Logic Pro 8 and nio 2/4 Audio Interface microphone input

I am new to using macs and have purchased a mac mini. I have fully installed Logic Pro and have nio 2/4 as my input for music via a microphone. Logic finds nio compatable but I cannot however get Logic to recognise the microphone as an input for recording. Logic does not also generate the microphones sounds ie when spoken into in real time. I know the solution is probably very simple but I haven't got a clue where to start in changing the settings ie on the mac and on logic. any help would be much appreciated

Open Logic, go to Preferences>Audio>Devices>Core Audio and select the nio as the Core Audio device.
I assume you have the mic plugged in to the nio?
Does it indicate that it gets a signal from the microphone?
The Mac will not 'recognise' the microphone, as it will not recognise anything plugged into the analog inputs of the nio - it will only recognise the nio itself. You have to assign in- and outputs to you tracks in Logic. So if the mic is plugged into input 2, you'll have to select that input on the track you want to record it on.

  • LOGIC PRO 8 with motu 828mkII audio interface

    I have bought a MOTU 828mkII Firewire and I am using it with a Mac Pro Intel
    dual core v. 10.4.10 running Logic Pro 8.
    My mixer is a Yamaha DM-1000. I have a problem with audio.
    I have the mac going into the 828 via a firewire cable, then out of the 828 to
    the mixer using 8 channel adat lightpipe. All devices have the same 48k sampling
    rate but I can not hear a logic virtual instrument, like a piano, using the adat
    lightpipe interface. If I use the analog "main outs" on the 828 I have audio,
    but nothing comes thru the adat output. If I use another application besides Logic with the same setup, the adat connection works fine. This leads me to think the problem has to be in Logic and how it interfaces with the Motu 828mkII. I have read all manuals and can't figure
    out what's wrong. Any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Pierre.

    Generally, outputs on audio interfaces are discreetly named. So, if your master output is set to Output 1&2, that might refer to your analog outputs. If you want to send the a different set outputs, say, a stereo pair via ADAT, you might need to send to outputs 5&6, instead of 1&2.

  • Audio Issue - Using Logic Pro and iMovie to Create Movies for Youtube

    I am trying to use a combination of Quicktime, iMovie and Logic Pro 9 to create videos of me playing/singing songs to post on Youtube.  Before I can ask the question, I think it would be best to briefly explain my process, so here's one example:
    One thing I try to do is video myself playing piano and singing at the same time.  What I do is open up Logic Pro and load my piano sound and arm an audio track that my microphone is plugged in to; I also go to "System Preferences" and click on "Sound" and make sure that my audio interface is selected for the input method.  Then, I open up Quicktime and select "New Movie Recording".  Finally, I open up my software for my interface and set it up for "loopback"...there's a picture below.
    If you look at the bottom of the interface, you'll see it says "DAW 1: Loop Back 1" and "DAW 2: Loop Back 2".  Ideally, this means that whenever I start recording in Quicktime, all of the sounds that I am making in Logic (the piano playing and the singing) will loop back into the computer and be recorded by Quicktime.  This does actually happen, but my question is this:
    I've noticed that the sound quality of software instruments is drastically reduced once they have been recorded by Quicktime (or iMovie) and I play the movie back.  Actual audio files, like me singing or playing a real instrument aren't really affected, but for some reason the software instruments sound very thin once I listen to the audio in the movie.  Why is this happening?  Is there a way to preserve the audio quality to be the same during video playback as it is when I am playing the instruments live in Logic?

    Interesting and convoluted way to get something done.. from what you're describing it almost sounds like the software instruments are somehow getting recorded twice but slightly out of phase.
    When you record your singing are you monitoring through headphones or speakers?

  • Audio Unit Problem with Logic Pro and Mainstage

    When I go to launch my apps, both Logic Pro and Mainstage get stuck loading an AppleAUspeechsynthesis or something along those lines. It never makes it past there and I either have to force quit or it quits itself. I can press control while launching Logic Pro, but then I only get basic MIDI. I just tried an archive and install and I'm in the process of reinstalling Logic Pro right now. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

    I just tried pasting my crash report. It seems like it is too long to post?

  • Is it OK to install both Logic Pro and Logic Express on my computer?

    Is it OK to install both Logic Pro and Logic Express on my computer?
    I use Logic to perform live, but i only have 2 USB drives on my computer, and i use them during my performances, one for my keyboard, and one for my audio interface...........therefore, i dont have room to plug in the "node key" in order to use Logic Pro.
    So is it ok for me to have Logic Express installed, too?? This way, I dont need to plug in the "node key" (or whatever it's called).
    I know i can buy a USB hub, but i cant afford one right now.
    Thanks, daddies!

  • Is Logic Pro X compatible with M-Audio Fast Track Pro?

    Hi,
    new Logix Pro X looks very interesting - does anyone know if M-Audio Fast Track Pro is compatible with it (couldn't find any topics so far..).
    Thanks for your help!

