Static when recording through usb

I've been using line 6 gearbox to record a line 6 pod xt live directly into the usb port of my macbook. however, while recording in garageband '08 i will get this short period of static that lasts for about a few seconds and seems to come and go every minute or two. I've tried using a different usb cable and trying the two different ports as well. I'm think my pod xt live is ok, so i'm not sure if the problem is a hardware issue with my macbook's usb ports, or if it's a software issue with garageband. Has anyone encountered anything like this? Any help woul dbe appreciated. thanks!

I have the same microphone and am experiencing the same problem, though the frequency varies. Sometimes I can record for more than an hour with no static, and at other times, within minutes of rebooting the driver. I am still running Tiger. I've taken to unplugging my microphone when not in use. That seems to cut down on the frequency a bit.

You may have to force your iPad into recovery mode in order to restore the device since the update did not complete. This article explains how to do that.

[Problem] Line in port giving intervalled static when recording

Hi,
My MacBook late '08, has started having recording issues when recording any instrument through the line in port. I have tried using different recording software and cables however, even when anything makes contact with the inside of the port, the static starts. If you turn up the recording level, the static 'blips' get faster and louder.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.

It "sounds" like you might need a preamp for the mic to bring up the input levels to line-in requirements.

Error message -1073807298 when connecting through USB

Hi,
I am trying to retrive data from an instrument through serial port as well as USB,
My vi works smoothly while connecting through serial port.
But when i try to connect through USB Error code-1073807298
is coming. This error comes when visa try to write to the instrument.
From visa configure serial port.vi no error is coming.
Can someone suggest a method to solve this problem...

I get exactly the same error code with a TCP raw socket connection, the weirdest thing is that I actually can read the result of the query. I fixed the problem reading one byte at a time but this is very inefficient (it uses a while loop) and I still get warnings, so I'd like to know if there is a way to fix this or if there is an equivalent of the "Serial Settings: Number of Bytes at Serial Port" for VISA TCP connections....
This is the WARNING that I get when I read one byte at a time:
Warning 1073676294 occurred at VISA Read in LV.vi
Possible reason(s):
VISA: (Hex 0x3FFF0006) The number of bytes transferred is equal to the requested input count. More data might be available.
This is the ERROR that I get when I set the byte count to 1024:
Error -1073807298 occurred at VISA Read in LV.vi
Possible reason(s):
VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF003E) Could not perform operation because of I/O error.
I enclosed the VI for your review,
Thanx in advance for your help,

Static when recording with microphone

Posting from my new iPad 2. Has anyone else had issues with the microphone? Whenever I record from any app there is tons of static when playing it back.

So I am one more joining the group . after "thinking" about it , reading some stuff from the internet and doing some tries , these are what i have figured out .
Please note that these are not solutions , they are thoughts and might be 100 % wrong.
1) The The front-facing camera assembly includes the camera, headphone jack, and microphone and passes just exactly underneath the magnets from the smart cover. (please if possible each one with the issue verify that you own a smart cover) .. after reading not sure if I was reading @ the correct sites , i have found out - understood that the wires from microphones are protected with a magnetic shield.
So , i think , I had faulty magnetic shield at those cables and with the smart cover the issue came up - p.s. my microphone worked fine for some days .
2) I did some restores .. at my first restore -set up as new - i opened the camera app to video record and test the mic by talking , I did not hear my voice , but I was not hearing the static noise either. 2nd restore I think the sound is worse than the first time i spotted the issue . 3rd restore is being done at the moment so if there is something new I will post again. - So could it be firmware wise ? If yes, how come it worked for some days ?

No Audio when recording through M-Audio Fast Track Ultra USB interface

Hi,
I am trying to record my drums using Logic Pro and by obtaining the audio through 4 microphones connected to an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra. Even though the interface is on, installed, registered, and configured in Logic's audio preferences, there is no sound whatsoever. The recording shows that it definitely picked up audio and that the sound levels were moving, but there is no playback. Any advice??
Thanks.

Are you using Logic 8 or 9?
What are you trying to hear Logic's output through?
If you're expecting audio output through built-in audio, and you're using Logic 9, make sure your Fast Track is set as the input device, and built-in audio is set for the output device (both in Logic's audio preferences)
However, if you're using Logic 8 or 7, you need to create an aggregate device if you're using built-in output.
Details here:

OR
use the FastTrack's audio outputs to drive your monitoring, NOT your built-in audio.

