No sound out of Logic 8

Have had Logic Pro 8 for about five years. Suddenly could get no sound out of it. VU meters show there is signal on tracks, and I can record audio, but can't hear anything. Ran extensive diagnostics - all point to the problem being in Logic itself. Downloading the latest Logic 8 update made no difference. Help!

What result do you get when you bounce the project to- and start playback from- the Finder?
Have a nice day!

Routing sound out of logic

I have just purchased a Korg Monotron and am very pleased with it!
I am trying to send sound out from Logic into the Monotron, and then filter the audio in the Monotron and record this back into Logic, however I have a problem.
The audio I want to send out of Logic is routed to outputs '1 & 2' on my Edirol UA-25 interface.
I take a mono output from one of these outputs on the rear of the interface, and feed this into the Monotron headphone socket.
The issue is that when the sound is fed back into Logic, I can't hear the filtering effects because it is drowned out by the audio track I am sending out.
How can I mute the sound of the outputted audio so that I can only hear the subtleties of the filtering effect in Logic.
Can anyone explain a workaround for this, or is there no solution as the audio always need to be audible to in order leave Logic, or else no sound would be sent.
Any advice welcome!
Cheers,
Mr Rock

Hi Dat Stream Studio,
This sounds very promising!
Can you please confirm when in 'Audio Midi Setup', do I go to 'Audio Devices'.
If I select 'Audio Devices' then I have two setting- 'Default Output' and 'System Outputs'.
At present both are set to 'Edirol'.
Can you please suggest which ones I need to configure as 'Mac Internal'.
When this has been set up is all sound outputted through 'Mac internal' audio, and do I connect a lead from the iMac headphone socket into the Monotron?
To get sound back into Logic, should I connect the Monotron into say Input 1 on the Edirol, and then set up an audio track with the 'I/O' plug in set to audio 'Input 1 (and leave the 'output' blank)?
I look forward to your response.
Cheers,
Mr Rock

No sound out of Logic but audio is recognized

I bought an Oxygen 8 and I'm trying to use it with logic. I can see an imput signal when I hit a key but no sound comes out of logic at all.
The Oxygen 8 is running into an audio interface and then into my macbook via usb.
This set-up works fine in Ableton but not in logic.

Make sure you have a software instrument instanced in your track and make sure that track is being routed to the output. Then, check your levels, etc.

NO SOUND! I can't get any sound out of logic express....

Very recently, sound stopped coming out of my Logic Express.
There is a level (on the master) going out, and the master volume of the program is up, but nothing is coming through the speakers!
All other sounds are coming out (itunes etc), just not logic. Has previously been working fine!
I must have clicked something by accident, any suggestions please?!?

The first time I synced with the ipad I did go through "restore" from iTunes. The other options on the screen were "restore from iCloud" and "new ipad".
How do I do a restore now? With the ipad attached? Everytime I connect and disconnect the ipad to the cable, even with reboot, it takes me back to the same grey iPad configuration screen. Do I need to do a hard reset?

Routing audio out of logic

I have just purchased a Korg Monotron and am trying to send sound out from Logic into the Monotron, and then filter the audio in the Monotron and record this back into Logic, however I have a problem.
The audio I want to send out of Logic is routed to the only 2 outputs '1 & 2' on my Edirol UA-25 interface.
I take a mono output from one of these outputs on the rear of the interface, and feed this into the Monotron headphone socket.
The issue is that when the sound is fed back into Logic, I can't hear the filtering effects because it is drowned out by the audio track I am sending out.
How can I mute the sound of the outputted audio so that I can only hear the subtleties of the filtering effect in Logic.
Can anyone explain a workaround for this.
I have tried to set up an aggregate device (can I record audio from my iMac instead?) and use the I/O plug in but with no success- any suggestions welcome!
Cheers,
Mr Rock

Sorry- that was a typo- I take the output from Logic into the aux-in of the Monotron and then feed the output from the headhone out of the Monotron.
The issue is I cannot just hear the subtlety of the filtered Monotron signal back in Logic as the Logic output is playing at the same time.
Any solutions appreciated!

