Trouble with audio midi set up new aggregate device

hello im alex, im using apogee duet with logic and live, sorry for the mistakes , i am italian.
a guy from ableton suggest me to create a new aggregate device made by apogee out and built in out put together in order to have a pre in the headphones
THE PROBLEM : after create a new aggregate device , when i check the boxes to select inputs and outputs, the boxes stay empty, unchecked.
(sometime i see flash of the window opening but after a millisecond desapperead)
somebody can tell me something good to resolve ? thank u
alex

I'm having this same problem. Makes no difference which devices are selected, it isn't possible to create a new aggregate device with any devices at all, internal or external. 10.5.8 Audio MIDI setup 2.2.2

  • Audio MIDI setup not allowing aggregate device

    I recently upgraded to a mac pro, and transferred everything from my old mac via firewire..
    On my previous computer, using my aggregate device (Roland Fantom + Built-in output + built-in input) was no problem. I would simply choose in Logic my aggregate device under the core Audio preferences, and I could play logic software instruments with the roland keys, record audio through the roland, and play it back through the built-in line output no problem..
    Now, on my mac pro, I can't do this because the aggregate device I created on my previous computer is not showing up under the devices pull-down menu in the core audio preferences in logic, and I cannot create a new aggregate device on this computer, as a matter of fact I cannot even seem to delete the old one... when i click the plus or minus (+/-), the blue shade highlighting the selected audio device just goes straight to the device at the top of the list (which happens to be built-in mic). it does not even allow me to deselect or select any checkboxes within the existing "9/25 aggregate".. when I try it just makes the devices listed in that window wiggle...
    I have attached a screen shot of the Audio Midi setup screen (where one should be able to create aggregate devices)
    Please let me know if you know what could be causing this..

    Could uninstalling and reinstalling Logic completely possibly fix it? I guess that would be unlikely because the audio MIDI Setup window is OS X, unrelated to Logic..
    Correct.
    when i click the plus or minus (+/-), the blue shade highlighting the selected audio device just goes straight to the device at the top of the list
    This is one of the reasons why I am still suspecting some kind of permissions problem, even though you said this user has Admin privileges. I suspect a permissions problem because the symptom you described ("the blue shade highlighting the selected audio device just goes straight to the device at the top of the list") is exactly what happens if you do not have Admin privileges and you press the + button.
    I think this issue has to do with the fact that there was not a clean install of snow leopard
    I agree. My theory is that something about the way you moved items to this machine led to a permissions problem, and this permissions problem is causing AMS (Audi MIDI Setup) to behave the way you see.
    I recently upgraded to a mac pro, and transferred everything from my old mac via firewire..
    I know you connected via FireWire, but how did you control what was being transferred? Did you use Migration Assistant, or some other method?
    In my comment here, I advised 55plus to check something. What happens when you check the thing I advised him to check?
    You have not mentioned Disk Utility. I would use it to Repair Permissions. Then launch AMS. Does the + button work now?
    Next I would try this: create a new OS X user account, with administrator privileges, and log in as that user. Then launch AMS. Does the + button work now?
    55plus, I intend to respond to you too, but this is all I have time for right now.

  • Not working properly , long delays on sys pref , audio midi set up

    The only thing i did recently was update to 10.6.6 and install adobe design suite cs5 ( so not much lol)
    i first thought this was a log in programme so i deleted all start up items then creted a new account with admin authority but still the problem persists.
    when starting my mac ( Nov 2008 ) once finder has loaded i click system preferences and the spinning ball appears for 2/3 mins before i can access and use the computer. same for audio midi set up.
    as i said i have tried a new account and the problem still persists.
    I have had a dodgy fire wire cable recently that has been force ejecting hd's but i have found and replaced , this problem is since 10.6.6 and adobe design collection

    Redo the installation, omitting the COMBO, make a bootable backup of it, boot from the install disc, select the disk, repair it, and then one at a time, download the delta updates, examining the behavior until you can pinpoint what's causing the slowdowns. See

