M-Audio MobilePre USB on new iMac

Hi All
Well, I ordered my 20" iMac on the 25th of August, and it wasn't suppose to ship till tomorrow. And today, I found out I got a nice free upgrade to the new Core 2 Duo 20" iMac, which really made me happy Looks like I'll be getting one of the first BTO Core 2 Duo iMacs, which is really awesome
Anyway, my question to you all is about the M-Audio MobilePre USB and if any of you got it working on the Intel iMacs running 10.4.7. Last I checked, they only had Intel and PPC drivers for upto 10.4.6. My Powerbook is running 10.3.9 so I can't test to see if it would work with the latest OS (plus, the power adapter had a melt down, so I can't even use it at the moment).
Thanks,

Hi phjo,
Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to wait and see when my new iMac arrives.
By the way, besides a newer and faster processor, is there any other major difference between the old 20" iMac and the new Core 2 Duo one?
Thanks,

  • Can't hear sound with M-Audio MobilePre USB driver in Logic 7.2

    Hi. I've installed an M-Audio MobilePre USB interface to hook up a nova mic and i've also hooked up an oxygen eight midi keyboard. Can't get any sound from Logic when i select M-Audio MobilePre USB as my driver, and can't get Logic to recognize my midi keyboard. I have downloaded the latest M-Audio MobilePre USB update off the web, and still nothing. I'm new at all of this. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

    I'm wondering did you install the drivers and after that plugin the usb devices or did you leave them plugged in during install?
    What happens when you unplug the midi interface and put it back in? Is it recognized by Logic by putting up a dialog that something has changed?

  • Home Recording w/ AT3035 & M-Audio Mobilepre USB

    Hi All-
    I am looking for a good way to get sound from my mic (Audio Technica AT3035) into my iBook (G3, OS X.3.9, 900MHz, 256 MB RAM).
    A friend recommended the M-Audio Mobilepre USB, but I've read about people having problems w/ condenser mics.
    I realize ideally I would get a new computer and an Mbox, but that's not an option. I'm a grad student, and funds are very limited. Even the Mobilepre is stretching it.
    Any suggestions/comments?
    Thanks,
    Wes.

    Wes: I purchased a Behringer mic200, which is a low priced tube preamp with +48v phantom power for a condenser mic. I have been very happy with the results and features. I know that A.R.T. also makes a good one. Only problem for you is that these preamps are powered via a wall wart. Set up is via the audio input jack as opposed to usb.

  • No audio selection after loading Driver for M-Audio MobilePre USB

    I recently downloaded the latest Driver for my M-Audio MobilePre USB on my Mac Pro and the audio input out put selection in the system preferences are not showing up. However it does show it listed in "Other" in system preverences, but only the volume control.
    How do I get it the input and output selection to work?

    I tried calling them but they said you need to have a service number, when you registered, which I got mine about 9 or so years ago and dont remember any numbers!
    You need to purchase a number to talk to service, its a bunch of c#@@p.

  • As there is no audio input on the new iMac range, What external equipment will allow me to record onto my iMac ?

    As there is no audio input port on the new imac range, what external epuipment can i use to record dj podcasts from a pioneer DJM 700 mixer?

    I'd be inclined to use something like the Numark Stereo I/O. If you're currently using the line-in on an iMac then you will see a drastic improvement.

    That said, you can spend as much or as little as your wallet will allow on a USB input device, more investment brings better quality ADCs, higher bit rates, lower latency and more inputs.

  • PLEASE HELP - No Audio or video on new iMac

    Hello all.
    I have a new iMac. 3.5months old. Just this week it started acting up on me. I cannot play any audio or video files. itunes won't play songs, YouTube won't play videos, etc. I can't figure it out. I've tried renewing Quicktime but it says i already have the newest version installed. When i try to play youtube vids for example....i get the 'blue lego icon' with a question mark beside it.
    If anybody has any insight into this than please let me know.
    Thanks
    Overly Frustrated

    What software have you installed during the past week, as in shortly before the problem developed? Have you recently used Maintenance applications like Onyx, etc?
    When you try to play music in iTunes and it doesn't work, exactly how does it not work? Do you get some kind of error message? Does iTune act like it is playing the music but you just can't hear it? When you examine the Sound settings under System Preferences, does anything look questionable?
    Take a movie you would ordinarily play using QuickTime. Highlight the movie file and then Right click on it. Under "Open With" are you given multiple choices of applications to open the file? Do any of them work?
    If you do the same thing with a Music file NOT located within iTunes, are there any applications that work?
    What browser are you using to access YouTube?
    Sorry, no answers. Just more questions.

  • Firewire (AV) Videocam with USB-only New iMac

    This has probably been answered somewhere but can't find it. What sort of connector is required to connect my Sony DCR HC52 camcorder to a new 21.5-inch: 3.06GHz USB-only computer? My current 4-year old MacBook Pro has the firewire input, which works fine with this tape-based camcorder.

    Hi saxyjazzman
    It looks like the camcorder came with a FireWire 400 to 4 pin cable and the new iMac only has 4 USB ports and 1 FireWire 800 port.
    So it looks like you need either a Sonnet 400 to 800 adapter or a 9 to 4 pin FireWire cable that connects to your camcorder.

  • What do you think about M-Audio MobilePre USB?

