No sound or strange sounds when trying to record guitar

Hi!
I'm new to Logic Pro, after having worked with garageband for many years. I've just been trying to record guitar through my audio interface, with strange results. I've set my audio in and output source as my M-Audio firewire solo, created an audio track, and selected the guitar sound I want. At first there was no input, then when I deleted the first track and created a new one, I could hear the guitar through the monitor and it was being input, but it had a horrible distorted and out of tune sound - and that was how it sounded when I recorded it too. Then I tried it again and it seemed to be working fine for about 5 minutes - it sounded fine through the headphones and the recording was right - but then went back to the strange sounds again - without me changing anything!
I'm using Logic Pro 9.1.8, on a Macbook Pro running Mac OSX 10.8.3, and have a M-Audio Firewire Solo audio interface.
I'm very frustrated right now - so I'd be grateful for any help!
Thanks,
Stephen

Hi stephenhis,
If you are having issues with imput audio in Logic Pro, the first place to start would be with some basic isolation troubleshooting to see if the issue can be localized. That should provide a good basis for further troublshooting should the issue persist.

Hey ErikSimon, I kept troubleshooting my problem last night and when I loaded my samples an alternate way, actually the longer way, it worked. I think I have gremlins in the system or something, but I got it working again. I was having the issue when I tried loading the samples via these instructions that were mentioned in SFLogicninja's Youtube video @ 3:07
http://www.youtube.com/user/SFLogicNinja#p/u/8/7YjgKLZ2jpY
They are good instructions, but the Logic gods weren't smiling on me last night. Really weird and frustrating at the same time. Thanks anyways.

Runtime Error 217 when trying to Record

I am using Captivate 4 on Windows XP. When I hit the Record button in Cap 4, a microphone icon displays and counts down 3-2-1, then runtime error 217 displays. Cap 4 then crashes.
I am not recording audio for this project. I am recording FMR and in Edit > Preferences > Full Motion Recording I have the Working Folder set to C:\Test.
Not sure why Cap 4 is doing this.
Can anyone make any suggestions to help me?
Thank you.
Laraine

I deleted everything in the folder then restarted Captivate 4, but still
experiencing the same problem when trying to record.

Sounds like you accidently de-selected "Software Monitoring"
and/or
If you don't know what a function does... in this case, "Low Latency Mode" don't enable it. I suggest consulting the manual and read up on Low Latency Mode... it could even be causing the problem you describe depending on what plugins are being used.

Nasty feedback when trying to record using the internal mic

I get nasty feedback when trying to record using the internal mic on my macbook. I'm running Maverick. Why is this happening?

Note: there may be other issues involved, but without further details I can only suggest that using headphones is the best way to accurately hear what you're recording, adjust gain levels, and avoid feedback. So this should be the first thing to try as you troubleshoot.

Garageband making loud double clicking sound when trying to record

Garageband makes a loud double clicking sound when I'm trying to record and then it won't let me play back what I've recorded. Please help. Thank you

Im having this problem too actually. I have to restart my MacBook Pro to make it go away...
Latest version of GarageBand. 10.6.1. All updates done.

Logic recognizes my Edirol UA-20, sound comes through but when I hit record no sound gets recorded! The volume levels are showing sound, why won't it record? ?????u

Why can I hear sound on the track coming through but when I hit record it turns red but doesn't record any sound?

How are you monitoring the sound coming from Logic?
Did you set up the audio preferences for input and output in Logic.. to reflect your setup?

Strange Message When Trying to Sync iOS 4.1

Ever since updating to iOS 4.1 yesterday, I have been receiving the following message when trying to sync my iPhone 4 with my home PC: "The iPhone "Mike's iPhone" Cannot Be Synced; You Do Not have Sufficient Privileges For This Operation". This is my third iPhone and I have never received this message before; also, I am using the same PC (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit)that I have for the past 8 months, and have never before seen this message. I am the sole user and administrator on the PC; the strange thing is, my iPhone appears to be syncing ok. I Googled this and saw several responses related to deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" folder on my PC, which I did, but I still get the same error message. Any thoughts?

In which step the error is occuring.