    Back to basics..
    I googled Fast Track Pro compatibility with OS X 10.8.x and found several incompatibility issues and no experiences in version 10.8.4 so far.
    So there is a risk that when ugprading Lion to Mountain Lion 10.8.4, Fast Track Pro wouldn't work any longer.
    And purchasing LPX for 180e and a new MOTU audio interface for 230e over doubles the initial price of LPX alone..not so attractive deal anymore..
    Do you know if there are any good ways to get back to Lion after installing ML if there seems to be problems with Fast Track Pro? I'm using MacBook Pro with preinstalled Lion. I googled too many articles on this and I'm still confused if going back to Lion is possible or not.
    Thanks again!

  • Logic Pro 8 RE-initializes Core Audio...

    Logic Pro 8 RE-initializes Core Audio everytime I open SOME projects. It loads all plugins and then the Progress bar re-appears and stars reloading everything AGAIN which in some cases is very time consuming depending on the amount of plugins. Any ideas (besids trashing pref's)

    I had this with Logic 6 and with 7 as well. Are you saying this is a new problem to you in 8? Then I'd be happy to here how you managed to get around this in the older logic versions!

  • Logic Pro 7 (7.2.3) Audio Units Manager crashes

    Logic Pro 7 (7.2.3) "Audio Units Manager" causes Logic to crash whenever it is selected from the Preferences menu. Most plugins have been wrapped by
    FXpansion's VST-AU program successfully, Logic (after much work) finally goes through the validation process on start-up, but I'm unable to see what's happening in the AU Manager. Running Logic on a Mac G4 Dual 1 GHz machine with 1.5 GB of RAM. Any suggestions on what could be causing this problem?

    the prob is most likely a bad plug in. some of them don't pass validation, others crash the validation program itself. go to the websites of your plug ins and check you have versions that work with your system version and logic version. make sure you check that the fxpansion wrapper is also current. also, if you happen to have the old logic tuner AU plug in from logic 6, get rid of it. it doesn't validate and the tuner is a built in logic plug in now.

  • So im trying to buy logic pro and just recently put enough money in gift cards on my account but every time i click buy app and go to billing info and then click ok it just shoots me to the first screen and did not charge for app how can i buy it ?

    so im trying to buy logic pro and just recently put enough money in gift cards on my account but every time i click buy app and go to billing info and then click ok it just shoots me to the first screen and did not charge for app how can i buy it ?

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

  • TS4498 Is music created in logic pro compatible with the logic pro x ? for instance if you have created something in logic pro and wont to add or tweak it a bit is that possible?

    Is music created in logic pro compatible with the logic pro x ? for instance if you have created something in logic pro and want to add or tweak it, is that possible? I suppose you would need the original logic folder?

    Yes it is more or less compatible, except the use of 32 bit plugins, which is prohibited from now on. So although you're able to open Logic projects as far as down to v5 I believe, it is advisable to remain for 'adding and tweaking' in your pre LPX environment.
    Have a nice day!

    Hi Kurt,
    The Mac IIci is not even powering on at all. Tried again with wih a tested power cable and no luck. 
    I think it's best that take  this issue to the Older Hardware Community. Not only did I see a fair number of replacement parts for the IIci avaiable online, but there also vintage external floppy drives as well. I'm not giving up.
    Thank you for your time and interest in helping.

  • Is macmini enough for a musician that works with logic pro and 10 plugin softsynth at the same time?

    I use to work with a music platform like garageband or logic pro and at the same time I am working with a lot of plugin software like toontrack, ik multimedia, musiclab, native instruments etc. On my PC which has the same specification as macmini i7 2.3GHz this was a big problem especially when I was selecting effects like reverb, chorus or compressor so I had to export tracks all the time. What is the minimum specs that I should have to work without any problem? Any help will be appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    For what you want the Mac, the Mac mini is OK. It has got a quad-core processor that will give you the performance you need and 4 GB of RAM that you can extend to 16 GB, apart from a removable hard drive.
    The problem is the GPU, but as the applications you are going to use don't require the best GPU, it will work properly. If you want the Mac mini, go for it. An iMac may give you better performance, but the Mac mini is correct.
    If you buy it from Apple, you have 14 days to return the Mac mini if it doesn't work correctly with the apps you need

  • Will Lion work ok with Logic Pro and 3rd party plugins?

    Will Lion OS work ok with Logic Pro and 3rd party plugins?
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    Regards James

    Well, Sylenth I know... works under Logic Pro 9 and it should be found by left clicking and holding... the Software Insturment Button (The one just below where it says i/o and then scrolling down in the menu that appears to the Instrument section below the Apple Plugins...
    I don't know about Massive 1.01 because i think that one is not Logic 9 compatible because it is so old.... and I have never used Vanguard... but according to it's specs the latest version should be found in the same place as Sylenth...
    Both Sylenth and Vanguard are 32bit plugins...
    ...and.. it probably doesn't help that you are using older/not 'legal' copies of these plugins.... *ahem*

  • Downloaded Logic Pro and won't run

    Downloaded Logic Pro and won't run. Keeps telling me couldn't open due to a problem. It says to update my software or reinstall it but it' won't let update it neither.

    Bought the software in app store, installed it and it just won't run. I have OS X 10.6.8 just donwgraded from lion and safri wouldn't work either since.
    The error window tells me maybe I should re install the program or update my software. I've done both, donwloaded the upgrade (Logic pro 9.1.7) and the install helper keeps telling I can't updrade my software like that. I need to chek for actualization through my computer. But the computer actualization finder "thingy" won't find more softaware to update.
