No Audio signal in Mainstage using M Audio Fastrack

I'm not getting any signal in Mainstage from my M Audio Fastrack interface. It works fine with Logic Pro.
Main stage recognises Fastrack and works fine with My Axiom 49 in keyboard mode but no joy when trying to use guitar?
Anyone come across this problem?

After sleep, audio turned on when using USB-Audio!

It seems that after the EFI update, the external USB Audio device is also on after standby and not muted as before!
I have a C-Media USB Headphone set (this means external speakers over an USB), normally muted.
After sleep it is unmuted and at full volume. (When i let it with low volume, after standby it is also at full, but the bars are displaying it as low).
Anyone same experience?

UPDATE:
I decided to try going through an Firewire Audio Interface instead. Keyboard-(MIDI)->MOTU Traveler-(Firewire)->MacBook Pro.
Same corruption/hiccups/choppy playback.

IPhone audio too soft when using car audio jack...

iPod touch audio is soft when I hook it up to my car audio jack. I have to turn up the car volume almost to max! I have checked the volume level settings on the iPod...no change?

You should post your question over in the iPod Touch forum (this is iPhone).

As there is no sound only picture when connecting my ipad, do I need to also use the audio cable from Apple TV to an older Philips TV?

I have just bought a black Apple TV and it works fine when connecting my iPad to a modern TV. However on an older Philips TV, there is no sound coming through. Do I need to use an audio cable from the optical digital audio port in addition to the HDMI cable? The TV's HDMI does not appear to support sound.

Thanks. However no luck with this TV so far. I've purchased a converter to give a digital audio signal from the optical digital audio output port. The TV has an input audio digital port, but I've had no success in getting sound so far.
Is there any setting in the Apple TV menu that may affect the signal. I've tried the setting for 16 bit signal, without any success.
Perhaps this Philips TV may just not be compatible with the new black Apple TV. I have talked at some length with Philips support desk, but they've offered nothing new.

Using video and audio signal from a camera connect...

Why is it not possible and is skype intending to implement the ability to use the video signal form a digital camcorder connected to a tv?
A lot of people these days have digital camcorders or digital cameras that produce video signal. Why can't those be supported as video input by skype?

Hi,
The following ports are at the back of your computer:
Figure 4: Back I/O panel
1 - USB 2.0: 4
2 - LAN
3 - DVI-D
4 - D-SUB port (VGA port)
5 - Audio: Line in
6 - Audio: Line out
7 - Audio: Microphone
You already mentioned DVI-HDMI : it works but no sound. That's true because DVI does not carry audio signals. All you need is using RCA cable to connect port #6 to your TV.
Regards.

I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?

I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?
The firewire port reads the dj software and I can hear music playing through the sound card when I plug my headphones into it but there is no signal to the hardware (my dj mixer).
I have reset the firewire by turning off my mac book pro for a few hours and can see the sound card device in the fire wire section after clicking on the apple icon on the top left corner of my mac.
My dj mixer works on another mac computer with the same soundcard and different firewire cable.
Hope someone can help
Thanks
Wayne

kmiddlet88,
yes, it could be due to nearly anything listed in your kernel extensions, startup items, launch daemons, launch agents, or user items above. Please check all of your installed third-party software to make sure that the versions which are installed on your MacBook Pro are compatible with Mavericks; uninstall every software package which isn’t Mavericks-compatible. After you’ve done that, boot into Safe mode, and see if you still get the beach ball of doom there. If it doesn’t appear there, restart normally and see if it appears then.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

Transmit audio signal using Bluetooth

Hi LV folks.
I am trying to find a way to connect to a Bluetooth module and then send a audio signal, which comes from an external device, to this module.
After searching I found this instrument:
http://www.anritsu.com/en-gb/products-solutions/products/mt8855a.aspx
According to the documentation it has the ability to connect to a Bluetooth device and then transmit an audio signal from an external source to the Bluetooth device.
But it is pretty expensive and I don't need all of it's functions, so I was wondering if anyone has an idea for a cheaper alternative?
Is it possible to receive the signal on a PC-soundcard and then via LV transmit the audio through a Bluetooth connection?
Thanks for listening
Stephan

Well, LV does have the low-level functions for interacting with a Bluetooth interface. The question is how complex the protoicol would be to make it able to communicate with a speaker or headset.
For what it's worth, I have used a cheapo BT interface to talk to a Wii mote from LV.

