardware to use with Logic, then there are options for either PCI-based or FireWire. Go and look at the Apogee site:

  • Advice on audio interface  and monitors for I-Mac

    My setup is a basement studio. Mac pro, logic pro, Mackie control, motu 896, unitor 8 channel midi, line 6 pod xt pro, lexicon mx 400. Allen & heath board 16.2 wizard, Amps, Drums, Mics. The list goes on. Networked with my I-Mac in my office 2 floors up. So I copy My project folders to my I-Mac. Im very comfortable in my office so I thought I would do my final mix and master in my office. So my question is what would be a decent 2 channel audio interface no midi, and near field monitors maybe 3 to 4 feet away to mix and master. Reasonable. Thanks Bill

    I'm quite impressed by Apogee Duet. 2-channel & no MIDI (still does provide some control function with its single knob) which sounds like it suits what you're looking for. Very simple & elegant design, the sound quality is supreme considering its cost.
    Near field monitor of my choice is KRK V8's. Nice natural sounding set of monitors. In comparison to competitors at the price range, these sets 'breathe' & provide a bit more air in sound production without exaggerating any particular freq.
    When it comes down to choosing monitor speakers, go to a local pro audio shop & try out a bunch so you can compare. Just remember to bring test CD that you know well what it should sound like.
    Good luck!

  • Is it possible to do the audio capture and playback simultaneously?

    In short :
    Is it possible to do the audio capture and playback simultaneously? . If it is not supported directly by Sun, pl suggest another way to achieve the same.
    In detail:
    I am doing a voice chat application by using the streaming through UDP . I am able to play the byte stream. But , is it possible to capture sound simultaneously (while playing the audio) to send to the other end?
    Edited by: dhillarun on Jan 4, 2008 7:11 AM

    If you're Airplaying from you computer, you might be able to do this. Here's what I would try:
    Go to the Airplay icon in iTunes. You should see both your Apple TV and your speakers listed as options. Select "Multiple speakers." You'll see both devices together. Turn the volume all the way down on the Apple TV. You should be getting the video on the TV, but only hear audio through the speakers.
    Using the "Multiple Speakers" option will sync the output of your devices so that the sound matches the picture.
    I haven't tried this myself, but I'm thinking this would work. However, this approach will only work when using Airplay from your computer – not from am iPad or iPhone – as they don’t have the "Multiple Speakers" option (as far as I know). It also won't work with content streamed directly to your ATV, obviously, because there's no way to stream from ATV to other devices.
    Let me know if this works.

  • Audio interface and software for my 13" MBA?

  • Bus-powered audio interfaces and preamps

    I'm hoping to take a PB G4 Logic system to South Africa to do some remote recording of music in a rural village. There's no electricity in the village. Wondering what options might exist and be appropriate for bus and/or battery-powered audio interfaces and mic preamps. I will be taking 4 mics with me and would like to be able to record to 4 tracks simultaneously.
    Thank you!

    Groovy, I do think it is an option worth considering if sound quality or DSP demands exceed the Traveler's mark, as I have stated.
    ULNs are 4 lbs each, smaller, lighter, they may be battery powered, like the MOTU.
    The Mobile I/O ULN2 has been designed specifically to be... erm... 'Mobile', and of superior quality.
    The traveler is more affordable and would fit the bill, I never said it wouldn't.
    You can say I am being the devil's advocate and offering the less voiced option-I don't at all think I am off the mark by offering a real alternative which is worth considering given the prerequisites. I would have no problem recording with this setup. It is an option for some people, and for some people the best one. Of course the traveler would be recommended in this thread, and I have stated in each post the condition that ULN2 is a very good option for superior quality. And if you get +DSP you get a great processor too, 80 bit mixing bus-there are things which for some people this option would be preferred. I never said it was the only option-but a good option for location. It IS worth looking into.

  • Premiere Pro Does Not Support Audio-Only Capture For Some Formats, Such As HDV?

    In the PPro CS 5.5 Help file  under, "Recording audio", it says:
    "Note: To capture an audio-only file from a digital video source, choose Audio from the Capture menu in the Logging pane of the Capture panel.
    "Premiere Pro does not support audio-only capture for some formats, such as HDV."
    I'm shooting in HDV and if I want to capture audio only, would I just need to switch my setting to DV?
    The only thing is my Canon HV20's HDV audio is MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2, 16 bit, 48 kHz.
    My DV setting is PCM audio, which I think is a better quality format, right?
    Would there be any noticeable difference?
    Thanks.

    Capture your HDV material in the normal way and just drag audio only from the source monitor to the timeline.

  • Bus power (firewire): both Audio interface  - and - hard drive ? Risk

    Is there a known risk to damage to the firewire controller (MacBook Pro April 2008 rev) if I connect both a Motu Traveler bus-powered audio interface and a G-Tech 5400 rpm bus-powered drive.
    I seemed to recall seeing if one does this, there is a risk of "burning out" the firewire port on the MacBook Pro. Is this a real risk ? Is anyone doing this ? More generaly, what are the risks of chaining multiple bus-powered devices together ?
    Thanks up front ...
