Mbox 2 Mini for Yosemite?

Hello, i have two computers running on yosemite, and my mbox2 mini works on one (an older computer) and not on the new laptop i got in fall 2014. the driver does install, and it appears in my system preference, but there is no firmware, and it states that cannot connect. anybody know how to fix it?

Good news! After some searching I found this option that actually helped. Ill post the link, as i cant take credit: http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=356951

Trying to record Stereo Mix with a monitor through my headphones. Using Screenium to record Audio and Video, using Avid MBox Mini with MXL 909 Microphone for the audio through the interface.

Basically, what I am trying to do is this:
Record my screen through Screeenium, record my voice as audio through an Avid MBox Mini (interface) with a MXL 909 microphone to pick up the audio. I have all that figured out. I'm able to efficiently record my audio and screenplay through these instruments and programs. What I am having trouble with is the stereo mix. I am running into a slew of problems here... My goal: Add on the audio of a game that I am playing (for example, Amneisia) so that the audio for my game will be picked up internally, and not through the speakers to be recorded through the microphone. I want there to be no external sound except me talking into my microphone. I also want to be able to HEAR the audio of the game through my headphones (and if possible, myself as well, through a monitor maybe?)
Problems I have run into so far:
-Haven't gotten it to pick up in game audio at all while using headphone. Can't figure this out
-Downloaded soundflower, have the output as soundflower. Not picking up anything, will put all my sound and midi settings at the end.
-When I do record through my microphone, it is only picking up a single channel (left earpiece only, no right channel)
-I have figured out it is NOT the equipment, I use Pro Tools and am able to pick up both channels with my mic, recorded a few tests. It's settings and I can't figure it out
-Trying not to run 16 million programs while running the game, will cause lag.
Summed up:
Trying to record:
-Audio from gameplay of any game I am playing through alternative route of speakers (do NOT want to record game audio through speakers, internally)
-Record voice through Avid MBox Mini and MXL 909 microphone.
-Record screen gameplay through Screenium
I followed a guide that told me to achieve "stereo mix'' I need to download soundflower and follow "X" steps. That is done and these are my current settings:
Audio Midi Setup - Stereo Mix custom Aggregate Device, Soundflower (2ch) selected, Avid Mbox Mini selected, Soundflower Output #1 has 2 channels (1-2), using Avid MBox mini for "Input" in order to record. Using Soundflower AND Avid MBox mini as "Output" in order to hear the sounds and replay game sounds (could be the problem? Maybe?)
Sound Settings - Output Stereo Mix (custom channel) Input Avid MBox Mini (recording)
I'm hoping this isn't too hard to understand.. I'm VERY bad at explaining information regarding computers.. It's hard becuase I don't understand it. I can clarify anything that I am able to, so any help on finding certain things would be greatly appreciated.
My computer: Macbook Pro MAC OS X Lion (11G63) 10.7.5 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 13333 MGz DDR3 (If any of this is imporant)

Hey guys,
I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
What software are you using to record your game?
If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,

Mbox Mini and Logic for school. Question?

I am going to Fullsail in Orlando, Florida in Jan. 2008. They teach Pro Tools HD there, but just added Logic Pro to the Recording Arts program. I'm thinking of buying a mbox mini and Logic Express to get more familiar with both programs before going to school.
Will the mbox mini work as an interface for Logic? I'm just trying to avoid buying a separate interface. I'll buy one if I have to. What about the Emu 0202 USB ($129.00)?
Thanks for any and all help.

Thanks. I'm actually interested in post-production
audio. Sound design, editing, foley type sound
effects and the like. I'm a musician (drums, keys)
but have always had an affinity for the explosions,
door creaks, foot steps, and the "how did they make
that sound" type of stuff in movies and video.
I've heard great things about Fullsail. I'll have to
relocate there, but it's only 3 hrs. north of me. I'm
in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Thanks for all of the help.

Hi,
I undrlined the stuff you will probably be doing best in PT.Now I LOVE Logic,but the standard in studios for movies here in the USA is not Logic.It's ProTools.So learn that one first,as it is easier,and as you learn get through Logic.
Cheers

Is my iMac too old for Yosemite?

hi all,
i recently wiped my imac clean and partitioned my boot drive into two:
- one running os 10.6.x for music and protools (my version of which is only supported up to 10.6.9)
- another running yosemite (10.10) for the rest of my stuff.
every time i've wiped my system completely clean in the past, it bounces back running like a dream. this time, it's intolerably slow. i have a few hypotheses per why i wanted to post here before spending another full day investigating. in order of most to least likely:
1) migrating applications (esp adobe suite et al) back into yosemite with the migration assistant rather than reinstalling from scratch
2) yosemite not being a good OS for a circa-2009/non-solid state HD
3) two partitions with two versions of OSX installed on boot drive
4) insufficient free space on yosemite disk
here are screenshots from activity monitor and hardware overview. should i be thinking about installing a solid state drive in my DVD slot? uninstalling and reinstalling major applications from scratch? reverting back to 10.7 or 8 on my primary drive?
i would really, really appreciate any wisdom yall have to share. thank you!!

