No audio output on record enabled audio track

Hi guys,
Not sure whether anyone else has encountered this issue with Logic X. When recording using an audio track once the record enable button is selected I am able to see input but the input doesnt go to any output so I am unable to monitor what I want to record. Once I record I am able to hear what I have recorded on playback. The issue has nothing to do with my audio interface as it does the same thing with the built in audio and output.
This problem doesnt exist when using audio instruments and it seem to have just started randomly.
Please help!
System spec
OSX 10.8.5
Procesor: 3.4 GHz intel Core i7
Memory 32 GB
Logic 10.03
Audio Interface: M-audio project Mix

I think this might help the discussion. I also have auto input monitoring selected. I can also hear the audio when I click the input monitoring button.

Turning on "record-enabled" audio track in premiere pro 5.5.

I'm trying to do a simple voice-over in premiere pro 5.5. I've followed all the instructions given in the tutorials yet I keep getting a prompt saying " You can't record because one of your record-enabled tracks is turned off? I know i'm missing something simple but can't seem to determine what it could be. Does anyone know what it might be?

Adjusting audio output based on an audio input!

Kay so I live in an older apartment where my AC bombards my eardrums every ten minutes. My stereo master slider on my mixer is my best friend for overcoming this inaudible catastrophe! Men, I need you to help me link my microphone to my audio output gain so one of my arms doesn't get very strong compared to the other. I've been working out my other arm on a daily basis, but it's coming to the degree where I can't walk in a straight line. To prevent the repetitive volume increases and decreases and keep me from walking in circles, is there some software I can use to auto-adjust the gain from my machine?

Ok,
Looked simple, but fun, so I did it. Where you go
#!/bin/bash
MAX=20.0
MULT=1.0
TIME=5
function volume(){
arecord -f S16_LE -r44100 -d $TIME 2>/dev/null|sox -t wav - -t raw /dev/null \
stats 2>&1 |awk '/RMS lev dB/ {print $NF}'
level=$(volume)
while true; do
new_level=$(volume)
diff=$(echo $new_level - $level|bc -l)
level=$new_level
adjust=$(echo "
v=$diff*$MULT;
if (v < $MAX && v > $MAX*-1){
if (v > 0) {
print v,\"%+\"
} else {
print -v,\"%-\"
} else {
print \"0%+\"
}"|bc -l)
echo $diff,$adjust
amixer set Master -i $adjust >/dev/null
done
Its use arecord and sox to calculate the noise and bc to do some math (because bash is dumb =[). Some parameters MAX is the maximum absolute adjustment that can be made, MULT is a multiplicative factor applicated to the difference of dB measured, and TIME is how much seconds to record in each pass.
TIME can be used to adjuste the reaction time, a small value (like 1) react nearly instantaneous but a bigger value like 6 give some margin for rapid pops in the noise and only adjust if the noise difference existed in much part of TIME window.
When I use pulseaudio MULT=1 works ok, but with alsa I need MULT=5.
About pulseaudio, I started using it this week, and I really think that using pulse audio you have a lot more clear/cool/functional solution, but I need to explore it...
I dont know much about sound theory, so I dont know if I choose the best 'volume' description, but you can look at sox man pages and look for something more adequate (look for stats and stat).
PS. I hate bash... zsh is so much better (but, python is better than all) I only used bash because, uhhh I dont know the reason... masochism?

Audio output problem - using M-Audio Fasttrack

I had been using Logic Express (7.2.3) without any issues until recently plugging in a mic through my M-Audio Fasttrack.
I don't remember the exact chain of events - but at some stage, the software instrument outputs were no longer audible played either through the M-Audio, with earphones attached to its output, or through the laptop.
Even after disconnecting the Fasttrack, resetting the audio driver to 'built-in-input' and rebooting Logic Express, I still can't get any audio output from the software instruments. They aren't muted and the volume is turned up. Audio output from other programmes is working fine.
Can anyone give me any tips on how I could resolve this/suggest what I might have done to screw the audio up and what I need to do to undo it?
Thanks,
Antony

this is actually really simple
i just had the same problem with my m-audio and called support
when you plug in the m-audio fast track mac automatically sets the input and output through the fast track. To fix this you need to create an aggregate device. heres how:
click the finder in your dock
then click applications
in applications a utilities folder should appear...click that
in applications click Audio MIDI Setup
at the very top of the computer screen where it usually says what program is open it will say Audio MIDI Setup ..next to that click Audio
then click open aggregate device editor
you need to click the + to add a device
in the aggregate device screen it should say aggregate device.
below that check the option built in output
then check the option fast track (or device your using) the one that says 2 under the IN category and 0 under the OUT category.
click done
now open logic express (reopen if already open)
then click preferences
audio
under device tab the device option needs to say aggregate device.
click apply changes
and your done!
hope it works!