How can I play an audio signal using DAQ or other way?

I'm designing a Voltage control amplifier. as shown in the attachment, I have a speaker connected to the power amplifier but all i have is noise. I like to know how can I put an simple audio to my circuit. My audio input is generated by the function generator. I only have a simple labview program which control my voltage input as attached.

No problem, your questions are not stupid. I just want to be sure you're digging into the examples and learning from them (they're a great resource).
The sound card outputs should be good enough to drive your circuit. Most cheap cards or built-in audio chips have a jack for line out and headphones (which is just the line signal through a buffer amp so you have volume control). Either on should work for your purpose. The line out should give you a volt or more at reasonable current levels. There also MIGHT be a low frequency filter on the output meaning that you won't be able to output DC levels or very slow (<20Hz) AC.
The jacks themselves usually have the signals (Left and Right) on the center conductors and the return is the barrel but you might want to look up your card's specs or probe the outputs before you connect anything to your circuit.

What kind of audio interface do I need for audio out from MainStage 3?

I have a Yamaha MO8 that I use for playing in the worship band at my church. In the past, I've just directly routed audio from the MO8 through a direct box and into the sound system.
I'm looking to switch my setup and use the Yamaha MO8 as a midi controller in MainStage 3. I have this part working — the problem is getting the audio from my MacBook Pro.
The audio output sounds fine through the MacBook Pro speakers or through headphones plugged into the audio out / headphone jack; however, if I plug the direct box into the MacBook Pro's audio out / headphone jack, the signal the sound system gets is very pretty weak and very distorted.
I'm assuming I need an audio interface between my MacBook Pro and the direct box / sound system. Since it's a 2010 MacBook Pro, I'm assuming my only output option is USB (unless the digital audio out can be used). If that's correct, would something like the Scarlet 2i2 work for me?
Thanks…

Yes, you'll need some sort of audio interface to get a good signal back to your mixer.
The Scarlet 2i2 would work for you but you may find a few limitations. I use a MOTU Audio Express and it has the advantage of being a mixer as well, so I can mix in a backup signal from the onboard audio outs of my controller (Kurzweil PC3x) in case MainStage goes down (it happens on rare occasion). Firewire is my preference so the MOTU checks that box. I also like that I can connect my MIDI cables to the MOTU and have one cable going into the computer.
If you need this sort of compact redundancy, I would shoot a little higher than the Scarlet. If you don't feel the need for a backup line and USB works for you, then the Scarlet unit would be an excellent value.

How to correct "An incompatible audio signal" with Apple TV and HD signal

I have an Apple tv2(mc572Ll/a) running version 4.4.4 of the software, connecting to an older Sharp Aquos LCD-26d6u TVvia a regular HDMI cable.
I used to be able to watch a rented movie until my onsitel technician/ teenager adjusted something.
Now when the preview plays the sound works. When a video is displayed using AirPlay from the iPhone the sound works.
But when the HD movie plays the message "an incompatible audio signal has been received. Check the output device settings" and there is no sound.
When I connect this to a newer HDTV the movie sound works.
Any suggestions on what Apple tv or tv settings to use to get the sound back (other than upgrading my technician/teenager/tv)?

Thanks! I changed the Dolby setting from On to Auto, and the sound started working for Netflix TV shows. Before I was getting the message:
     Incompatible audio format received check output device settings
and there was no sound.
The Settings are accessed through Apple TV.   When you have Apple TV on, and you see all the colored rectangles for Netflix, huluplus, HBO etc., (which can be accessed by repeatedly hitting the Menu button on the remote), the top row shows:
   Movies   TV Shows Music Computers Settings
Use the 4 way controller to choose Settings, then press the button in the center of the 4 way controller to select Settings. Then select Audio Video. Then scroll down to Dolby Digital. When you are on Dolby Digital and you push the button in the center of the 4 way controller, the setting will change. I changed the Dolby Digital setting to Auto.