Is it possible to screen share an old iMac running 10.4 with a new Mac Mini running Yosemite

Is it possible to screen share an old iMac running 10.4 with a new Mac Mini running Yosemite. I am trying to bring the old iMac screen up on the Yosemite system

Hello! Not out of the box: OS X Mountain Lion: About screen sharing You'll have to look for third-party options like Teamviewer

Mac os 10.5.6. vs. digidesign mbox mini---Garageband wont detect mbox

I have my Motif ES6 pluged into my mbox mini which is plugged into my macbook....garageband does not detect my interface. i used to upload tracks like this on a older model mac,,,,,it worked just fine....now that i just got this new one...i can't do the same thing....I NEED HELP!!!!!!!! WHAT DO I DO To get my tracks to get recorded on GARAGEBAND?????? HELP! ASAP

Thank you for your time and advice.
When I set the Input Source to Mono there is no sound coming from the microphone into Garageband.
There are 6 mono options: Mono 1 (Didgidesign MBox2 Pro) - Mono 6 (Digidesign MBox2 Pro). And 3 stereo Options: Stereo 1/2, Stereo 3/4, & Stereo 5/6.
The only one that produces sound from the microphone is Stereo 1/2. when I choose the other options no sound appears when I press record.
(The Mic is plugged into Input 1 if that helps at all)

2010 Mac mini to yosemite

I am considering my 2010 Mac mini to Yosemite, is there any benefit

There have been varying reports it sounds like on saving the installer package so you can avoid redownloading 5GB installer to use again on same or multiple Macs you have.
From MacIntouch:
The procedure for making multiple installs from one download is the same as earlier download only upgrades.
After the massive 5+ GB download, the first screen is the launch of the installer.
Go to the "file" menu and quit then, before anything else.
Look in the applications folder for "install OSX yosemite" app or such.
Make a copy somewhere else.
The installer deletes this one when done.
You then make copies to other machines for installs there.
Be sure to use copies, as the installer deletes each when done.

Mbox Micro or Mbox Mini w/ Logic

Anyone here had any experience w/ an Mbox Micro (or Mbox Mini) and Logic ? Are they in any way compatible ??? Our band has been doing some recordings in Pro Tools LE 8, and I want to be able to work on the mixes on my downtime. However for work and my own projects, I mainly use Logic and wouldn't mind an external interface (I find my MBP's internal soundcard to be quite noisy, expecially when I'm running a second monitor using the DVI output...).
Thus ideally an interface that runs both Logic and Pro tools - perhaps an MBox Micro ???

The new Mbox series is about to be released so you may want to wait until then considering they're advertised to work with all DAWs.

Recording Level Low in Garage Band, Avid mBox mini, NT2

HI there,
I have setup a home studio. I have a MacBook Pro connected to Avid Mbox Mini Soundcard, two speakers and a Rode NT2 condenser mic.
For some reason, the voice or acoustic recording level is very low...I can still record but the sound level is very low and if I increase the input volume then there is a terrible echo...I am sure there is something wrong.
These are the solutions I have already tried:
- System preferences, I put the input as Avid Mini...and activate +48 button to power the mic.
- Garage band, I move track volume to track pan, Monitor ON, 24bits...and the Recording Level is gray-out since I am using an external sound card (I assumed because of what I read).
Any idea on how I can solve this issue, I am sure there is something wrong, the mic and soundcard can record this bad.
Thanks in advance. Mariano

Hi, thanks very much for your reply gjmnz...I finally went to Virgin like 7 times...during the same day...to figure out what was the issue...and here is what I have learnt:
- The memory of the computer is very sensitive to recording, that is why I read some blogs saying that the mic is unstable, some times is picking up and sometimes is not...for instance I was using Torrents at the same time so the pick up was horrible...over time. Because the torrent and internet connection was eating my memory, event though I have 8gb
- The other thing I learnt and I agree with you (thank you) is that you shouldnt be paying much attention to the leds levels in GB...that will miss you, you have to test and try different gain levels.
- The last thing and what solved my problem, was to buy an analog mixer console for the mic to enhance the picking...And now it is working properly to the point that now it makes senses to use the lower of the Dbs...the NT2a has -4 or -8 for ambient noise cancelling...
Conclusion, for me at least...if you bought a Avid Mbox mini and you have a Rode Condenser mic (NT2a or NT1000, I tried both) the only way to enhance the capturing of the mic is to get a mixer console...
This is the one I bought http://www.mackie.com/products/402vlz3/ (it is ok...but works for home recording).
Hope this helps the rest...I read that the low volume issue is being around since 2007...and I saw a lot of question unanswered...
Best, Mariano

ISE 1.2.1 support for Yosemite?

Hello all, just curious. I see in the release notes for ISE 1.2.X that support for Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) was available via patch 12 on the ISE1.2.0 train of code. That said, I see nothing in the release notes stating any support for Yosemite for any of the patches for ISE1.2.1, the latest being patch 3 released 1 week after ISE 1.2.0 patch 12. Can anyone please advise if Yosemite is in fact supported on 1.2.1 with patch 3??
Thank you very much in advance for your help
Jeff

Jeff,
OS X 10.10 is supported in ISE 1.2 p11, 1.2.1 p2 and 1.3.
Patch 12 for 1.2 and Patch 3 for 1.2.1 fix other issues for OS X 10.10, and I recommend updating to the latest patches for these fixes.
Here is the entry in the Release Notes detailing the fix for 10.10 in 1.2 p 12:
MacOsXAgent versrion 4.9.5.3 should be used and MacOsXSPWizard 1.0.0.30
Note that the description for these files denote ISE 1.2 Patch 11/12, ISE 1.3 release and above. ISE 1.2.1 is not mentioned, but follows the bug fix/release schedule for 1.2, with an adjustment.
1.2 patch 10 = 1.2.1 patch 1