No audio output from built in audio

I do a lot of music production/recording on my mac, and to do so I use a firewire audio interface as my audio input and output while recording. When the device is not plugged in my mac usually automatically switches to the built in speakers or headphone jack for audio output. Tonight when I was done recording, I unplugged the interface, opened up iTunes, and went to turn the volume up, but what I got was the little pop op graphic of the speaker, with a little crosse out circle (like a no smoking sign). Now under my system preferences, built in audio is no longer listed as an option for output. After rebooting the machine the problem persists. Any thoughts?

You might try resetting the PRAM:

If this does not work then I would run "Repair Permissions" from Disk Utilities.

Record enable single track only...

this is a question i've been meaning to ask since L9! when i select a track to record to, and then go to another track, the original often is still in record-enable mode.how do i make it so that ONLY one track (the one i currently select) is the ONLY record-enabled track?
am sure i'm missing something obvious...

Ok here is a bit more info. I have not been home to investigate your possible soulutions but this may help. I am recording a a highlighted time frame of approximately 15 seconds. If i let the record go past the end of the highlighted region it starts over, doesnt stop, and keeps recording where the highlighted region begins. If i don't stop the cursor before the end of the highlighted region, the next time I record, the record enable on the track below it will be locked with it. Ive let it go over four times accidently so now there is a total of four tracks, all in order below the track that i want to record on, that are grooped. Booo....

Cant reset my Audio Output after plugging in Audio Kontrol Interface

Whenever i plug in my audio kontrol interface to use a microphone Logic recognizes it and changes the input so that it picks it up, but it also makes sets the Output to the interface, like what garageband did, but i cant figure out how to change the output from my interface back to its original speakers output! PLEASE HELP

Unlike GarageBand, you can't set input and output devices separately. You can create a set up using both your interface and built-in audio at the same time by creating an aggregate device. Instructions on how to set this up are here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1215
If you want to switch outputs on the fly, try using SoundSource. It's free, very useful, and you can find it here:

I can't select "audio output stereo" on a track in the arrange window

When I create a new song, in the Arrange window I can
choose "audio output stereo" for a given track, and
access the mixer's output from there. Fab.
When I open a song that I oringally created using Logic 5,
"audio output stereo" does not appear.
Is this something about the file format?
(a) is there something simple to do to enable that for
older songs, or (b) is there a way to convert older song files to LE7?
thanks,
fred, san rafael.
[email protected]

Sorry, je suis un idiot.
FYI. I went into the Environment window and found "Output 1-2"
to be un-checked. Checking it now makes "audio output stero" an available option in that song.
Thanks for listening.

Recording live audio from a Bus

Hey,
So what I'd like to do is record audio from a bus directly into an audio channel
I have a test oscillator in the input slot of an instrument channel
As you can see, the output is routed into bus 1
In order to process any audio that I have coming into bus 1, from any number of channels, I have bus one routed into an Aux channel, from which I can run any effects. Aux 1 (w/ Bus 1 in the input slot) is routed to Bus 2 (Bus 1 w/ effects from Aux 1)
As I said earlier, I'd like to record the audio from a bus, in this case Bus 2, into an audio channel so that I've got a continuous audio file. I figured the best way to do so was to create a record-enabled audio channel, with Bus 2 as the input, which I've done here
As the screenshot shows, the audio from Bus 2 is making it into the channel.
When I hit the record button, with "Audio 3", as the selected track no audio is recorded.
In other words, I can hear the audio, and I can run it through any processes, but I'm unable to record in a way that allows me to capture the live processing of the sound.
I tried googling the matter and some suggested bouncing the track the project, which should leave me with an audio file, in the bin, of the audio with any automated effects processing. Logic's stopped responding, with the mini "bouncing" window on the screen both times I've tried to do this- I'm not sure if this is a seperate problem, which I'll have to deal with at another time or if it's related to what I'm triyng to do.
In any event, has anyone come across a way to route the audio that would allow me to record this audio live, without resorting to recording only the effects parameters and bouncing?

Thanks CCT,
Checked the prefs and switched them to built in and it cleared it right up, but it did bring up another issue, because I don't remember ever switching it into the "none" position.
I'm working with a USB audio interface that I remove when not in use; possible that logic automatically reverts to "none" rather than "built-in" when I remove it, and can I make it so reverts directly to "built-in" when the interface is removed?