Only static when recording using the Edirol UA-20 AudioCaptu

I am using QuickTime 7.0.2 and Mac OS X 10.4.2. I can successfully record sound using the Edirol UA-20 USB Audio/Midi Interface with an attached Sony Digital Microphone when I am in GarageBand. I have installed the latest driver for the Edirol UA-20 for Tiger, by the way.
However, after purchasing QuickTime Pro, I tried to record in QuickTime Pro using the Edirol UA-20. The strange thing is that the green sound level bar reacts to the sound levels going into my microphone. But when I press the big red record button in QuickTime, record some sound, and then listen to it, all that I hear is static.
Anyone have success using the Edirol UA-20 and QuickTime? Any ideas? Anyone?

software that is compatable with OS 10
you can find a link to edirol's drivers here:

Flash drive only mounts when connected through USB hub

I have a PNY 32gb USB 2.0 flash drive, when trying to connect the drive directly to my Mid 2012 MBP (specs attached) the drive never mounts, doesn't list in diskutil as an unmounted drive either, however when I plug the drive into a Micro Innovations USB Hub (old ~ 2002) the drive mounts (albeit slowly).
On my iMac (Mid 2010 I7) the drive works perfectly in the machine or through Apple USB Keyboard.
Any help?

Is that the only USB drive that doesn't work with your MBP ?
Everything else works fine?

Nano 6 resets to first song when ran through usb port in car.

When running my ipod nano 6 through the usb port in my truck,ipod will reset to first song . Thanks

Thanks for the suggest Jeff. I will try that next time I have to recharge. I do not want to try it now as I am at song 500 of 1000 and do not feel like clicking the next song button 500 times to get to where I was.
What I find funny ... Mac users were making fun of PC users with Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Now Apple have made a IPod that has hold-on-hold-off-menu-select reset code. This is the first MP3 player that I need to worry about resetting. From the other posts ... I see the need to reset the IPod as standard first step. Does not bode well (in my books) for apple software quality.
Cheers

Music sounds static when played through headphones or speakers

i have had my ipod for a while now and it worked fine. However whenever i play through headphones or speakers the music goes to what sounds like static, i would like to know how to fix this problem and if i cant how much will it cost to have apple fix it for me.

Update - I've isolated this (I think) to be something that happens when Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 is open. Exiting the app stops the noise.
But still con't find out why it happens or any setting to stop it.
cheers

Ipod only charges for a few seconds when connected through USB

Hello. Thank you for reading. I recently got a replacement ipod. No problem with putting songs back on the new one. However, whenever i plug my ipod into the usb cord on my work computer to charge my ipod, the do not disconnect will come on and the ipod will charge for about 20 seconds and then stop charging and go back to the main menu on my ipod. The only way i can get it to continue to charge is to click on update my ipod on itunes, and that ain't fun. Help smarter ipod users, you are my only hope!

Try to connect your iPod without the USB Hub
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes

F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.

G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop

Noise when recording through new sm58 mic

Hi there
Just got an Sm58 to replace my crappy old mic. I have it plugged into a behringer ub502, which is in turn plugged into imic, and then into my Titanium PB G4 for recording using GB 3. The sound is great but there is noise, every time I record. It's like a crack or pop that comes sometimes every couple of seconds and sometimes every ten seconds or so. It's impossible to enjoy listening to anything with this noise, and I am having no luck getting rid of it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance
dajama

Sorry, Dajama, I read a lot of threads here. I had seen your post mentioning the thing that shall not be mentioned and associated it with a different thread. An interface of some sort is obviously required, and the iMic, unless it's defective, should work fine with your set up (I used one myself a while back)
There were some lengthy discussions about USB interfaces and clicks and pops in the GB2 forum last year, but a common denominator was never found. I experienced it only once myself, and did not have a USB interface hooked up (only a USB keyboard, which could have been a common denominator, except I never saw the problem again after that single incident)
Sorry I don't have a useful suggestion B-(>

Windows Explorer error when downloading through USB cable

Moved for greater exposure

Sounds like you may be accessing the virtual drive instead of the sd card, when you plug device into computer the device will create two drives, a cd rom and a storage device... The CD ROM is a virtual drive that stores the drivers and MotoConnet app that auto runs when device is plugged in and the other drive id the actual sd card. Make sure you are accessing the last drive letter on the list because this is the sd card.
Also it is wise to copy the files and not remove the folder because the phone uses this as a default folder and can cause issues some time.
Also you do realize you posted in the wrong thread,, this is a Droid X area not a Droid 2, know they are simular but the best way to make sure you get the correct answer you should ask the individuals that are using the same device.... Thought I would let you know.

Picking up radio freqency and static when recording

Every time I go to record a live instrument I pick up a radio frequency. Might be a grounding problem, might be where I live, etc. Does anyone have any solutions that I could try to get rid of this?

What kind of live instrument?
I'm guessing here, but it sounds like a guitar with single-coil pickups. Sometimes simply changing position in the room can improve things. In my band's rehearsal space (playing a Strat with single-coil pickups), it makes a huge difference just rotating my body a few degrees.
Anyway, this is just a guess.