    I need to buy an audio interface with my mac, but I don't really know what to buy. The MobilePre USB seemed to be okay for my budget, but is there any latency problems since the hardware is USB connected?
    What are your other suggestions for an audio interface that works well (Edirol, M-audio, others???)? I don't need more than two simutaneous audio inputs.
    Thanks again!
    Etienne Lehoux-Jobin

    I have the MobilePre and I'm pleased with it. The latency is not really an issue for me. It's low enough that when I record direct with my bass, I don't notice it at all. If you use the hardware monitoring headphone jack, be sure to turn off software monitoring, or you will notice a very brief echo/reverb sound due to the latency. I don't use the hardware or software monitor when recording guitar, and I either plug the amp's line out into the preamp or mic it. For vocals I just turn off my monitors (or you could turn off software monitoring in Logic) and plug in headphones to the zero-latency jack. Sometimes I will turn off hardware monitoring and add some reverb to the vocal track while recording, and the software monitoring works just fine too... I don't notice the latency.
    One nice feature is you can plug in two mics, and two instruments and record them all at once, but you still only have two channels and can't separate them into four signals. That means you need to adjust your instrument volume and the preamp gain before recording since you can't adjust the mix later.
    But I do have my complaints with the MobilePre! The biggest annoyance is that after a while the device will make bizarre noises that get worse and you must reconnect the device. This happens after a few weeks maybe. But what's more annoying is sometimes after I reconnect the device my iBook will hang for several minutes before recognizing the device. On one occasion it caused a kernel panic and I had to reboot! I really hate this, since I take my iBook to work every day and have to reconnect when I get home. Plugging the device in while the iBook is still sleeping, then opening the case seems to work better.
    Another thing to beware of is the preamps aren't the best quality (obviously, for $150!). When I turn them up past 3/4 they introduce noticable noise and at night they pick up some weirdo radio station. I rarely need to set them past 1/2 though (which is low enough that I can't hear the radio station interference) and can boost the signal in Logic if it's necesarry.
    Overall, the MobilePre was so cheap the small problems weren't enough for me to say I regret buying one. I haven't heard anyone else have the same problem with reconnecting the device so I can't say you'll have the same problem. I've had mine a year and I'm looking to get a Firebox soon, since I have started to outgrow my MobilePre. But it has served me well.

  • Trying to record using M-Audio MobilePre USB- Signal but no sound

    I'm trying to record an acoustic guitar using the M-Audio MobilePre. GarageBand is picking up the signal while I'm recording, but when I go to play it back, I'm unable to hear any sound. What am I doing wrong?

  • Updated: Firewire audio recording on brand new iMac makes weird digital noise

    I am running Ableton Live 8 Suite on a 2011 Entry level iMac. i am using an Maudio Firewire 410 with a FireWire 400 to 800 cable. recently when i record audio (say from a guitar) the audio will cut out and be replaced by a wierd low freq digital noise. i uploaded a clip of it. its not just static. it will come in and out as i play.
    http://cl.ly/3f3R2H2z3H3K3F3z1P3d
    Things i have tried:
    -different guitars
    -Maudio FireWire Solo (different interface)
    -uninstalled and reinstalled the driver
    -Different firewire cable
    -turned off Bluetooth on computer and Bluetooth devices
    -turned off airport
    when i restart the interface or computer it works for about 5-10mins then cuts out again...
    but i still get normal audio through it (iTunes, internet, even Ableton)
    it seems to be isolted to just audio input. i had multiple tracks playing in Live. my input was working fine but when it punched in to record it morphed to the weird digital noise.
    i could record a single channel fine with nothing else playing but recording with multiple channels playing seems to "lock up" the audio though i am only using 25% CPU...
    is this something with my iMac or Lion? i changed out interfaces, cables, and drivers....thats the only thing i can think of…
    any thoughts from you smart people out there?

    ok so i tried a differnet cable and the same thing happened...

  • M-Audio MobilePre USB Popping

    Hi
    I've read some of the posts here and elsewhere and cannot find a solution.
    I have a brand new MacBook Pro, all maxed out ( not Retina Display ). My previous (and dead) 17" MacBook Pro 2007 model didn't have this problem. My speakers randomly pop and quite often when new windows or apps open or close. I've tried all sorts of supposed solutions with latency settings and cannot fix this.
    Could this be due to USB 3? My old MBP had USB 1 and USB 2.
    If this is true, I don't really want to spend more money looking for another interface when this one worked great for years.

  • M-Audio MobilePre USB Drivers settings with G4 PB 1.33

    Can anyone tell me the optimum driver settings for play and record on my PB G4 1.33GHZ 768MB RAM
    Currently getting intermittent 'cracks' with 4 audio and 4 Instrument channels with not a lot of plug-ins. CPU AUDIO reading 80% at 128 I/O buffer, larger disk buffer unchecked.Thought it was 'static' but no!
    Driving me mad!!!
    Will a Firewire I/O improve things, if so what?
    Powerbook 12 1.33GHZ Mac OS X (10.4.8) 768MB RAM

    Hi, I'm new to logic and the forum but with a similar powerbook I wanted to see how far I could push it without having problems.
    With 28 audio tracks and 3 instruments with maybe 8 reverbs, compression, flanger and eq while playing an additional audio instrument my CPU AUDIO meter never goes above 60-70%. The I/O meter peaks every so often but I don't notice any ill effects.
    I've set the I/O buffer from 0-1024 and larger disk buffer checked with not much of a difference. The only thing that affected anything was having cpu performance set to automatic in the system preferences/energy settings.
    When you say "cracks" do you mean latency while recording a guitar, etc.? I'm really curious to find out because I'm shopping for an interface to record guitar with amp modeling and have been told firewire's the way to go. The TC Electronics KONNECT 24D comes highly recommended because it has onboard DSP and Hardware monitoring which does'nt use CPU power.