  • Problem with Audio MIDI Setup using multiple accounts

    I'm having a problem with Audio MIDI Setup recognizing all of the MIDI devices on a G4 Tower with a non-administrator account. The main administrator account has no problem seeing anything, but the non-admin account won't see anything. Does it all have to be added in manually, or is there a preferences file to copy over that will take care of this. Failing that, is it a problem with file permissions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Don't know whether this of any help, but there's an identifiable issue with AMS and Digital Performer 5 where DP5 simply won't load with AMS setups configured with previous versions of DP. Which is probably irrelevant to your problem, but ...
    What I and other DP users have found we have to do is start with a completely new, blank AMS setup, and reconfigure our devices from scratch, and although this was kind of hit and miss and on the fly (don't really understand what the the issue was, exactly), I think the bottom line was if we used the new AMS setup with DP5 before anything else that might cause its data tables to change, we were ok.
    So if you can do it, it might be worth setting AMS to a new blank template, then connecting your interfaces, see how far you get. And always make sure you've got the latest drivers of course, though I'm sure you've done that.
    Never used Mbox or 410, but I've an Ozonic which I think uses the same M-Audio firewire drivers as the 410, and don't have any problem with that, FWIW.
    G5 Dual 2.7, MacMini, iMac 700; P4/XP Desk & Lap.   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   mLan:01x/i88x; DP 5.1, Cubase SX3, NI Komplete, Melodyne.

  • Setting up m-audio firewire 410 as an aggregate device

    Having an issue setting up my m-audio firewire 410 as an aggregate device. When I set it up it gives of this God awful distortion sound. I had it set up to my G4 with no problems. But then I upgrade to a MacBookPro, got the latest driver for this version and model, and still...nothing. Any ideas? I need to record and this is really bugging me.

    It doesn't sound good with anything else. I just updated the newest driver and I am still unable to get rid of that radio static distortion sound. It is becoming very frustrating. I know it has something to do with the fact that I'm on a new Mac, because I got it to work with my PBG4 and it still does. It would be kind of stupid to record with the PBG4 but not my MacBookPro. Unless I just get another interface altogether. I shouldn't have to. It's still a great inerface. There's got to be a way to fix this issue. I'm just running out of patience. Thanks anyway.

  • Still having trouble with audio on Macbook Pro

    I had posted a discussion board earlier on this issue. I've been having trouble with audio for certain videos on youtube and basically any website embedded with a video. The audio works for a few seconds that doesn't or it doesn't work at all. My volume is up, not on mute, and the one on the video isn't on mute either. It's funny because I just tried watching a video on Firefox (as opposed to Safari) and it works. Could it possible be something with the settings for safari?

    Try restarting your Mac, resetting your router, and resetting your modem. My cable internet has gotten slow at times as well, and when I reset my router everything cleared up.

  • Trouble with audio driver HPG60-243C​L

    Hello.
    A few days ago, I needed to format my notebook (model G60-243CL) and I did everything just like I'm used to do. I reinstaled Windows 7 and after instaling the drivers downloaded from HP drivers page, I had to restart the computer. That's when my troubles began.
    Sometimes, when starting up, everything goes on properly until the Windows loading screen, when my computer suddenly restarts again. It doesn't happen everytime and it seems a bit random to me. However, I noticed that when it finally turns on after restarting several times, the audio is a bit odd in every application that involves audio like musics players, videos and games.
    On the rare occasions where my notebook manages to start up properly, the audio stays normal.
    I already tried formating again, reinstaling the audio drivers and codecs, but nothing seems to work. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    There is no simple way to record sound in Java, AFAIU.

    Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer. I tried mixer 6 above without success.
    Is it not possible to record computer audio when a microphone is connected? If it is, how?
    Significant question. Are you interested in getting this code to work for the machine you sit in front of, or is this for 'the general end user'?
    I have no general solution for the latter, but for a single machine, installing an 'audio loop-back' (either software or hardware) might be the answer. That is the most intelligent thing I can offer that might help get around this problem.

