Mobilepre audio interface not working with logic express 8

I have been using an M-AUDIO usb interface for garageband for the last year,i recently installed logic express 8 and i just can't get any sound whilst trying to record,logic displays a signal in the channel strip but no sound comes from my monitors,only when i plug the ear phones into the interface can i hear what i'm recording.I've tried every trouble shooting option in my apple pro training book like monitoring and audio preferences.I've contacted M-AUDIO but they just put me on hold as if there really busy!!!
in the end M-audio emailed me and blamed logic,they told me to contact apple,W@**ERS!!

Welcome to the wonderful world of M-Audio!!! Now, what you are doing is perfectly NORMAL. You need to hook up speakers to your audio interface. Where the little diagram says so:

See? The reason this is so, is because when you are using this interface, you are BOTH using the inputs AND outputs. Logic always works like this, it is a requirement to use "a full-duplex sound card" which means a sound card that has inputs and outputs.

M-audio blaming everyone else is not new, however, your "issue" is a user issue, not a gear issue.

USB Interface Not Working With Logic Pro 9

Hello,
I've had a Tascam US-1641 for several years now with absolutely zero issues on my old PC. Ever since I upgraded to Mac (early 2011 17 inch Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard) I've had nothing but problems with the US-1641. No matter how many times I uninstall-reinstall the drivers and what USB port I plug it into, whenever I turn on the device and it's connected to my Macbook, it crashes my operating system and it freezes everything I was doing. Logic Pro doesn't load and when it sometimes does (10 minutes later), it immediately crashes when I click anything.
I've tried several tips to fix it and nothing worked. The most popular choice was select the default input/output in Logic to the system audio, then quit Logic, turn on the interface, then restart Logic. No such luck. I have to reboot my machine at least 5 times, uninstall/reinstall the driver and hope it works to use the interface. I thought it was the operating system, so I upgraded to Mountain Lion and installed the new driver for Mountain Lion, after of course deleting the other drivers and removing all previous data, and it is still giving me the same problems.
I don't have the money to afford a replacement model or a different interface from a different company, so I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out what exactly it is that's causing the interface to freeze my operating system and crashing my Mac whenever I try to use it. I am getting extremely frustrated at this and as much as I love OSX and Logic, what good is this piece of software if I can't use it? I need help.
Thank you.

The problem lies with Tascam and their inability to write stable drivers for OS X... and isn't anything to do with Logic Pro ..
As you know, you are not the only person to have had this issue and the reality is, while the 1641 might work fine with Windows, when it comes to OS X Macs.. it's an entirely different story... depending on the version of OS XS you are running.
The one tip I have read, that seemed to fix it for most people.. (Though not all) is as follows;
(Thanks to Paulypaulpaul for this)
-uninstall your tascam driver 2.10
-restart
-install driver 1.03
-restart
-plug in your tascam
-goto where you download your drivers (http://tascam.com/product/us-1641/downloads/), scroll down to the bottom where it says firmware, Download the firmware 1.02 (3rd from top under firmware), install it. your control panal should now read 1.03 for your drivers and 1.02 for your firmware.
-install drivers 2.10
-restart
Follow each of the steps exactly.. including all restarts when indicated..
...and good luck...

Please help... jam packs not working with logic express 8

my jam packs do not work. i go to the library tab, open one of the jam packs category, "Symphony Orchestra" for example. i choose an instrument folder ("strings" for example), and then an instrument. a window pops up and says "File not found... Result code = -43". What does this mean? What can i do to fix it?
You my also know that the jam packs work fine in Garage Band.

Hi,
on a UNIX based system, every file has it's own set of permissions who own it, who can read it or who can write to it. Sometimes, things get corrupted (often during an install or update, when administrator rights are used or not used....)
However: Open the Harddisk Utility in the Applications/Utilities Folder. Select your Harddisk and klick on "repair permissions". Wait for some minutes (takes some time).
You should do this not only now, but before and after every major update/change to your system.
The next step, if this doesn't work, would be to manually locate the files EXS24 is missing, but for this better ask someone in the Logic Pro forum.

Audio interface not working with Mavericks

I know this has been asked before, but I only just got Mavericks and it won't recognise my M-Audio MobilePre as an output source. I've tried installing new drivers but it didn't work. Now I have $800+ of equipment that I can't use. Is there anything else I can try to fix it? Or can I downgrade my OS?

I think it's something you need to take up with Avid.
Firstly, do Avid support the hardware on Mavericks? If they do, then that means it's a unique problem which hopefully can be fixed.
Secondly, are any relevant messages being logged when you access System Preferences > Sound or Audio MIDI Setup? Open Console utility, and have a look. You can filter for particular search terms, but start by looking at the time you do it.

Does M-audios project mix I/O not function with Logic express 7.2 ?

I am having lots of problems getting this working, and it suddenly occurs to me that this equipment may not work with the Express version. Anyone know?