Enable Mic Monitoring ONLY During Recording or Record-Enable Tracks

Is there any way to monitor the mic inputs only when you're recording? I know that you can disable the output of the mic to the speakers (or enable if you want), but is there any way to automatically do this only when you've record-enabled a track in a program such as Sonar or Adobe Audition? Thanks for the feedback!

which card you got ? and are you asking how to eliminate the feedback? well on my cards (x-fi and audigy 2, and li've 5.) i think you can do it with the bundled recorder that you get when you download the drivers from this site. I think creative recorder is the best one. Also creative mediasource should work (if you dont have Creative Recorder) just select recording source (which is your mic) In my opinion it does just as good of job as AA .5 (which I also own and use alot). I also believe I might have seen that option in AA, but it could be risky as it may interfere or conflict with your device. Only on my x-fi card have i noticed that it autmatically mutes the speakers while recording from mic (during Audio Creation Mode---I select Mic and select Monitor on Recording only) . Only other quick fix to it is simply press the mute key or my personal favorite use some earphones (not headphones cuz youll still get a little feedback at high volumes).Message Edited by djbonus on 06-07-2006 08: PM

Why are all the volume sliders resetting to zero when I enable recording on my tracks?

That's basically all there is to it. I have 8 drum tracks all set at different input levels but when I record-enable the tracks all the volume sliders rest to zero in the mixer. This has never happened before!

I'm having so much trouble with the audio levels in logic pro. It seems every VST has a completely different level when the volume on the vst is set to 100. Miroslav Philharmonik is EXTREMELY quiet..., and when I load drums into ultrabeat, they immediately peak like crazy.
It's one of a the reasons mixers have volume controls.
Seriously - an orchestral instrument is likely to have hundreds of parts all playing at once. If each part was designed to hit close to 0dB, then it would be impossible to do anything as the resultant mix would be massively loud - you'd have to turn everything down all the time.
Drums are probably going to be peaking fairly loud in a mix, as they do contain a lot of the energy.
There is no standard. A mono synth will often have hotter levels than a polysynth part, as the polysynth could be playing 8-32 voices all at once. Also, different patches, and different instruments themselves will be programmed to have different volume levels.
This is all true regardless of DAWs, and is nothing specifically to do with Logic.
All all the instruments, and mixer channels have volume controls, to let you control their volume and place them where they need to be for your needs.

No sound on record enabled track

When I record enable an audio track the sound is ok, but if I push the play button then the sound on the record enabled track is muted. There is still input on the channel. If I try to record the tarck the sound is ok and even if I press the play button and then record enable the track the sound is ok. Any solutions?
I'm on logic pro 9.1.3 and I'm using RME fireface 800

Hi,
You need to push the "I" button on the channel strip.
This is the "INPUT" monitoring button.
If it is yellow, you will hear the live input all the time, including when playing back without recording.
You will however no longer listen to any pre-recorded audio on that track.
Cheers

Recording just audio from a video DVD

I thought I was ordering a CD with the music of a Broadway show. It turns out to have been a DVD of the entire production.
How do I get just the audio from the DVD into iTunes? And while I'm at it, once I get the audio, I'll need to strip the dialogue, and I haven't got any idea how to do that, either!
Hope someone can help!
Jimper

You can use Audio Hijack to record the audio from the Apple DVD player, which can be sent directly to iTunes as an ACC or AIFF file.
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/
Stripping the "dialog" (assuming dialog is spoken commentary during the performance??) will be much more difficult. There are techniques to use a an audio editing program such as Audacity
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
to invert a one side of a stereo track to remove vocals for Karaoke, but the sound quality will be greatly diminished, the bass and even the vocals may be removed.
So if there is "dialog" on all of the songs it may be cheaper to buy the CD.
Hope this helps.

No audio output for CS5 even with Audio Output box checked

Ever since about a year or so, My CS5 has been unable to render any projects with audio outputs, regardless of the audio format. I had checked the Audio Output box in the Output Module setting every time.Still no audio. Now I have to export the project to Premiere to output it. In my current project, my audio is a MP3 music file. Same result. Should I convert the audio into certain formats first?

Just speaking from experience on my own systems, irrespective of software used, I have found that despite being able to play both 44100 khz and 48000 khz my Blackmagic based systems have sometimes had issues with mute audio On one of the settings but fine on the other. If you start with an accepted preset and work from there it might be best.
Are you sure the audio track(s) is turned on in the timeline? I know it is ridiculous but we can all develop silly habits and keep on making the same mistakes over and over when we try to make things work, then add some more mistakes for good measure having forgotten to return settings to their previous state.
Also, I would not assume you are dealing with one error only, sorry. :-)
