No sound using the akai mpk mini

I just bought the MPK mini and I'm getting no sound when I press the keys. Logic recgonizes the keys are being pressed but no sound is coming out of my computer speakers... Does anyone know how this could be fixed?

Have you loaded a *Software Instrument* on your track?
If you have, have you set the right Output for it?
If you have, have you set up your Audio Interface correctly in *Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>Devices>Coreaudio* ?

Any tips on setting up and using akai mpk mini in logic 9?

any tips on setting up and using akai mpk mini in logic 9?
Im stuck!!

To really find out in what frequency range the harshness you're describing lives you should enhance it first making it even more harsh and then reduce it with steep EQ bands. Just dialing in some EQ at 3 k because "they say" that's where the harshness lives will not yield satisfying results. I also found that using dynamic EQs which only react above/below a certain level work wonders sometimes compared to static EQs. The harshness might only occur on loud parts but not on soft parts so why dial out the entire frequency range for good making everything sound dead. Sonalksis has some great dynamic tools for this and I use those in almost every project.

Why?   I've seen demonstrations on how to use the feature but mine doesn't work. I checked the updates and I have the current version.
Thanks.      LM

I am running CC 2014.2.1 and I've updated to Yosemite. Not seeing tree or frame as an option in the menu. Coworker still on Mavericks has it.

Can't record sound using the jack in/out on macbook pro 13 os x

hi
i bought a new macbook pro 13' intel core i5 4gb with the latest os x version 10.8.2. mainly for sound and video editing
yesterday i tried to record sound using garage band and through the mini jack port. once i connected an mp3 player to the mini jack port, the sound prefrences window recognized it as headphones and not as input jack as it did on my friend's same mac with leopard os on it.
it seems like no matter what i try to do (changing instument set up on garage band, restarting the computer with the jack in or out etc...) nothing worked
i bought this mac just so i wouldn't have to deal with these kind of problems....suppose to be a very user friendly os and hardwear.
very dissapointing. please if any one has a clue what can be done?

i'm aware of my other audio interface options, but i would expact this machine to have the basic options every 20 year old pc has, a simple plug and play difault to get audio into my computer. i bought it at b and h in NY and in their specs it says that it's a 'combo kack' - meaning both in and out analog audio ports. after cheaking mac's site it says only headphones.
also tryied to connect a digidesign mini mbox2, through the usb port, and i had to unplug it, shut down the mbp, restart it again etc.. and it also doesn't always work propely and makes all kinds of digital error sounds.
although in this case i can't that the mbox is not damaged.
over all it's very dissapointing. it's my first mac and i figured it would be a much more idiot proof, user freindly work tool.
if you got any other tips i'd appreciate that
thanx alot for the focusrite link

How can I set up a second monitor using the DVI, a mini Displayport to dvi?

Hey guys,
In my office I'm trying to set up a mac with two displays, Samsung screensync sa450s, using a Startech MDP2DVIW mini displayport to dvi, and the DVI port found on the ATI Radeon HD 5770.
However, whichever monitor is plugged in through the mini displayport never shows video, and instead will just flicker sometimes, no matter which monitor I use, or which of the mini displayports i use. The system profiler recognizes both monitors, and has all of the specs on both monitors, but only the monitor connected directly to the DVI displays anything, even if it is the secondary monitor.
The StarTech does still work with the macpro that used to be in this spot, and the only salient distinction I can find is that the old computer has Mountain Lion, while the new one is still running Snow Leopard. Is this a case where we should just update the OS? or is there another fix?
I've also read online that many people have been not fully plugging in these mini displayports, so I'm worried that I'm doing that, but then I'd figure it wouldn't have worked when I plugged it into the old computer unless my predecessor had made some hardware adjustments.
Let me know.

A frequent solution to problems like the one you describe involves pushing in the Mini DisplayPort cable-end.
It should be inserted until essentially ALL of the metal end disappears inside the jack on the 5770 board.
Is this display wider than 1920 wide?
EDIT: The Startech MDP2DVIW adapter you cited is a passive adapter suitable for 1920 wide or less. You should be using ACTIVE adapters, about US$35. They cost a little more, but are much more trouble-free. The ACTIVE designation means they contain booster circuitry to raise the Voltage levels up to true DVI levels. The default converter produces good timing, but the signals are really low.

How to use the phone's Mini-Keyboard Input with the 'Textbox'(MIDP2.0)?

(My apology. My English is not perfect but I'll try my best. >_<)
Hi. I'm trying to create a textbox(in my own little application) that is compatible with the mini-keyboard input feature.
This problem involved any device that have a built-in "mini-keyboard".
Problem:
I tried the 'Textbox' class from MIDP2.0 but the result, as expected, is like using the phones with no built-in keyboard.
(Forexample if I want to input the character 'C' inthe text box, I need to press number '2' button three times to let it circle through 'A' -> 'B' then 'C'. )
Then I tried entering URLs in the phone's built-in web browser, the result is I can use the mini keyboard to type like a PC keyboard.
Question: How do I implement such textbox that is fully compatible with the built-in mini Keyboard?
I tried browsing through the MIDP2.0 API but it seems the 'Textbox' class there couldn't do it.
Thank you. =)

The textbox should have input just as any other normal phone input. If not, something strange is going on.
Anyway , there is no use to make your own input method, since every phone has another implementation of this anyway. It would only confuse users.

How do I record my voice and other sounds using the microphone in my HP TouchSmart 15?

I just recently got an HP TouchSmart 15 notebook PC and know very little about how to use it. I'd like to use the onboard microphone to record my voice and other sounds, ending up with sound files that I can save and use in creating multi-media presentations. Thanks for helping me learn how to do that!