Scott,
You bring music to my ears. A few questions (I'm sold at this point, just want these questions answered for sugar coating, I guess):
1.) Does the Project Mix communicate effectively with Logic's 'MIDI Learn' feature? I tried utilizing this with M-Audio's Trigger Finger, but the Finger (or Logic, can't tell which) did not lock on to the assignment. Having any trouble with this?
2.) Are there memory banks and is it easy to save all settings at any given point to certain bank? Ideally I'd like to have a different memory bank for each song, so an extensive inventory of blank memory would be very useful.
3.) How's the LCD Screen? Really awesome or uncommunicative with the user (as in, do the abbreviations make it difficult to read, or is it fairly intuitive?)
Thanks a lot. And Stash, your words are tight, too.

I have East/West Symphony. Will it work with Logic express and do I have to have that little red usb drive in the computer to authorize it?

I have East/West Symphony.
Will it work with Logic express and do I have to have that little red usb drive in the computer to authorize it?
Also, would it work with Garageband??

Thanks-that's the same driver I'm using now.
The M-audio techs were unable to tell me if Quattro would work with LE8, so I've been wasting my time and money trying to make it work.
They also gave me conflicting opinions as to whether or not "tip" polarity was an issue when using an after-market adapter. One said definitely yes, one or two others said definitely no.
Their phone tech line has a 20 to 40 minute wait when I call. The online support system is confusing, which even they admit. I don't think my next interface will be from M-audio.
Thanks very much for the response, it helps me get beyond this phase.
Is the Quattro of any use for anybody else (i.e., can I sell it or give it away)?

Does mainstage work with logic express 9

hi , do all the features and plug-ins work with logic express 9 or are some features disabled .
or are they not compatible at all
thanks

I have just spoken to two supervisors and 4 underlings about this exact concern and they ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO BUDGE in regard to a sidegrade or smaller upgrade fee. I have been a loyal Mac user, ****, an EVANGELIST since 1990, spent well over 100 grand on the apple products I needed and I tried being super polite, explained that I had barely had a chance to learn a thing about Express since I bought it in the store after realizing that there was no way I could afford the Logic Pro 9 box sitting next to it.
THE ANSWER IS IF YOU WANT THE NEW, CHEAPER VERSION OF LOGIC PRO 9 AND MAINSTAGE, YOU NEED TO TOSS OUT YOUR ALREADY CANCELLED LOGIC EXPRESS 9 DISKS, FORGET YOU BOUGHT THEM IF YOU CAN, AND, IF YOU WERE DOWNSIZED LIKE I WAS 3 YEARS AGO BECAUSE MY BACK GAVE OUT...
GO AHEAD. SEE IF YOU CAN KEEP YOURSELF FROM THROWING UP WHEN YOU HIT THAT PURCHASE BUTTON ON THE TWO PROGRAMS THEY REDUCED IN PRICE.
REMEMBER, THOUGH...IT IS NOT LOGIC STUDIO YOU ARE GETTING. THEY SPLIT THE BOX UP SO THE REMAINDER OF THE SOFTWARE IN IT WENT INTO FINAL CUT PRO. THE ORIGINAL BOX YOU CAN STILL GET FOR $500 UNTIL THEY SELL OUT.
DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER. THIS IS ONE ANGRY EX-EVANGELIST WHO NO LONGER HAS ANY REVERENCE LEFT FOR APPLE. I GUESS WHEN THEY LOST STEVE, THEY LOST TOO MUCH. SOMETHING IS VERY, VERY WRONG ABOUT THIS POLICY. SCREW THE PEOPLE WHO SPENT THE WHOLE AMOUNT, NOBODY AT APPLE REALLY CARES ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT IS LEFT IN YOUR WALLET.
SORRY FOR THE RANT, BUT I AM IN SHOCK AFTER THE LAST TWO HOURS OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO SEE HOW WRONG THIS POLICY IS.
WE HAVE BEEN SHAFTED, BIG TIME. IN THIS ECONOMY, THAT IS ONE HUGE INSULT IMHO.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.

Recording Interfaces that work with Logic Studio

Hey there! I'm pretty much a noob to Logic Studio. I've been using garageband and reason 4 before that. I've had an M-Audio Fast Track that worked alright with Garageband, but it won't work with Logic, at least for me. I did some research and found out that this happened for most people.
So I was wondering, what's a good recording interface that would work well with Logic (which should then work with garageband) that works very well and worth the money that's paid for it?
Specs:
Macbook Pro
version 10.5.2
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Thanks alot.

Welcome to the forum jareddddddd, i do believe the problem your having with the M-Audio is the the drivers for intel, at the moment are Beta drivers.
Beta meaning they are going thought testing and isn't official drivers, therefore it might work or it might not.
As flood123 said the Duet will be much better, compare to low end M-Audio interface, which will sound far better and integrates well with Logic.
Also Fire-Face by R.M.E is a good interface, almost forget to mention Lavry interface which sounds way better than the two already mention that's only my opinion though.
Personally i have found it to be my preferred choice compare to Apogee low end interface that hasn't got the C77 clock work that Apogee flag-ship interface has, such as the Rossette 800 and AD/DA 16 carries.
Try and find a local music store and try out a few interface that is hook-up to L.P. by Fire wire and maybe you'll have a better choice in choosing.