I got to that page but clicking on the Subscribe Free had no effect.
Nothing showed in the Podcasts nor the iTunes U.
In fact I also subscribed to Stanford's lectures and despite actually managing to DL them there is still no subscription in iTunes U, just the Intro to Computer Science belatedly.

I'd like to attach the screen grab of the out of order and randomly DLed selection of Harvard's course, but the forum won't let me attach it even though it is only 456k. Correction, close post and retry and now it lets me. NB how intermittent the DLs are and in no particular order.

How do I get a descent sound level and quality when exporting out of Logic ??

Hi guys,
I know this topic's been discussed many times before but I still can't fix my problem
I'm going crazy right now. It's been weeks I've been working on beats on Logic and I think they now sound pretty cool.
So I'm trying to export them out of Logic on mp3,or wav, or aiff but everytime it comes out very low. So when I'm applying different tips (limiter, adaptative limiter and different things I found on the internet... ) the sound level is a bit higher but still the quality is not as good as it is on Logic
So here's my questions : first, is it possible to get the exact same quality as the one you have when listening into logic ?
then how to get the best quality with a normal sound level so when you listening to the mp3 or wave or aiff on itunes just after a normal song you don't have to turn the sound up
Thank you very much for you help !!
Ben

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track and load an audio file, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustratin

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.

I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues. You are doing a disservice by not contributing positively and by trying to make this forum what you want it to be. You may have all the time in the world to try figuring out stuff but we are not all like you. We all have different schedules and different levels of understanding. And that is what this forum is for - to help people move forward. If you can't contribute positively then keep silent. And by the way, you say to "read the words that are printed down to explain to you how that works" what words are you talking about? Why don't you be of some help instead of trying to own this forum.

No sound out of my Tascam 1884 with Logic 8

Hi there,
I recently picked up a Tascam 1884 to use with Logic 8. I have my 1/4" jacks hooked up to my monitors and the 1/L and 2/R outputs on my 1884. I have the "MON MIX" button pushed and "Both" on as well. I've got nothing. I've read other forum posts stating that the MON MIX button is the fix, but it didn't work for me. Is there something in Logic 8 I am missing? Nothing is coming out of the headphones output either. Of course I get sound out of the computer, just nada from my Tascam / monitors. POO!!! Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sethage

Yes. I turned on the "Direct TDM" under the audio preferences, it all worked after that. Thanks.

Sound Out from Mini Display Port Not Working on a Particular TV

I have a Macbook Pro that I purchased new a few months ago. I use an adaptor to run the display out of the Mini Display port to an HDMI cable on my TV, sound and all. I have also used it while traveling to do the same thing on hotel TVs with HDMI ports.
When I do this, I have to go into System Prefs>Sound and specify the sound output should go to the model of TV that is displayed in the prefs. It always seemed to detect the model of TV when I have it hooked up.
I am staying in a house where I can't get the sound to go out of a Toshiba TV. It shows up in the sound prefs, but I can't ear a thing. The only way I can hear sound is if I tell it to use the internal speakers.
What am I doing wrong when it comes to the Toshiba?
Thanks.

Greetings,
But I wanna know what is the best way going ahead to get this fixed.
Thats up to you. Given the testing you have performed the only additional items I would suggest would be:
Reset the SMC and then test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Reset the PRAM and then test: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
You can make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store, contact AppleCare via phone, or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
Calling AppleCare and having them send you a box for the computer would be the fastest method of repair (usually) as an AppleStore or an Apple Authorized Service provider may not have the parts in stock. You could certainly take the computer in to have them look at it and tell you what the repair time frame would be.
Also, if they decide to replace the part, will I be shelling out any money inspite of the coverage ?
If you would like to read the warranty of the Macbook Pro, Hardware warranty details are found here: http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/
The warranty covers manufacturing issues. As long as the failure is due to a hardware component failure and not outside influence then there is no out of pocket expense.
If the port has failed because a 1 year old shoved a nail in it, rain blew in the window and shorted out the logic board, SUV backed up over the computer and broke the port, then the warranty will not cover it. They will contact you and let you know that the repair is not covered and ask if you want it repaired at your own cost or you can pick up / have the computer sent back to you.
If for some reason you find out the issue is not covered then you could take it up with your insurnace company (renters / home owners etc) or your credit card company if you purchased the computer with a credit card. Some credit cards offer hardware coverage for purchases.
Best of luck.