Audio stereo signal split into 3 or 4 stereo audio signals (in one single clip)?

Hi,
facing massice transcoding issues when exporting a project I had to analyse the involved video/audioclips...
and found out that for some of the video clips the audio signals have been split into even 3 or 4 complementary stereo channels.
Note: Each channel contains just a part of the original signal. This is obviously due to cutting action ...
What can I do? I have no clue!
My question:
How to get one single stereo audio signal (2 channels) out of this mess?
Thanx big time,
Oliver

Assuming we're talking about shorter takes and not a longer, spanned clip, I don't think what you want can be done in PP. Nesting will always bring the audio over as one track.
You may have to skim the clip sequence in the Program Monitor and copy/paste the portions you want to use into a second sequence for output. This will preserve the audio.

I have a carillon 25 keyboard (bad choice, I know) and I can't get it to communicate with my mac at all! I'm running logic pro 9 and reason 5. I get signal in from my M Audio trigger finger so I know it isnt an entirely mac based problem. Thanks!!!

Well, how have to determined no signal is being recieved to your mac?
Have you got something that shows the actual signal? Or have you just been trying to control a VST? What software are you using by the way?
I personnally went with a AKAI MPK25, because it's made already mapped for logic & ableton etc, so it just makes things incredibly easy.
I would suggest you return it if you can as a dead unit & perhaps look at something else a bit easier?
Otherwise, if you just want to get this working we can have a look a bit deeper.

Recording using an audio interface or audio cable?

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie with Garageband and home recording in general and I just wanted some advice about the best way to record songs I have written on my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer onto Garageband 09.
So far I have been using a basic audio cable which is connected to my apple Imac from my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer to copy the songs I have written on my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer to Garageband and it sounds ok but I just wondered whether I should buy an audio interface and connect that to my Korg Triton Extreme synthersizer and my apple imac and Garageband and whether this would give me a significantly better quality recording of each song?
All advice is welcome.
Many thanks.

You can record audio with a cheap cable for a few bucks or use an Audio Interface worth a couple of thousand bucks.
Do you get a better quality for you money ... definately yes.
Do you hear the difference ... it depends
At the end, it comes down to your needs.
In your case, you use a synthesizer that outputs line level. If you setup your level correctly (sending and receiving), then you might be ok and maybe not hear a difference with an expesive device. Even if you would hear a better sound in an A/B comparison, at the end it comes down to the following question: If you could hear only one solution (cheap or expensive) and you can't hear if it was recorded with the cheap or the expensive equipment then it doesn't matter.
At the end, your money might be better spent on better speakers (that let you judge what you hear) or thrid party plugins that give you more production value.
Recording a guitar signal or microphone - that is a completely different story.
Hope that helps

Weak Audio Signal in Capture

Anyone see this?
I am recording sound from an external mixer connected to the line in port on the Mac. I get a good strong signal when I go to system preferences, sound dialog box, and set input level. But in FCP I see a much weaker signal in the Log and Capture dialog box.
I also get a weak input signal in Soundtrack Pro.
I have my mixer faders all the way up, gain up. all switches set for non controllable device, audio only.
I am using a Mackie Onyx mixer, and one option is to purchase the firwire IO card and get audio that way, but I am thinking that this will take up bandwidth on the firewire port and cause dropped frames.
Anyone have any thoughts?
G5 sp 1.8 Ghz (2003) Mac OS X (10.4.9)

The outputs on the Mackie are PREFADER. Raising the faders does not increase the levels for output via the 16 channel out, or with firewire. You need to raise the gain on the preamps if you want a stronger level.
Why would you drop frames in the event of using firewire - are you capturing in real time, or do you shoot the video, and then ingest the video into the Mac?
I use a Mackie to record concerts, the recording goes out multichannel to the Mac via Firewire, the video cameras record the DV, and after, I mix the audio, ingest the video, import the mixed audio into FCP and sync the audio with the video. ( Matching an event in the video audio, which I do not use, with the mixed audio from the mackie )
