Help setting up my Aggregate Device

I'd like my aggregate device to include my interface and also my midi devices. Right now the built in line driver i can hear midi tracks but cant record audio. When my driver is set on the interface i can record audio but i cant hear the midi notes as i play them and they also dont play along with the song when its completed (playback).
This has been a problem of mine for awhile. i had it solved at one point, but to make a long story short, the problem is back.
Help ?

Try setting up the device in a new user account. or visit register.apple.com and verify your device is registered

  • Deperately need help setting up external midi devices

    I need help setting up external midi devices.....Motu828...Midi express...RolandXV3080....Motif rack.......HELP

    Theres not really much to setup. Assuming your synths are connected to the MIDI Express already..
    In Logic, make a new MIDI track. On the left hand side in the track inspector, among the parameters you'll see an option for MIDI Port and Channel. Just pick which port the track is going to, set the channel and device id and play (And be glad you never had to deal with setting up the old Environment window in Logic 5 and below).
    If you really wanna get into it and have all your MIDI ports named after the synth thats connected to it, open up Audio Midi Setup, create a device icon for each synth you have and draw the cables from each device to whatever port its connected to on the midi interface's icon.
    Then in Logic everytime you pick your MIDI port on your track, instead of MIDI Port 1, MIDI Port 2, etc.,
    it would be labelled XV-3080, Motif Rack, and so on.. I dont think theres anyway to do this within Logic itself (you can change the labels on your audio ins and outs, but not MIDI as far as I can recall)..
    If youre talking about having access to patch names and whatnot like Digital Performer and Cubase let you do, Logic doesnt use the xml patch lists everyone else does. The above steps are pretty much all there is to be done as far as MIDI.
    Heres my Audio Midi Setup window for reference.
    Now when I select MIDI Port 1 in Logic its named MWXT, port 2 is SR-16, etc..

  • Please help, setting up multiple ios devices

    Here is what I have.
    Iphone 5
    Iphone 5
    Iphone 4
    Ipad 2
    Ipad 3
    I would like to set up iCloud so that the devices can be backed up without the use of a computer. I would like
    1 iphone 5 and Ipad 2 to share photos/data/messages
    1 iphone 5 and Ipad 3 to share photos/data/messages
    1 iphone 4 on its own
    I would like all devices to be able to share downloaded apps/music IF they choose to
    Here is how I understand it and please correct me if I am wrong.
    I must set up 3 icloud accounts. Share a icloud log in with the two devices that I wish to share between and the iphone 4 on its own
    They all can chare the same Apple Store ID for downloads and this will not affect settings/contacts/messaging ect.
    iCloud will only hold 1,000 pics/videos before deleting the oldest per icloud account
    Music and pictures should still be backed up to a computer.
    Apps are remembered on the cloud.
    Any input really appreciated!

    - 1 iphone 5 and Ipad 2 to share photos/data/messages
    > iCloud account 1 (Settings > iCloud) + Apple ID 1 for store purchases (Settings > iTunes & App Stores)

    - iCloud will only hold 1,000 pics/videos before deleting the oldest per icloud account: Yes
    - Music and pictures should still be backed up to a computer: Music could also be stored in the cloud (e.g. iTunes Match), pictures yes (highly recommended)
    - Apps are remembered on the cloud: Yes, you can redownload former store purchases again (if the apps still exists)

  • Setting up aggregate device

    I'm trying to set up an aggregate device using 2 X Motu 828 MK 2 interfaces.  ....Signal is present on the 1st interface and on the external sampler that the sound is coming from.
    Midi signal also there but.......I can't actually hear any audio......I've checked the outputs in Motu audio setup/ Cuemix, etc....and signal is present.
    I can't think of what else I've missed here to get this happening.  
    So close !!
    Can anyone suggest what I've overlooked ?
    Thx

    Got it .....problem solved

  • Aggregate Device fails

    I am trying to use my audio outs and a wireless bluetooth speaker at the same time. I have followed instructions for setting up an aggregate device, but without luck. I have tried 4 different bluetooth speakers. The only thing I can think of is a sample rate issue. All devices, including the headphone outs are set on 44100Hz. However, all the bluetooth speakers are 2ch-32 bit and the audio outs are 2ch-24 bit.
    Is this the problem or is there something else? Is there a fix?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Anyone?

  • Aggregate device on the same firewire bus (fireface 800 and Lightbridge

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set up a aggregate device with my old RME Fireface 800 (on the firewire 400 bus) and this new M-Audio Lightbridge. But allthough I manage to create the device, there is no sound at all. The Fireface acts as digital master via a word clock cable. The Fireface are connected via a 10 m. cable to the rear connection (on my nes Mac Pro) and the Lightbridge are connected to the front. I know it's the same bus using those two connectors, so do you think a separate firewire board would be a solution?
    Regards Stig

    So the firewire "bus" and a firewire "interface" are the same thing then? Excuse my ignorance, I've just been put in the position that I needed to know this for the first time with this audio interface problem. The things I used my firewire ports for just worked without me having to learn much about it up until now. Also, I found some posts that the card had some issues functioning in a version of Leopard. I'm about to upgrade from Tiger (finally) directly to Snow Leopard. Do you (or anyone else who sees this) happen to know if there are any issues there? I appreciate the help very much Rod.

