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.

  • 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)

  • 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!

  • Audio Interfaces With Logic Express.

    I come from PC back ground, I run I use a Behringer UB1202FX mixer, Tannoy Reveal Passive Monitors, Oxygen 8 MIDI keyboard and Cambridge Audio A1 MK3 integrated amp. plugged into a 24 bit /96khz soundcard.
    I know I've to get a external audio interface to get 24 bit sound and to allow me to plug in my external equipment. Does anyone have recommendations? I looking for something around £300 maximum (not sure what that is in $)
    Thanks.

  • Set-up Roland Octapad 2 with Logic Express 8

    Is anyone familiar with how to set up the Roland Octapad 2 Pad-80 with Logic Express 8. I want to use it as a midi controller for some drum samples I have (not general midi drums). But like Addictive Drums or BFD Lite. I have it connected with an edirol e-mux 1x1 interface. But when I hit the pads there is no response. I have it set up in the Audio Midi set up. Are there settings within the Octapad I need to change? I've spent two hours trying to get it to respond and it's becoming a pain in the arse.
    Thanks for any help.

    Logic has a built-in midi monitor in the transport bar. When you hit the pads, are you seeing notes listed there?
    The Octapad's model was "pad-80", and there's a manual available on the web - http://www.scribd.com/doc/8356768/ Roland-Octapad-II-PAD80OM. If you're seeing midi notes show up and can't change the settings in Addictive Drums to match them, you're going to have to change the notes on the pad -- which will probably be more difficult than doing it in the software.

  • How do I use an audio interface with iMovie?

    I'm trying to shoot a short clip of a musician playing. I want to use an interface with my higher end mics, and use iMovie '09 to shoot video. I have a Presonus Firebox as my interface. iMovie just doesn't seem to want to recognize it, nor record through it. This isn't something I can share to GarageBand because the timing between the video and audio has to be perfect. Any help?
    Thanks

    Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example.  Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized.  Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
    The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

  • Using Multiple Audio Interfaces With Logic (Edirol FA-101)

    I just bought tiger so that i could aggregate my two edirol fa-101's and they still dont work. They cut out and the sync buttons flash. Its as if the computer ant deal with so much information. I stop all large processes on my g5 dual 1.8 and try again. They cut out whether im in Logic or not. One works ok but still cuts out sometimes, adding another has made the problem twice as bad. Any advice please. Ive talked to edirol and they have no idea what to do... Thanks, Ben

    According to their web page, the FA-101 does accept SPDIF. They should be wired together with one unit should be set up as a master and the other as a slave. You units should sync up then.
    As they are right now, the two units are competing to sync with Logic, causing the sound to pop and cut out.

  • Audio Interface with Logic-best bet?

    I've been using a Firepod for the last 2 years and it's fine but today a friend of mine brought over a MOTU MK3 Traveller and it sounds so much better. He got it recently but has to sell it and offered it to me for a good deal. It's got me thinking that maybe I should have a look at some other stuff before committing so now I'm looking at the Duet or maybe even an Ensemble. The Firepod was nice because of all the inputs but I could live with only two(Duet) but would much prefer four mic inputs(Ensemble).
    The Ensemble might be out of my budget at the moment so do I buy the MOTU MK3 Traveller(four inputs) off my friend or get the Duet?
    Any Advice?

    I have and love the Apogee Duet, and it has served me well so far at home and doing field recordings with my Macbook Pro.
    For instance, last week I recorded a sitar concert, and brought a small setup - a matched set of Rode NT1As, an A.R.T. MPA GOLD two channel tube pre, and my Macbook Pro/Duet combo. I barely had any time to get situated, and what's more, I got pulled into setting levels for the PA, which was kind of dicey, since the sitar master opted to forgo doing a soundcheck before the concert, so I had to wing it.
    Before I scooted over to the board for the PA, I took an educated guess at some levels for the Duet and MPA GOLD. The Duet has such a low noise floor and such ample headroom that my educated guess was more than good enough. What's more, it is quite easy to use, so it took no time at all to dial in the gain setting I wanted, using the Maestro software that comes with it. The recording sounds gorgeous, considering the rushed circumstances of its setup. I would describe the quality of the Duet's sound as "crystalline."
    That said, if you are looking for more channels in but are not ready to spend Ensemble money, we have a Mackie Onyx 1620 at work (or 1640 - I don't remember) that I use all the time for tracking all kinds of performers. Its pres are quiet and transparent, although they only provide so much gain. We run 4 channels of outboard pres through compressors and into four of the Onyx's pres. 8 XLR ins, 8 more ins arrayed in stereo pairs, all 16 channels are piped via Firewire 400 into Logic, and the two output channels back out. Plus, its a great mixer for conventional mixing purposes - good eq, simple, sturdy design. Not bad for under $1,000. I just saw they have a newer version out - the Onyx 1620i, but I don't know what that "i" is designating as far as improvements. They make Onyx mixers in several models, each with a different number of channels, so maybe one of these would work for you...
    I hope this was helpful!

  • Problem Using Zoom H4 as an Audio Interface with Garageband

    I'm new to GB and I am having problems getting started using my Zoom H4 as an Audio Interface with Garageband on my iMAC.
    I'm fairly certain that I have the connection and all of the setting configurations correct, and yet I cannot get any sound from the H4 into GB.
    I do see the sound volume registering in the Input Level window of the H4, but not in GB.
    Here is what I see in my Garageband:
    Preferences >
    Audio/MIDI >
    - System Setting
    - Built-in Microphone
    - Built-in Input
    - H4 Audio IN (when H4 is connected to the iMAC via USB)
    Of course I have selected the H4.
    Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Operators standing by!

    I don't have a H4 but do have a H2. Did you set the H4 as a audio interface, after you plug it in choose interface in the H4 screen?
    Did you choose the H4 input channel in the track info?

  • I just purchased an extreme.  I have an express.  The sales guy recommended setting up a hot spot with the express and use the extreme as a base station.  What does he mean and how do I do this?  What are the advantages?

    I just purchased an extreme.  I have an express.  The sales guy recommended setting up a hot spot with the express and use the extreme as a base station.  What does he mean and how do I do this?  What are the advantages?  How do I set this up?????

    I think he means to set up the main extreme as the main router or "main base station", and then use the express to "extend" the network.
    You can look up the manual for your express here for more details:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/
    Extend the range of your network by adding AirPort Express to your existing AirPortExtreme or AirPort Express wireless network (this is called a Wireless DistributionSystem, or WDS). "
    Extending the Range of an Existing AirPort Extreme or
    AirPort Express Network
    You can extend the range of an existing AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express wirelessnetwork by setting it up in a WDS. Wireless computers can connect to the network andshare the Internet connection, share files, and play network games. If you connect yourAirPort Express to your home stereo, computers on your wireless network can useAirTunes to play music on the stereo from iTunes. If you connect a USB printer to yourAirPort Express, all of the computers on the network can print to it.
    n Open the AirPort Setup Assistant on a Macintosh, or the AirPort Express Assistant on acomputer using Windows XP. Follow the onscreen instructions to extend the range ofyour AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express network.
    Note: Extending the range of a network using WDS may reduce overall networkperformance.