Hi,
You can use Windows "Sound Recorder'
Start Sound Recocrder
Speak, Sing or may noises
And stop when finish
Save file
To start Sound Recorder
Windows 7: Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Sound Recorder
Windows 8 & 8.1: Hold down Win key then press Q > Type Sound R in Search box

Warbled sound using the built in mic on a Macbook Pro

Hello all,
I just got Logic 8 and I'm still in the testing/experiment stages. Right now I'm simply recording my voice, through the *built in mic*, on my Macbook Pro. I'm recording at 192k, 24 bit to test out the sample rate differences and quality of sound. In my audio settings, on my macbook pro, I noticed that it only goes up to 96k. I'm getting audio overload messages, in Logic, and it sounds to me there is a slight "warbled" sound in the recording. Very much like the way a cheap mp3 sounds, underwatery/warbled/cheap. It's subtle but I can detect it.
Is this because the I'm using the internal mic?
Do I need to match my audio settings, on my computer, to Logic's sample rate settings?
Is that why I'm getting audio overload warnings and the distortion?
Any input will help.
Thanx in advance
TTW

The built in mic in your MBP probably costs a dime. It's completely useless for recording except maybe as a quick sketchpad for remembering a melody. They put it in for Skype/iChat purposes, not for professional recording. A more or less decent microphone is at least $100, plus you'll need a proper interface with a mike preamp to connect it to your Mac. Even then, the chances that you'll hear a discernable difference between 44.1 kHz/96/192 are slight.
Best,

Help - Crackled sound using the speakers for the first time after wake up?!

I've a new white MacBook since Monday.
The problem is:
After turning on oder waking up the notebook, I want to play a sound or music. The first time the speakers are used, the sound is very weak and crackled, but after two seconds or so it's ok again.
The same happens if the first sound is the emptying-sound of the trash or every other sound.
This happens every time I start the computer.
Has anyone the same problem?
Thank you in advance!
Greetings form Switzerland

Many people have experienced this, usually when using auxiliary speakers. It happens with my desktop on booting. It's very normal.

Choppy Sound using the X-fi Platin

hey guys, just have a problem.
has anyone else using the X-Fi Platinum Card under Vista Experiance choppy sound and/or drop out's depending on what your doing I'm using driver version 2.8.0004 and im experiancing very very weird sound distortions and what not during game play when i play World of warcraft in a window. it's really strange behaviour so ill try and explain it best i can.
Normally, when i play WoW I play it at in a Window. and alot of time's i want to listen to music while i play the game. when i have the sound enabled while playing the game and try and load up itunes the music will work fine. but when i disable the sound in game and contenue to listen to music the sound gets all choppy and distorted, and on rare occasions it'll drop out. but if i have the sound disabled in game and try and play a mp3 it doesnt work at all and just sits there at 0:00
Its the same thing when i want to watch TV and play WoW at the same time.
When i have the sound enabled, the Audio playback in my TV Tuner Card/Software work's perfectly fine (aside from the occasional strange static popping sounds in and out sounds) its when i disable In Game sound in WoW is where i'd start having problems.
its not just with WoW either, when im watching TV and start web browsing, and try and load up something on youtube, usualy ill hear a loud static POP sound before the audio drops.
and if i try and load up itunes too watch a video, same thing, static sound. then audio drop out.
I'd blame vista if i wasnt having similar problems on XP before i upgraded.at the most, these problems just negate my ability too multi task like i'd like too on multipule screens. but atleast when i was on XP i was only geting the occassional audio drop out, and was able to multi task like i wanted too. but can anyone explain what's going on..
Thanks in advanced, my system specs are in my signature.

Yes, most people are having these same issues.

Music sound using the speaker

Hello: My sound when playing music using the speaker on the Iphone is terrible. It's always been that way since I bought it. Is this the way it is using the speakerphone?
thanks

You have several options.
1) Any system will work if you just plug into the 3.5mm headphone jack
2) As of this moment, there is only 1 iPhone certified speaker system out. It will work with the nano as well:

3) Most of the old iPod systems will work. I use my old Bose SoundDock and it works fine.

Does anyone use the Veho MUVI mini camcorder? If so how do you download your video from it. I plugged it into the USB port and my Mac doesn't show a removable disc on my desktop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am new to Mac and am not sure how to get my camcorder to be recognized by ny Mac.

Welcome to the forums.
To get the best array of responses, you should post your question as a new inquiry. Perhaps save yourself the time, however, and do a search on "MPEG Streamclip" in this forum and you'll see a variety of suggestions. Also, here are a couple websites:

How do i get Stereo Sound using the KONA LHE?

Ok I have a sony HDV HVR-M15 deck, connected to the KONA for video and the audio connected to a mixing desk.
The KONA is also connected to the mixing desk via analog audio XLR to Jack.
At the moment everything i capture is mono one channel sound, and can only play through one speaker. Is there a way to capture in stereo??
At the moment I am getting the KONAs 8 channels of audio, 2 of which are identical and 6 of which are empy!!

check the pan pot on the desk (the yellow pot just above the solo/mute buttons and fader)
on the left channel input from the deck turn the pot anti-clockwise all the way to the left
on the right channel input from the deck turn the pot clockwise all the way to the right
regarding (unwanted?) the multichannel input, launch FCP and open the Log and Capture window
click the clip settings tab in the right hand pane
how many input channels do you have selected in the Audio section
below that popup you can define whether those channels are captured as stereo or mono pairs by toggling the link icon at left of each audio pair level indicators