Connecting Interface and recoding with Logic Express 9

Hi apologies if I've posted this in the wrong location. I need some help.
I have just bought an iMac (with Logic express 9) along with a focusrite saffire pro 14 sound interface.
i'm having difficulties getting a line in and out of the focusrite and into logic.
I currently have passive monitors plugged into an amp, which is then plugged into the headphone jack on the iMac, the focusrite is connected via firewire.
my mic is connected via xlr with phantom power into the focusrite, and my guitar (via an effect unit with built in pre-amp) is connected into the 1/4'' input. both signals are showing levels on the focusrite mixer software - but no sound. the only output from the sound interface is the firewire.
I can record, and play back in logic using my usb midi controller- USB direct into the iMac.
i've selected the focusrite as the driver in logic, also as the input device in system preferences on the iMac.
any ideas when I am doing wrong?
any help would be good
thanks
Chris

Hi,
there are some points where the big bear trap might have snapped onto your feet
First: You said you have selected the focusrite as the core audio input device in Logic. This is okay. But have you selected the correct inputs for the audio tracks you are recording to? You focusrite has 4 possible line inputs (1 and 2 are combined on the front in the middle of the XLR jacks, which are also inputs 1 and 2 for mics, and 3 and 4 are on the back).
When you connect a headphone to your focusrite, can you hear your mic or your guitar? (turn up the monitor volume as well as the headphones volume!)
Given you really have a good signal that goes into your focusrite, the same signal should be available in Logic *for the appropriate inputs* . It won't work if you have plugged your guitar into input 3 and have input 1 or 2 selected in the channelstrip's input selector tab.
Second: Given there's a signal coming into Logic, where does it go from there? The focusrite has 4 outputs, and you should connect your amp&speakers to them. If your amp&speakers are still connected to your iMac's headphone jack, you must select your Mac's "built in output" as the output device in Logic. The OS X preference pane has nothing to do with Logic's preferences. Don't confuse them.
Cheers,
Fox

How can I get an old Casio CTK-593 to work with Logic Express?

Title pretty much says it all.
I have a Fast Track USB from M-Audio to connect it to my pc but I don't know how to get it working with Logic.
Thanks in advance.

Did you check your connection with the audio-midi-setup.app in the programs/utilities folder of your MAC (not "pc" pls)?
If you have a working MIDI connection, you'll need to open up a software instrument track within Logic to play Logic's instruments via your keyboard.

Behringer UCA200 not working with Logic

I recently received a Behringer 1222FX mixing board for christmas. It came with a UCA200 which is a little RCA-USB product. I want to use this board with Logic 9 but i can't seem to get it to work. I added a track and selected Input 1 but when i hit record the only sound that was recorded was from the internal computer speakers.
I have already tried the board with Garageband and it worked fine. I was wondering if anyone would steer me in the right direction and help me get this to work with Logic.
Please note that this question maybe simple to answer as I am new to Logic.
Thank You

Chance has it I just tested the UCA-200, and its' quality is very clearly inferior to my ancient Macs' built in 16 bits audio. So don't use it, use the Macs' own built in audio instead. Chances are that the BIA of your Mac is 24 bits (which Mac do you have?), whereas the UCA200 is only 16 bits. That thing is only an improvement if you have an old PC with 8-bits audio. Sorry Uli (Behringer).
regards, Erik.

Focusrite Saffire interface not working with FCP 4?

I can't seem to get my focusrite saffire audio interface to work properly with FCP? It works fine with all other apps (itunes, QT, Logic etc) and all the other Studio apps (Motion, DVD Pro and Soundtrack Pro) - but in Final Cut the sound is 'distorted' and 'jumpy'? All focusrite and FCP software is upto date.
Has anybody else had this sort of problem? Is anybody happily using the saffire with fcp? (I can't seem to find any on the search!)
it seems strange that it wont work with fcp but work with the other apps of the package? I can't see any sort of settings in fcp to solve this issue? Any help?!

I am actually only using it to play back audio 'syncd' with picture straight off camera or importing clips from quicktime/DVD's etc. in FCP - it is this that I can't hear correctly? (all the clips are fine by the way played in other aps etc)
Yes, editing is done in Soundtrack Pro or Logic Pro (used to have pro-tools mbox - but decided to ditch it and go down the Logic route with another interface!) - but I expect to be able to hear basic audio with picture in FCP?
Sample rates are matched?...

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...

Mics and audio interfaces that work with Camera Connector

FYI: After playing with the Camera Connector I have been able to connect USB recording gear for use with MultiTrack DAW app on the iPad. The Blue Yeti, Samson's GTrack and Roland's Cakewalk Audio Interface all work for inputting audio. All three have internal headphone jacks which work for monitoring both the input and multitrack recordings.
One caveat with the Yeti: it appears to be almost at the limit of the power that the iPad's USB Camera Connnector can supply. Some headphones and earbuds shut down the mic. Sennheiser HD280 phones work fine, but some of the Sennheiser buds don't.

It has been reported before that a lot of USB audio devices (e.g., headsets, microphones). As an example see:
