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.

Tascam 1884 and Logic Express 7.2.3 - Master Fader Issue

I am currently having a slightly annoying problem between Logic Express and my Tascam 1884. Whenever I move the Master Fader on the Tascam, it changes the output of the currently selected track in Logic rather than Output 1-2 as it should and used to do.
I opened up the package contents of Logic to check the control surface drivers to see if there was a new version available. The one installed in Logic for the 1884 was labled as v1.0. I checked on the Tascam website and there was an Application Specific driver for Logic labled as v1.10. I downloaded this and installed it in place of the v1.0 driver and started Logic up. I was greeted with an error message stating that the Control Surface Driver was outdated. To see the actual error message, go here:

Basically, it is stating that the "newer" version is outdated somehow. Is anyone else having this problem or have any idea what may be going on?

Thank you for the response. However, there are a few things wrong with that idea. First of all, that path that both you and Tascam specify to place the bundle is no longer applicable. The place where all the bundles are now is actually in the package contents of Logic Express, where I specified that I placed it. Secondly, there is something wrong with the driver beyond installing it in that, my control surface will no longer install or work. Therefore I cannot just ignore the error message because if I do, then nothing works at all. Once again I appreciate the suggestion, but that doesn't seem to help in my case.

Please help: Button settings Tascam FireOne with Logic.

I am a new Logic Pro 8 user and have bought a Tascam FireOne interface.
I have a problem, hopefully anyone can help me...
I can't set the Tascam buttons, Logic can't find the Tascam FireOne.
Does anyone know what I should do?
(by buttons I mean the control pad and the rec. and play button etc.).
Thanks!

M buttons are never flashing in blue, but in grey, and if they are flashing in grey, *there is something soloed.* Really. It could be your Prelisten channel strip or the Click channel strip. they are only visible in the Mixer when the All button is active, or you can also see them in the *Mixer layer* in the Environment.
*Grey flashing M buttons mean something is soloed.* Period. The only way you can convince me that nothing is soloed is by presenting a screenshot of the complete (Environment) mixer without any soloed channel strip. Also, I'ld advise you to update to 10.6.4 and NOT 6.5, there seem to be all sorts of trouble with USB in 10.6.5. 6.4 seems much stabler so far.

Microphone in sound out simultaneou

I want to use my microphone for amplification of a li've music source. How do I get sound out of the speakers simultaneous with input from a microphone? I can see that feedback could be a problem, but the microphone has a long lead.

Select What-U-Hear as the recording source in the mixer.

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

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.

Line input problem with Logic X, No issues Logic Pro

I use the line input on my 2011 Imac to record audio from my piano keyboard. When using LOGIC X there is no sound coming through the speakers, but with Logic Pro 9 I have no issues. I tested with new projects, ect but was unable to get to work.
In both Logic Pro and Logic X I have made an audio track and made sure input monitoring is on. I made sure volume was sufficient. I have tried to fix this to no avail and was thinking about bringing to apple store, but this appreasrs to be some sort of logic x bug (or I am missing something). Any help is appreciated as this is very frustrating.
Brian

I think you're missing something.
http://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/10/#lgcpbb81aca5
You have to configure each program top to bottom, go to the above link and make sure all your settings are correct. (the won't necessarily match the pic)
Look at your Logic 9 settings Preferences/Audio and then set up Logic X the same way.

Controller that works well with Logic??

Can anyone tell me if the M-audio icontrol will work with Logic 8? I see that it is designed for Garageband. I would love to have real controls for record,play,stop, etc... If there is a controller out there that works well with Logic, please let me know.
Thanks,

Potential warning on the Edirol keyboards: I bought one of their earlier ones (PCR50, I think), and the keys have mostly gone bad after a couple years, despite being treated very well. There are a lot of people over at Harmony Central reporting the same problem. This new unit may have solved the problem, don't know, but I personally will think more than twice before buying another Edirol keyboard.

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
The solution was as follows for me anyway...
Go to your Finder
Choose the Go Menu
Choose Computer
Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
Choose your "Library" Folder
Choose the "Preferences" Folder
There should be a folder called "Audio"
Move that whole folder to the trash
Empty the Trash
Restart from the Apple Menu
When you are back up and running;
     Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
     Choose Sound
      In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
      Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

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?

After installing an update I am no longer able to hear sound out of my speakers. A red light comes on where the headphone jack is. I have already attempted to trip to switch with a wooden toothpick in the headphone jack but have not had luck.

Have you gone into system prefs nad made sure that the headphone port is set to audio out. And not audio in.
Also make sure that you are selecting built in speakers for your audio output.
If that does not fix it try doing a Pram reset.
Shut your mac down.
Press the startup button.
Hold down the following keys. Command Option P and R. Wait till you hear the chime 2 times. Then let go. See if that fixes it.

- Try insering and removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
- Try cleaning out the headphone jack in the iPod.
- Resett he iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod
If yu still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, likely a bad headphone jack. Yu can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.
If not underwarranty Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place like the following is less expensive. Here is one. Google for more.

Will the Tascam FW-1884 work with Logic Pro X?