  • Unable to combine two distinct USB Audio devices into one Aggregate Device

    I'm trying to use Audio MIDI Setup to combing two separate USB audio speaker systems into "one" so that iTunes will play through both simultaneously.
    I can create the "Aggregate Device" and add the two USB devices but I can't get the two checkboxes to remain selected after I "Apply" changes when setting them up in "stereo". If I set them to Multichannel quadraphonic then I can select both devices but only one of them will play sound...I assume because iTunes doesn't output in Quadraphonic.
    I've searched these forums and the Interwebs and hear of people having success (and difficulties). Difficulties mostly because of the misunderstanding of what a "device" is. These are both EXTERNAL USB devices. One is SoundSticks and the other is a USB audio converter that passes analog into an amp.
    Why is this so difficult? Oh, I know...because  wants to sell you $80 Airport Express to stream music wirelessly to devices that are literally ON THE SAME DESK!
    Anyone have success (or confirm more failures) with what should be a trivial exercise...

    The idea with the Aggregate Device is to allow several audio devices to behave as though they are one multi-port device with discrete one to one I/O mapping. It is not intended for one stereo source to feed more than 2 channels of output.
    However...
    Set up your aggregate devices as 4 audio outputs, install Jack (http://jackaudio.org/) and use that as a virtual router with qjackctl.
    You may also get similar results with Soundflower (http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/)

  • Aggregate Device playback

    If I set up an Aggregate Device in AMS, and select my FireBox (In and Outs) and the Built In Audio Out (2.1 computer speakers), does this allow you to easily switch the playback? In other words, if I want to hear the track played back through what a listener might hear and toggle between Monitors and 2.1, can I push/click a button or do I have to go back to Prefs>Audio>Drivers?

    Ok - you didn't answer my question exactly but you made me think and I've got it. I've got the Aggreate, the answer was just switching the Output from 1-2 to 9-10 ( 1-8 are FireBox, 9-10 built in out in my set up). thanks Justin. I'll pay that!

  • PLEASE HELP!!! Can't Use Aggregate Device in GarageBand

    I have two iMics plugged directly into the two USB 2.0 ports on my iBook G4, and I used Audio MIDI Setup to create an aggregate device from the iMics. The aggregate device is recognized in GarageBand, but when I select it and say "OK" to the box asking me if I'm sure I want to switch drivers, it switches back to the input it was already set to.
    I tried using the aggregate input in Sound Studio and monitoring it in the Sound System Preference pane, and it worked fine in both of those places, but I need to record multitrack audio for a recording session tonight, and I don't have any other programs besides GarageBand to do it!
    Thanks in advance for any help. It seems that other people have had success doing this in 10.4 with GarageBand 2, but I don't have any luck yet.
    [Edit: Also, I selected the first iMic as the 'Clock' source and I have both sample rates, and all other settings set exactly the same (16 bit, 2 ch, 44.100 KHz, etc.).]

    Well, after a six hour recording session, I successfully used two iMics, and they did not drop out at all (or have any 'digital crud'). After I got them to work in GarageBand, I was unable to open GarageBand's preferences from within the application, so I had to use PrefSetter to change a couple things once I started recording.
    Only after unplugging both iMics and opening a completely new session in GB was I able to change preferences from within the app.
    Here's how I had the aggregate device set up:
    1. In Audio MIDI Setup, check the checkboxes ONLY for the iMics, and ONLY for the inputs (for some reason, if you check 'Use' for both inputs and outputs, GB can't handle it.
    2. Choose the iMic highest on the list as the 'Clock', and don't resample the other iMic(s) (no resample checkboxes should be checked).
    3. Click Done to get out of the Aggregate Device Editor, then, in the Audio MIDI Setup main window, choose the device you just created in the properties area, and make sure all the 'Streams' are set to 44.100 KHz and 16bit, 2ch.
    4. Quit Audio MIDI Setup, and open GarageBand.
    5. In GB, open the preferences, click on Audio/MIDI, then switch to the Aggregate Device you just created.
    If GB won't switch to it, go back to Audio MIDI Setup and change the aggregate device to only include you internal audio, then switch to the new device in GB, save the file you have open, then quit GB, go to Audio MIDI Setup and add the iMics, removing the internal audio (set it up as I outlined above), then quit Audio MIDI Setup and open GarageBand with the file you just created, and the device should be selected (but you won't be able to change any Preferences now).
    -Another note: The USB Hub I was trying to use (a high-speed USB 2.0 mini hub from Belkin) was not able to work very well - I don't think it quite had the capabilities of running either one or two iMics through it (the level was off, and the audio became out of sync quite quickly). I might be able to find a better hub (Griffen used to make an 'Audio USB Hub'), and I hope to try that out next recording session.
    As a final note: The band I was recording decided to scrap all the work last night because they messed up on the first track we recorded, but didn't realize it until the end (all the other performers played off that track). Oh, well... Have a nice Saturday!

