GB + Yamaha n12

Trying to connect a Yamaha n12 to Garageband 09.
1. In settings Yamaha Steinberg FW is selected for input and output. I get a level there.
2. In GB the preferences are set to recognize the Yamaha Steinberg FW for audio input and output but I get no level there.
3. The firmware for the n12 is updated. FW controller is updated.
Can anyone help?

Turns out that the mLan driver that came with the board was already outdated and replaced by another driver altogether.
Once I got past that (always check online for new drivers first, updated the firmware on the board, and figured out the cubase licensing stuff, it was fine.
Thanks.

How to set up an existing Yamaha N12 with a new iMac

Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
I just bought a Yamaha N12 mixer Dec 2009 last month and been trying it with my MacBook Pro. It's firmware has been updated to work with the Yamaha Steinberg FW driver, and it's been communicating fine with the my MacBook Pro.
Now the problem. I just bought an iMac 27' running Mac OS X 10.6.2 last week.
How should I get the N12 to talk to my iMac? What sequence of driver installation should I go about?
Should install all the Tools for n/mLan drivers that came with the N12 installation discs still? And then carry on with installing the Yamaha Steinberg FW driver over it? Or can I straight away install the latest Yamaha Steinberg FW driver?
I'm afraid of technical problems as I might have screwed up my first iMac's firewire 800 port when I installed the Yamaha Steinberg FW driver straight away. Luckily the Mac shop was kind enough and willing to give me a one for one replacement of the iMac due to the firewire port problem. I'm not sure to what extend the firewire800 port problem might have with the FW driver installation or if it was a manufacturing defect. In anycase, its a one-time only exchange. And I now have the replacement iMac, and the firewire800 port is working fine. I'm now hesitant to install anything so that the iMac can talk to my N12 in the worry that it might affect anything if I did the wrong steps especially the firewire 800 port.
Please help if you might know of the correct steps? i just want my N12 to talk to my new iMac without any possible spoiling of my firewire 800 port due to wrong installation steps on my part.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Regards,
BG

What does Yamaha's User Manual says about driver installation? Did you follow the instructions as indicated with your 1st iMac? Are there any notes in the driver installation instructions saying that there is a risk of damaging a FireWire port when you do something in the wrong order? If so, you must follow these instruction carefully in order not to screw up the 2nd iMac, I presume.
However, from my experience, you can't really "screw up" a port by installing a driver. But you must also be aware that the driver has to be suitable for the current operating system of your iMac (that is for Snow Leopard or Mac OSX 10.6.2)

Yamaha N12 FW driver Version 1.7.3 not working

The relatively new Yamaha N12 Digital Mixer drivers V. 1.7.3 are not stable under Mavericks.
In 10.9.1 it always crashes when my MAC PRO starts. In 10.9.2 it worked for a short time just after the update, after that it keep crashing all over again.
Anyone had the same issue...? Resolved...?
My configuration is:
MAC PRO 2 x 2.26 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
32Gb RAM
AMD RADEON HD 6870 1024 Mb
MAC O/S 10.9.2
Cheers.

What Firewall and Antivirus applications are installed on your computer?
Sorry I haven't been able to reply, my internet stopped working.
If I'm not mistaken I use windows defender and windows firewall. I've made sure windows firewall doesn't block skype in any way and I turned off windows defender for a moment but to no avail.
Perhaps I should try a complete uninstall again.

New Yamaha n12 - Mac Pro / Logic 9 doesn't always recognize it! Help!