Hello,
I notice that the new Logic is 64 bit only and yet the Tascam FW-1884 is specifically listed as a supported control surface.
Tascam has not released 64 bit drivers for this device! Can anyone shed any light on this? Will it work only as a control surface and not an audio interface? Is the documentation in error? Anyone have this working with Logic Pro X?
Thanks,
Lyford Rome

Lyford,
Again, in regards to hardware... it is not about LPX compatibility.. It is about compatibility with the OS X version and it's CoreAudio... Once you 'get' that point then everything else makes sense...
Tascam are notorious about leaving owners of "End of Line" products 'high and dry' when OS X is updated... and as you have found... the 1884 is not compatible with Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and likely will never be so... because Tascam will not be releasing Mountain Lion drivers for it.. so, it is not something you can use with LPX, which requires Mountain Lion 10.8.4 as a minimum requirement.
As an aside, Apple have acknowledged they make an error in simply using the LP9 Hardware compatibility chart for LPX (as LP9 could be used with earlier OS X versions for which there were drivers for the 1884 for example) and have said they will be issuing an updated version "in the near future"......

Anyone using Tascam DM-3200 with Logic

Anyone using the Tascam DM-3200 with Logic? Sure seems like an easy solution combination of converters and DAW control, plus onboard effects.

Hey Joseph,
I have this combination. I like it so far. I'm not really a "mixer" person but I am resolute in learning how to use this thing in depth!
Anyways, as far as controlling Logic, I got it working pretty easily. It seems that the faders don't seem as "sensitive" as my Logic Control (I think I mean resolution, perhaps?). I also have not played with the Tascam enough to know what other features are mapped out besides just level faders. It is very easy to switch between a fader layer and the Mackie control layer: just one button press. One thing though is if I have logic set to auto-sync in, and play, it will receive some timecode from somewhere and then stop after 2 bars. Don't know why this is, and it means I'll have to disable the Tascam's midi if I want to sync Logic to, say, Protools.
I connect my old 828 via Adat to Tascam and it sounds so much better than the Analog ins to the Tascam, so I'm happy about that. I have also the 8 Analog input card so I have a total of 24 Analog Ins which is nice too.
If you have any specific questions, I'll try to asnwer them, but so far, i like the combination a lot. My one complaint - they put the Control Room volume way up at the top of the mixer. My keyboard (Roland XV88) protrudes a bit from the front of the mixer, so i can see myself getting back spasms if I reach that volume control a lot!! I guess I'm shorter than the average user! Anyways, the mixer sounds good enogh to my ears.
Cheers
Ken
PS The manuals for the mixer are at Tascam's website. You can also take a peek at them to get a sense how things are setup.

How I got sound out of my Audigy 2 in Bet

We all know how there's no drivers out yet for Vista Beta 2...so people are suggesting all kinds of things to try to get our SB cards to work... I have Vista Beta 2 Build 5384 installed and I have an Audigy 2 ZS card...and no matter what Audigy drivers I tried...no love. I decided to do a clean install of Vista this time and try something out...AND IT WORKS! Maybe you guys can try this out too and see if it works for you.
Here's the steps I took:
. I downloaded the latest Vista 32-bit drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS from Creative's site...the one that's November '05 and named SBAX_PCDVTBETA_US_2_08_0002.exe
2. I downloaded the latest Realtek AC'97 Vista Beta drivers from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx?series=8&Software=True
3. Install the Sound Blaster driver, you'll have to reboot...once you reboot it should try to install the drivers but will fail...atleast with me, I kept getting a time out error saying its failed.
4. Now I don't have onboard soundon my Dell..just the SB card so I figured let me try Realtek drivers anyway... Install the Realtek driver, reboot, you should be prompted to install your soundcard driver.. I selected to let it show me the available drivers list and my Audigy was in the list...hit install and it installed the Audigy drivers for me! What the Realtek drivers have to do with anything, I don't know...but it worked for me so I'm happy
The only thing is that after testing all the speaker set ups up to 5.....5. didn't 00% work...my rear speakers and sub wouldn't produce a sound while testing while the rest of the speakers did...and then they would get distored...so I have to keep it in STEREO mode int he configuration. Doesn't matter to me since I just put my Logitech Z5500 speakers in "stereo X2" mode so sound comes out all the speakers...and the sub still will pound.
Hopefully this works for you guys who are having problems getting sound out in Beta 2...lemme know how it works!Message Edited by vice86 on 06-30-2006 07:53 PM

. The beta driver is flakey, use the XP driver
2. there is no consistant way to install the driver, upon various OS reinstalls (I have installed at least a dozen times at this point, I am testing a variety of stuff under the covers) I have gotten things to work as easy as slick install upon OS install completion... to haveing to fight tooth and nail in safe mode (on the same machine)
3. The Vista release was not a surprise, the number of major hardware vendors that have their ducks in a row with drivers is greater then those that do not. However, this is beta people, if you expect a finished product use XP... wait XP is a mismash of patchs and updates just like every other MS OS.
4. if you want perfection and things to work right out of the box, get a MAC