Can't get sound out of imac

I am a musician and am trying to mix down some tracks off of a hard disk. I have a hard disc recorder and a mixing board that i am running into an M-audio Firewire solo. I have the signal flow going into the firewire solo and then into my mac. when i click on the system preferences and go to sound I have the fire wire solo as the input and the headphone as the output. i see good signal coming into the mac but can't seem to get any sound out of the mac. the headphne out is hte only thing I see as an output which i have selected. please help - I cant hear anything!!

.. It can't be an m-audio issue when i have a great input signal could it?? ..
with my humble experience of 20 years with Macs - no, that is not neccessairly a (computer's) logic conclusion ..
as said, I just have some know-how with iM/camcorders... and we do experience some same 'effects', e.g. 'cause camcorder is import-disabled, as many Euroepan devices are ... or, we experience control over camera via firewire but no picture etc.pp.
different approach:
are you able to use your devcie with other apps, e.g. Logic, Grarageband.
it is an audio-interface, I assume, you're using in mainly for ... ehm, audio.

Sound out

first one speaker stopped working then the other.
external sound out via socket is ok. i gather this
is a logic board issue. anything to resolve the
problem?

Hmmm, given that it's the same under OS9 on a separate partition, seems like a hardware issue. I don't know how likely it is to tell you anything, but I'd run Apple Hardware Test and see if it turns anything up.

How do I get sound out when I plug in a USB mic?

How do I get sound out when I plug in a USB mic? I cannot hear my instrument tracks either. It will record my vocals, but I can't hear them. If I unplug the mic and restore the internal devices, then I can hear all tracks, including the vocals. I'm sure there's a simple solution.

Hi
Prior to Logic 9, you cannot separately choose Input/Output audio devices, so you either have the USB Mic, or the Built-in audio (or an external audio interface).
To set up for 'mixed' devices, you need to use AudiMIDI Setup (Utilities folder) to create an Aggregate Device.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3956
Note that I recall that it was 'sensitive' to which order you create the devices with some USB Mics.

Trouble Sending Audio Out of Logic

Hello,
I'm having trouble sending audio out of Logic through outputs other than to my monitors. I am trying to reamp a guitar sound and send vocals to a reel to reel using a MOTU ultralite. Also, even though the audio tracks are mono, it only allows the output to be through stereo pairs. Thanks!

Ok I figure out how to set my outputs to mono but I tried using one of the monitor outs to send audio out and it won't work, I can't even listen on headphones. When I plug my monitor back in, however, it works fine. What isn't working?

Does this sound like a logic board problem? Blue screen

I have a G4 1.33GHz iBook 14". Recently it has started having problems with freezing and booting. It will boot normally, but a few seconds or minutes into use, if freezes, and only a force shutdown with the power button will work. Then, when it restarts, it may run fine, or may freeze up. Sometimes when it boots, the apple logo shows up, then the spinning wheel, then a light blue screen. And then, nothing.
I have tried all the usual stuff, including starting with the 10.4 DVD and running disk utility. Also Onyx and version 3.03 of Disk Warrior. It wouldn't boot from the Disk Warrior CD usually, and the one time it did, if froze up.
SO, I ended up booting it in Firewire Target Disk mode, and reformatting (zero'd out) using my MacBook. Then, reinstalled the 10.4 and upgraded to 10.4.7 using Software Update. It worked fine for about two hours, and then started freezing and blue screening again.
Does this sound like a logic board thing? It just occurred to me that I haven't tried all this stuff with my additional 1 Gb stick of RAM out. It hasn't caused any problems before, but I suppose it might affect this, no?
Sorry for the long post, but I want to try to diagnose and fix BEFORE it goes off to Apple to be returned with a "we can't demonstrate the problem" message and a bill.
Thanks
Roger

I took out the 1 Gb stick and it did the same thing. About half the time it boots, works for a little while then freezes up. The rest of the time it won't boot past the spinning wheel then the blue screen. Same deal with the OSX DVD and the DiskWarrior CD.
Frustrating. I may have to send it in.