Hi Guys,
Sorry to post another question about the Yamaha n12... hoping any Logic / n12 users can help me out here!
I'm finding that when I start up the Mac Pro, the n12 is not recognized in the "sounds" section in System Prefs.
Needless to say, it's not recognized in Logic, either...
It takes about 20 attempts turning the n12 on and off for it to eventually show up...
Does anyone have any tips on how to get this device to work in a stable way? It's seeming pretty erratic at the moment, and I'm already thinking I shouldn't part with my Mackie Onyx 1220 afterall.
Is there any way to get the n12 to use Core Audio directly (as the Onyx does... you just plug it in and OSX recognizes it straight away!)?
Or is the Yamaha M-Lan Connection Manager thing the only way to get the n12 to work?
If anyone can help with this or share their experiences, I'd be very grateful!
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Guys,
If you're using a Yamaha n12, there is a new version of the firmware (1.03), and the firwire firmware (1.0.7).
More importantly, Yamaha have released new drivers, called "Yamaha Steinberg FW drivers"...
Not only do these solve the problem of the n12 being recognized, they allow AMAZINGLY low latency. Projects which I had to run with a buffer of 128 on my Mackie Onyx will now run at a buffer of 32, with no glitches!
Very impressed with the n12 now I have the new drivers and firmware!
I definitely recommend that other n12 users update these if you haven't already!
Cheers,
Mike

Started using a Yamaha n12 with Logic... having problems!!

Hi Guys
Just wondering if anyone is using a Yamaha n12?
I've just bought one to replace (tentitively!) my Mackie Onyx 1220...
First thing I noticed was that the n12 wasn't "plug and play" the way the Mackie Onyx was. It didn't show up in the "sound" control panel until I loaded a special application called "M-Lan connection manager"...
... that kind of freaked me out - one more driver to go wrong, or to have future compatibility issues!
Anyway, it seems to be working OK, although a few "error 36s" have come up while playing from a random point in a song in Logic.
But the main problem I am having is that Logic is not receiving or sending ANY MIDI over my old M-Audio Midisport 4x4 while the Yamaha n12 is running. I still need to use the Midisport 'cos I have several MIDI devices (the n12 only has one MIDI in and one out).
Has anyone had similar experiences to this? Is there a way to keep using my Midisport alongside the n12? (When I switch back to the Mackie Onyx to test, everything is fine...)
On this whole subject, I would LOVE some feedback from anyone using an n12. Is it a bit unstable? Is having to use this "connection manager" thing annoying?
I am already finding it quite irritating that the n12 isn't usually recognized when I start the Mac, and I have to cycle it on and off to get it to show up....
Perhaps the Onyx is a better way to go after all, even though it's a bit simpler?
Thanks heaps guys - look forward to any words of wisdom you have to offer!
Cheers,
Mike

Audio problems with Yamaha N12

Hey,
I'm using the Yamaha N12 digital mixer plugged via firewire with FCP, and I'm having massive audio problems / sync problems: audio is always about 1 sec delayed. I've checked the a/v-configuration and it seems ok to me. The problem does not occur in other audio apps like iTunes or Adobe Premiere.
What could be the reason? Thanks for your help!

Some TVs have had issues with the HDMI handshake and the Audio. You may be required to use the separate bulkier HD Component cables with separate audio cables. Or try it as a solution on that TV.
I have CHS 435 DVR on a Samsung, and 2 CHS 335s on different model Vizio TVs, all with HDMI, and no issues. Others have reported different issues. I did a search here with the following results. Perhaps this information will help.

Logic Express 8 & Yamaha N12

I know the n12 comes bundled with Cubase sofware, does the n12 work just as brilliantly with Logic Expess 8?

So can anyone confirm if logic will work with the yamaha n12?
has anyone done any testing???

Linking L9 to hybrid Yamaha digital mixer - help!

Hi
I recently bought one of the hybrid Yamaha n12 mixers mainly to enjoy remote hardware mixing on Logic. I have really struggled to get the MacBook Pro talking to the n12. I have downloaded and installed all the manual says I should from Yamaha's update page for the n12 yet (a) cannot get the mLAN audio download to install (it keeps failing) and (b) neither can I get the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver to appear on Audio MIDI Setup as it should.
Has anyone else out there has had similar issues?

What operating system are you using?
Are you using these drivers:
http://download.yamaha.com/search/product/?language=en&site=usa.yamaha.com&categ ory_id=16255&product_id=592444
Use the drop down to filter for your OS.
Is mLan included in the Firewire driver + Tools?
Or are you using the separate mLan download... that will never work unless you're using very old OS software, also, have you done the firmware updates?

