M-Audio Firewire Interface Compatibility with Logic 8

Hi, i´m getting started in the Audio business and therefor i´m trying to build a small production studio.I´m doing it around Logic Studio. I would like to know if the M-Audio Firewire audio interfaces work well with this DAW???
Any info is welcome. Thanx

RealDave is right.
I own an M-Audio Firewire 410, and it's OK, but has some annoying quirks. I think there are better pieces out there. LP8 is supposed to integrate well with Apogee interfaces, and although I haven't tested them out there is a lot of buzz about them on the forums. I have a MOTU Ultralite and think it is a fantastic piece. If you're looking for something small and portable with lots of routing options check it out. It's won some awards and has a lot of good press, check out their website. I've heard a lot of good things about other MOTU pieces too. My recommendation is to figure out how many ins and outs you want, how much money you want to spend, and then check out Apogee and MOTU.

  • Audio/MIDI Interface Compatibility with Logic Pro 7.2

    Hello,
    Is/are there a recommended audio/midi interface(s) that will work without audio/midi timing glitches with Logic Pro 7.2? Currently, I am using Pro Tools LE v7.1, along with the DIGI002 Rack. That combination works very well, with no glitches whatsover. The possibility of using Logic Pro 7.2 raises the question of what would be a compatible interface. I don't think the DIGI002 Rack has the necessary drivers, although I may be mistaken. However, there must be an interface that works well with Logic Pro 7.2.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Hello,
    I went to the Metric Halo Web site and was not able to find the interface that you may have been referring to. It looks like the Mobile I/O may be the correct one, however, that interface is much more than I would want to spend (http://www.mhlabs.com/metric_halo/products/mio/)
    The price seems to be @ $1200. Anyway, I am somewhat confused regarding the Metric Halo.
    Any additional advice/help would be appreciated.
    Thank you,

  • Audio/midi interface compatibility with Logic Express Mac osx 10.6.5

    hi all, I'm looking for a compatible audio/midi interface to use with the latest mac os. I recently purchased a Ediroll UA25 but was unable to get it working . I installed the latest drivers from the Roland site but when plugged in it just wasn't being recognised. I sent it back and got a full refund but now I am insure if the Ediroll was faulty or if it wasn't compatible with os 10.6.5. I am now in the process of looking to purchase another interface but am looking for help from you guys.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    just out of curiousity: did you use the UA-25 or the UA-25EX? I know the 25EX has a driver switch on it's back where you can enable a standard driver which should be compatible to OS X without an additional driver.
    However, i didn't find another interface including a compressor except for the Yamaha Audiogram 6, if you need this feature.
    If you don't need it, buy a MOTU, preferably with firewire, or a Presonus. If you want quality, maybe an Apogee Duet. I myself - due to shortage of funds - still use either my Tascam Fireone or my Alesis I/O 2. The Alesis sounds nice for it's price, but i won't buy any of these lower end interfaces anymore. You get what you pay for. I also used the Edirol UA-25EX for a time, but this was before snow leopard, so i can't really say "Yes or No", but it was definitely a very good interface compared to it's price. I won't recommend M-Audio, however, but others like it.

  • MacBook Pro, M-Audio Firewire Interface-works with mainstage BUT NOT logic!

    I have a brand new mac book pro and a m-audio firewire series interface that i am using to plug in my guitars. The problem is i cant get any sound to come out of Logic Pro. I have connected the exact same devices to Main Stage and I can get sound instantly, however of course the sound output on main stage is selected to the computers speakers. I can't seem to find a similar setting on Logic Pro, could this be the problem, or maybe even another setting I have set incorrectly?

    Here's where we're at, I completely agree, I do have a pair of power m-audio studio monitors connected through the headphone out from the computer itself, i should be going from the interface to these monitors directly.
    Yes, and have you done so? After you do this, in Logic do to preferences/Audio and select only the M-Audio driver, not the aggregate device but the dedicated M-Audio driver.
    As for the aggregate device, in the aggregate device setup try different devices as "clock master" until you find one that works. Maybe M-Audio Output.
    Logic takes user input, it's not a simple program, that is..... it isn't "Apple Simple" which I usually think of as close to brain dead.
    You will also need to make sure the correct set of inputs is selected for the track you're recording on, default is usually 1-2, if you're recording mono input 1 is left, input two is right.
    Also make sure you have "Universal Track Mode" in Logic Preferences/Audio selected. I would encourage you to first get things working using M-Audio's dedicated hardware driver, plug your speakers into the M-Audio main outs.

  • Is M-Audio FireWire Solo ok for Logic 9 ?

    Is M-Audio FireWire Solo ok for Logic 9 ?

    Yes. All M Audio interfaces work very well with Macs running Lion and Logic Pro 9. It all just depends on what specs you're looking for in an interface. Assuming the FireWire solo meeting your demands in terms of sample rate, bit depth, and ins and outs, go for it!!

  • What audio/midi interface works with new iMac 2014

    What audio/midi interface works with new iMac 2014. new imac only has USB3 and Thunderbolt.

  • Will my m audio Project Mix work with logic x?

    Hi, just wondering if my M-Audio Project Mix I/O will work with Logic X. I am currently running Mavericks.

    If it works with any other CoreAudio based app on your Mac.. it should work fine with Logic Pro X as the key is .. if it is compatible with your OS X version. Its not about compatibility with Logic Pro X at all in reality... as LPX uses Core Audio which is part of OS X.
    So do you have it up and running in 10.9.2 and does it work with any other audio app? If so which one(s)?
    If you haven't tried yet, you may be out of luck as the last driver update for your device was way back.. for 10.7.4.... and some people had issues getting to work under Mountain Lion, let alone Mavericks...