Strange problem when trying to install programs

Hi,
I have big problems lately when trying to install programms like firefox.
when i download the .dmg file with safari it reports that the file is damaged after completing the download. the strange thing is that it doesn't happen every time. only some programms fail.
The cube which runs OSX had firefox installed but i tried to remove and reinstall it. But unfortunality that didn't work, now i am back to old safari which doesn't support all new webtechniques.

The last version of Mozilla's Firefox browser for Mac OS X 10.3.9:
Direct download Firefox 2.0.0.20, link:
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-2.0.0.20&os=osx&lang=en-US
For iCab, note a 'correct version' on page for Mac OS X 10.3.9:
http://www.icab.de/dl.php
Camino 1.6.10 for Panther 10.3.9:
http://caminobrowser.org/download/releases/1.6.10/ -english
http://caminobrowser.org/download/releases/1.6.10-MultiLang/ -multi-lingual
{There may also be a need for a later Flash and Shockwave player for
the OS X version in the computer, not the newest one, but suitable one.
These require Uninstalling the older version in order to upgrade; the
players and uninstaller are available from Adobe online. This is another
topic and gets into details that have been spelled out elsewhere.}
You can use Camino as a default browser for your OS, in place of
the much older Safari last supported by Panther.
Good luck & happy computing!

Strange error when trying to validate a business rule

I get this strange error when I try to validate a business rule:
Detail:Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1200369): Error optimizing formula for [69972] (line 38): can not cross members from the same dimension
The rule is:
FIX (@RELATIVE("SG&A", 0))
"69972" = (("60001" -> "C1130" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees") + ("69971" -> "C1130" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees")) * "SG&A % of C1130" -> "No Cost Center" -> "PNULL" -> "No Employee" * (("Headcount" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees") - ("C1130"->"Headcount" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees")) / (("Headcount" -> "SG&A" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees") - ( "C1130"->"Headcount" -> "SG&A" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees")) ;
ENDFIX

Error msg states that you have used crossdim operator with the member of same dim. Cross check again.
EX:
"C1130"->"Headcount" -> "SG&A" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees"
Are all of these members belong to different dimesions?

Severe static when trying to record electric guitar

I've been trying to record a clean electric guitar and every recording is just covered in heavy hissing static sound. This didn't happen when I recorded an acoustic guitar through a microphone. I have an electric guitar going into a small amp, with the amp level set on the clean channel at a very low setting, then the headphone/output is running directly into my M-Audio FastTrack USB interface, which is connected to the computer. I have adjusted the "recording level" in garage band so that the signal never gets close to the red in the individual instrument track. The "output" knob on the FastTrack is set relatively low also, about "4" out of 10. When I play back the recorded track, the master level meter never goes into the red either. Yet no matter what volume I record at I'm getting this strong crackling/hissing as if it was extremely overdriven.
Related question: When I play on the electric guitar, is it supposed to show an indication in the LCD box, as it does when I'm playing on my midi controller? It doesn't have the little indicator light showing signal, nor does the master level indicator, when I'm recording. Only the individual track level indicator shows the signal coming in. Maybe this is normal...
Any help is greatly appreciated.

OK, well I solved my own problem through trial and error. Rant: I switched to GB from ProTools on the theory that GB was supposed to "just work" and I want to be a musician, not an audio engineer. Here is how I fixed the static: one of my garage band books told me I could set the Garage Band audio preferences to "System" default, and then set my computer's audio preferences to my audio interface for the ins and outs, because I wanted to play all of computer's audio, whether in garageband or not, through my reference studio monitors. Well doing it this way results in massive static when recording a real instrument, for no apparent reason. So to fix this, you have to set Garageband's own audio in/out settings to your audio interface, NOT to the system settings. This caused the static in my recordings to completely disappear. Go figure.

?????? In the Transport Bar When Trying To Record.

Anyone know why question marks would show up when you push record? I'm there. I'm trying to bounce down my mix within Logic. I don't think think that the routing has anything to do with it but I'm sending my mix out stereo to analog channels and coming back in analog after by outboard gear. The problem is limited to this session, I've cracked open other logic sessions and they work fine.