Using your video processing computer for the web

Hello,
I've heard it from some people I really trust and respect that one should never use your video server for ANY other purpose other than video work. They say if you use other applications, including being on the Internet, it is guaranteed to mess things up in the long run.
I want to do the right thing. But I must admit, it is SO handy to be able to encounter a problem in PrPro and just go online here and ask.
What do others do? Do they adhere to the dedicated video machine point of view?
Thanks,
matt dubuque

if you follow the 'expert' advices of having a dedicated video processing computer your workflow will be impacted. At least my workflow includes a lot of research and download from templates, royality free pictures, movies, etc. and I'm using Firefox and IE on a daily basis.
Better to invest in a solid workstation as a foundiation for a real multimedia environment, in my case a i7 930, 24 GB main memory, 5 discs with 9 TB storage, etc. under Windows 7 64 bit and I run the following main suites in parallel and all are connected to the web without any problems:
* Adobe Master collection CS5 (mainly Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and Dreamweaver)
* Cubase 6 and Wavelab 7 for music production
* Tons of plugins and support SW both for Adobe (Redgiant, Boris FX, ProDAD, Roxio, Juicer, etc.) and Cubase (Waves SSL, NI Komplete, Yamaha N12 mixer, Lexicon, Soundtoys, SPL, etc.)
If you follow also the principle to never ever install a SW piece without checking first a trial version (1 by 1 of course...). To be protected in the worst case you should use a product like Norton Ghost for data backup and recovery --> never happened to me in my current environment for emergency perposes, i.e. in the last 6 months.

Logic Pro 8 crashing on start up after reinstalling on old mac hard drive

I have an Imac G5 1.8Ghz with 2GB of ram which I had a larger hard drive fitted a few years ago, but for some reason after not using it for a month or so, the hard drive decided to pack up, so I had the original hard drive which was smaller but still worked which I refitted to get my Imac going again. So I had to reinstall Logic Pro 8 onto that drive but after all the install was completed, tried to start logic and it just comes up with a box that say "The application Logic Pro quit unexpectedly" with options to reopen, report or quit. Well it did the same when retried many times. I dont have my Yamaha N12 connected as its on the new Imac so Im just using the internal audio inputs and outputs. But I cant even get it to start. I have tried doing updates etc, I dont have any other plug ins that I know of and have tried the help forums etc and tried everything else I can find but still no go. Please help.............cheers Mike

Lowest latency Firewire audio interface for Logic... which should I choose?

Hi Guys,
I'm about to replace my trusty Yamaha n12 with a dedicated firewire audio interface.
My main requirement is super-low latency for running BFD and other virtual instruments, along with monitoring through Logic directly sometimes (to add effects to vocals in real-time, etc).
I've narrowed down my choice (I think!!) to:
- RME Fireface 800
- Apogee Ensemble
- MOTU 896 Mk3
I have been told that the RME drivers are incredible, and hence it has the lowest latency.
I'd love to hear from other Logic users who own any of the above! What kind of latency do you get (round trip in ms)? What is the lowest buffer setting you can use?
Any downfalls or problems you've had with any of these interfaces?
Thanks heaps guys, can't wait to hear some opinions!
Cheers and thanks,
Mike

Thomjinx wrote:
If yeloop is using BFD, then direct monitoring isn't going to help him. That is for audio in.
Exactly.
FWIW, on MOTU Ultralites, I get a little (less than 1 ms) less latency with the Mk 1 rather than the Mk 3.
Perhaps the built-in DSP slows the Mk 3 down?
Interesting--thanks for the info (one more reason not to upgrade MOTU, frankly...)!
It is still 4.3 ms at 32 samples with the Mk 3. For MIDI controlled VIs, it would be less than that.
I think I measured 3.9ms with my Traveler mk2 at 44.1k with a 32 sample buffer. So, it's a bit faster than the mk3. At 96k I can use a 32 sample buffer to get 2.5ms latency, but I can't run BFD2 with a 32 sample buffer. Best I can do with BFD2 is a 64 sample buffer at 96k... 3.16ms.
But, you're exactly right, Thomjinx: with a VI, you won't hear that full amount of latency. Assuming the MIDI latency is negligible, the VI response time will be roughly 1/2 the full analog audio latency. (Logic reports both of the these figures--output latency and full roundtrip latency--if you click on the latency info in the Audio preferences. Be aware, though, that some devices report this information correctly, while others do not. For instance, with the Apogee and Metric Halo products I've used, the numbers reported by Logic are exactly correct, while with MOTU, the numbers shown in Logic are lower than reality: with a 64 buffer at 44.1k the Traveler mk2 indicates 4.3ms roundtrip latency with Logic, but I measured it as 5.6ms... so you may be misled if you try to use the latency values reported by Logic to compare products... in that regard, MOTU seems to cheat, while Apogee and Metric Halo follow the rules