  • M-audio projectmix I/O with Logic pro

    Hey there! I´m currently using digi002 with Protools 6.9 and I´m going to buy Logic pro soon but I want the controlsurface to work with Logic wich the 002 dosn´t do. But the new M-audio project mix does! and it looks a lot like he 002 but better in my eyes.
    Does anyone have any experince with this combination? ? I´m planning to use protools m-powered and logic pro (the limitations in proltools m-powered I can live with)
    What is the general opinion about m-audio, is it good quality?
    Powerbook G4 1.25Ghz 512mb   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   protools LE 6.9.2, Finale 2006, MAX/MSP 4.3 and more...

    I'm down with you Nathan Pangburn
    i've been doing alot of tracks / albums / songs with m-audio and echo stuff and they are not bad at all
    of-course others are happier with digi and motu and others but i let my ears and mix do all the job for me
    if those pro interface are better than m-audio then it'll be as much as enough for only the real musicians to hear, but the rest of the millions of normal people won't really care
    they pay more attention if the music is good
    80% buy music because its good
    20 % buy music because of the sound and you can still fool them with a good mix
    so what ever makes you happy is what you go for not what makes others happy

  • Record sound from M-Audio Firewire Solo input with S/PDIF

    Hey there, I am using a m-audio firewire solo and connect it to my mac mini 2013 with firewire cable. If I try to record sound from my guitar, it is ok, however the sound from S/PDIF input cannot be recorded. I can see the sound signal from the mac input preference, however it just cannot be played or recorded. I have searched through the forum and found some people also have the same problem but just cannot solve it. Does anyone have some idea? Thanks.

    Have you selected the correct Input pair in a stereo Logic channel strip? Standard s/pdif is a stereo signal.
    Also, the M-Audio device may have to be set to slave mode as the incoming digital signal will have to become the master digital clock for the M-Audio unit.
    The M-Audio unit should probably be set to 48kHz, it's doesn't do 96hHz does it?

  • M-Audio Firewire Solo: Compatible with Intel Macs?

    Does anyone know whether the M-Audio Firewire Solo is compatible with the new Intel Macs. I've just ordered a MacBookPro and am looking for a non-USB audio interface so that I can record guitar tracks.
    thanks

    According to their web site, yes. Latest driver:

  • Can Anyone suggest and audio/midi interface for MacBook Logic Express?

    Can anyone suggest an audio/midi interface for use with a MacBook and Logic Express? I'm seeing a lot of problems with Tascam devices; does anyone have an interface that actually works well? Two audio inputs and midi i/o would suit my current needs, but more would be fine if it works.
    Thanks!

    Any of the Pro-Tool Mboxs will work with Logic Express. Kind of an unadvertised feature. But I have an original M-box with very nice Focusrite Preamps that works like a charm. No midi though.. some of the newer M-boxes have them.
    Also, I have a Presonus Firebox and I know they make some smaller interfaces. No problems working with those.
    M-audio Makes some great interfaces too. Their Fast Track pro would probably have everything you need for under $200.

  • M-Audio Fast Track Pro compatibility with Logic Express

    I am looking to add M-Audio Fast Track Pro. Does anyone have feedback for me, such as yes or no, or what else I might consider?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    I have one and it works great for me. I'm still using LE8, but I'm sure it works with 9 as well. I use is primarily to record vocals (I've got an older ElectroVoice condenser mic). No complaints. If I had the money, I might go with a Firewire device, since it would be faster (less latency), but I don't have any regrets using the FTPro at all. I also use it to monitor my recording with its headphone jack.

  • Compatibility with Logic Audio FOR WINDOWS

    Hi
    I'm considering buying a MAC to do sound recording on. I used to do sound recording on a PC using emagic Logic audio gold 4, running Windows 98. I still have all the old .lso files. Any hope in heaven of asking a mac running Logic Pro 7 to recognise these? If Apple's as clever as it seems to be, this should be doable shouldn't it?
    Thanks

  • Motu firewire daisy chain with logic?

    Actually 2 questions:
    1. I have a motu 896 HD and a 828. I try to connect these with the firewire ports with no success. aggregate devices? Does not work for me...suggestions?
    2. My 896 has main out 1-2 and analog 1-8. In logic the main out occupies 1-2 and analog 1-2 goes to 3-4 and som on... I have a mixing console and it would be much less confusing if the outs from the motu is the same in logic...suggestions?

    I have used the same 2 devices as well as an 896HD with an Ultralite, as an aggregate device with no problems. Do this:
    Plug the 896HD into your mac with firewire. Plug into the 828 from the 896.
    Go to the MOTU device setup, and set the Clock of the 896 to Internal, and the 828 to sync to the 896.
    Go to Audio Midi Setup, make new aggregate device, select both units, 896 first then 828 second.
    Open logic and select the Aggregate device in the Core Audio Driver preference.
    Then you SHOULD with any luck have both units working in logic, it should give you LOADS of inputs in the inputs section of the mixer. You can rename the inputs by either. Going to the Mixer>Options>IO Labels, and selecting "User Name" and inputting what you want it to be called. Or go to the MOTU device setup app, and change the input names there, then in Logic Select "Driver Name" instead.
    Hope this helps, it is possible so don't panic.