  • Help? Aggregate devices not working in Lion

    Since buying a new Mac Mini Server for my audio work using Logic Pro 9 I cannot use aggregate devices. The system preferences as well as audio midi setup will not remember my aggregate devices that I create. Also when using them the audio becomes glitchy and a terrible noise happens.  I didnt have any issues like this in 10.6.8.  I cannot believe that Apple would let this happen for so long. There are many people in the pro audio world that rely on using aggregate devices and with them not working three versions into Lion this has become maddening.
    This is not a third party issue. This is not a hardware issue. This is a serious problem that takes the saying that "Macs just WORK" and flushes it right down the toilet.
    I spoke w a guy named Steve at Apple pro audio and he couldnt get me off the phone fast enough.  What the ____ Apple??
    PLEASE someone fix this?  I wont try 10.7.4 as it seems to make Logic work even worse.
      Please...I do not want to have to go back to using pro tools and PC's.

    please and thanbk you Eriksimon!   Full details - Mac Mini Server running Lion 10.7.3, Logic Pro 9.1.7  I use up to three Metric Halo 2882+DSP 2d units with the latest MIO console, drivers and firmware.  Many other Metric Halo and other multiple device users are experiencing this and it is maddening.  Ive been on Logic since 7 and am a analog-digital component level tech / electronics engineer / audio engineer with a decent knowledge of software.
    I also use up to two McMix (now Avid artist mix) with latest version of Eucontrol as well as V-control pro with my iPad to control Logics transport etc when not in control room and a Novation sl49 compact USB keyboard with latest Automap version All that worked together quite well on 10.6.8 - logic 9.1.5 on my late 2008 Mac Book Pro but that system was slow...so I was hoping that Apple had Lion "in a cage" when I went out to buy this new Mac Mini Server....  I guess I should have waited. 
    I am having these aggregate device problems on a totally new from Mac Store Mac Mini Server Quad Core i7, did a clean install of Logic and the Metric Halo software /driver /firmware package.
    Nothing else installed on this new Mac Mini but Logic 9.1.7 and MIO package. 
    Please....help get this bug fixed??

  • Setting up m-audio firewire 410 as an aggregate device

    Having an issue setting up my m-audio firewire 410 as an aggregate device. When I set it up it gives of this God awful distortion sound. I had it set up to my G4 with no problems. But then I upgrade to a MacBookPro, got the latest driver for this version and model, and still...nothing. Any ideas? I need to record and this is really bugging me.

    It doesn't sound good with anything else. I just updated the newest driver and I am still unable to get rid of that radio static distortion sound. It is becoming very frustrating. I know it has something to do with the fact that I'm on a new Mac, because I got it to work with my PBG4 and it still does. It would be kind of stupid to record with the PBG4 but not my MacBookPro. Unless I just get another interface altogether. I shouldn't have to. It's still a great inerface. There's got to be a way to fix this issue. I'm just running out of patience. Thanks anyway.

  • Help/Advice on Aggregate Devices

    I've been recording a podcast for a few weeks on my old Windows laptop using one microphone shared between all four of us participating, not ideal as you can imagine.
    I am now a MacBook owner after many years of ******* and so decided to try and use an Aggregate Device to record from multiple mics but I am having a problem with a buzzing noise from one of the inputs.
    The mics I am using are a Microsoft LifeChat headset and a Logitech USB Microphone. When used individually both work fine and give no problems. Once combined as an aggregate device the Logitech is fine but the LifeChat mic has a constant high-pitched buzzing/ringing on the track. I've tried messing with sample rates, re-sample etc but can not seem to eliminate this.
    Am I wasting my time here and better just looking at picking up a cheap pre-amp?

    OK, what I hoped would work does not
    But one thing that could simplify bringing your copies from the flash cards into the structure and naming they should be to be recognized by your current catalog:
    If you imported them into a temporary catalog, using the same naming and destination folder logic as when you originally imported them, this would bring the files into (or close to) the correct folder structure. Then in the main catalog, they could be reconnected easier if necessary at all. If you did have some kind of a date-based folder structure and did not do too much manual renaming, this should work quite well.

    Hi and welcome to the forum.
    I have never heard of the term "S0" and "S1" for drives. Perhaps you mean sda and sdb.
    Go into the BIOS, choose your equivalent of "Hard disk priority", move the drive that you want to boot first above the rest of the others, and then exit by saving the settings (usually F10). That should do the trick. Alternatively, you could open up the case and move the SATA cables around, but be careful if you use "sdx" name conventions in /etc/fstab.
    Thanks for the reply
    I made up S0 and S1 for simplicity. sda and sdb makes more sense I suppose.
    My BIOS does not recognize sdb in the priority menu, I'll try moving the SATA cables.