Is anyone using a Digi 003 with Logic? What is latency like? Thoughts?

Hey EVeryone
I am looking at a Digi 003 interface for running Logic... we are keen to use an automated desk, instead of the Yamaha n12 currently in use...
The n12 has been BRILLIANT in terms of low-latency monitoring - we usually run it at a buffer of 32 samples and for most scenarios, even with a fair few effects running, that works really well for direct monitoring through Logic.
I'm interested to know what experiences people have had with the Digi 003 in terms of latency...
Another thing I love about the n12 is that I can just monitor straight through it, when I don't need to run any effects in real-time on the channel I'm recording. This is a simple thing that's really handy.
Is there any such option for running a channel straight through the 003 at zero-latency, if required?
Any other feedback, beyond the issue of latency, would also be welcomed!
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike
I have a 003R, I loath it. I have had to have it sent back for repair many times to Digidesign. I bought it to retain compatibility with ProTools incase clients brought PT sessions in. Well, since I bought it, I have had zero requests to use PT. It has issues with latency, frequently changing from one recording to another and not recognizing the buffer settings within Logic. The latency issues were the same within PT too, even switching from 44.1 to higher settings like 48Khz made it have latency. I have had enough so I am selling it and switching back to an all Apogee system.
Mattrix is right, shop around, there are way better systems for less money out there. Only get one if you absolutely need ProTools compatibility.
Sincerely
Bobbi
ps Another frequent problem is it "drops" from the system and you have to reboot it to use it again...

Need a sound card recommendation

Hi:
I've just gotten into using Premiere Pro CS5 and have gotten the rudiments down. I now need to do a voice over and need to know what kind of audio/sound card to be able to record the voice over to a file that can be imported into the program. There are plenty of sound cards out there but all they talk about is how they apply to gaming. So, I need a recomendation for a sound card.
Thanks in advance,
M

is voice really the orphan in this forum? Here we get great recommendations to spend thousands of $/€ for NLE HW/SW and a 200$ piece should be the cure of all voice issues? It's common sense that the ears are not forgiving even slight "errors" in comparision to our eyes (tons of daily broadcasted mobile videos prove this ...)
Jokes aside --> I also own a H4N, but would never go (for serious work) with the WAV file into PPRO (in my small home studio together with AKG C214 mic into a Yamaha N12 digital mixer, DAW Suite from Cubase and Genelec monitors/basswoofer, cost approx 3 K).
Besides the url provided from Harm a quick deep dive can be found here:
http://izotope.com/products/audio/nectar/index.asp
The advanced video files on this WP show virtually all voice related issues and possibilities to get a broad, impressive and convincing VO sound.

M-Audio 410 Firewire - Mic problems

I have Windows i7 64bit, and a M-Audio 410 Firewire soundcard.
I can't get the mic to work in Skype, byt it works fine when I record with it in others audioprograms (Soundboth and Audition).
I can hear when people talk to me through Skype, but they can't hear me talking.
I have try to change set-up for mic in Skype funktions, but I can't make it work
Any idea of what I can do - I use a RØDE NTG-2 and Phantompower is on
When I speak in the mic I can hear it in my Headspeakers

I have the same problem, but on Mac and with a Yamaha n12 mixer or a Behringer usb - up until now I didn't find a way to solve this. I'm afraid it's a skype problem, our mixers have nothing to do with it...