  • Trouble with audio devices

    I wrote a simple Java application to record audio on some mixer and then play it back. With my headphones / microphone connected, I got the following list of mixers:
    1. Primary Sound Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
    2. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
    3. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
    4. Primary Sound Capture Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
    5. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
    6. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
    7. Java Sound Audio Engine : Software mixer and synthesizer
    8. Port Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Port Mixer
    9. Port SoundMAX HD Audio : Port Mixer
    Of these, mixers 2, 5 and 8 are not available when the headphones are detached, as expected.
    Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer.

  • Trouble With Audio Coming Out of Sync

    I am having trouble with audio sync
    I am using .mov files of myself talking however I also record audio of myself talking as well. The audio files record as mp3 however I convert them to aiff files in order to better synch them in FCP
    I have an audio sound as an in point in order to better sync them and the syncing is perfect when i start.
    My files are about an hour and a half long and 20 minutes or so the audio starts to come out of sync and my mouth becomes a half second or so behind the audio. I record this audio live so there is no delay between my speaking and my recording voice but the longer the video goes the more out of sync I become.
    My syncing method that I use is "Merge Clips" at the in points.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    All sorts of things you can do.
    Easiest fix is just to run down your timeline and every few minutes snip the audio and move it back into sync.
    Now after that;""
    Qe have no idea what your process was. We assume you're editing in Final Cut. How did you import your footage? What format is it in the browser?
    what are the settings of your timeline? Look at the sequence settings.
    You know that you can plug audio from
    mic into a Zi8?
    You need to get rid of the mixer hum. Likely ac electrical
    interference , a ground fault, but who knows.

  • HT3956 I have tried to connect three MOTU 828mk3's using this new aggregate device listed here, but it wont work any suggestions?

    Hi
    I am trying to use three 828mk3's with an analouge desk and after creating a new aggregate device in Audio/midi set up it doesn't seem to work, also the blue shaded are doesn't allow me to move the volume up or down?
    Any suggetions?
    Thanks

    Hi
    The situation is like this, we have ordered 3 motu 828mk3 AI's to replace old avid hardware. We have a 24 track analogue BIG desk made by langley. The issue is that Logic 9 and Pro tools 10 don't want to use all the sound cards together, if we change the playback engine to MOTU 2 then we can use channels 9-16, then the 3rd one for channels 17-24 etc. Looking around at forums and other sites as lead me to set up a new aggregate device in the audio/midi set up in utilities. Again after we tried this it still doesn't allow us to use all three together. Motu state that you can daisy chain up to 4 devices, i have sent an email to MOTU but have yet to gain a response.

  • Mainstage2 Compatability With Audio/ MIDI Interfaces and Lion?

    I've recently upgraded to a new laptop with Lion and my old interface is no longer supported.
    Can anyone suggest a small unit that will work with Mainstage2?
    I bought the Scarrlet and it works with Logic but not Mainstage2.
    Thanks!

    not true...
    I use an external DAC connected through the digital output of the Mac Book Pro...Then, in order to play the music at the correct sample rate I DO have to change the setting in the audio/midi setup if using iTunes as a player.(before even open iTunes)
    Amarra is a much better player than iTunes and it change the sample rate by itself without having to do it manually. But the issue remains, I just can not choose 88.2 KHz....
    Any other ideas?

  • Annoyance with Audio Midi Setup and ports in Logic

    Hi all,
    Just wondering if anyone else is annoyed with the way midi ports are addressed in Logic, in relation to Midi control of various commands in Logic.
    A simple case in point for me is when I have my Virus TI turned on, I have one set up of logic_cs preferences and another for when my Virus TI is turned off. The only around this is to double up on the settings within the controller assignments window.
    So you buy a new piece of external midi kit and all of a sudden all your previously setup controllers stop working..... So you have to re-enter them all again one by one.
    Sometimes adding or removing a device, doesn't affect it at all... Just depends on the order of the ports on the physical input (in the environment).
    If you could rename the ports in the Audio Midi Setup and change the order in which they appear, you might have some control over the random nature of the problem.
    Has anyone else run into this, or am I the only bothering with it?
    Matt

    It's a well documented and long outdated situation.

  • Trouble with audio channels

    Hi. I'm having a bit of trouble with creating audio tracks. Say if I create a few audio tracks, I'll put a loop on one of the tracks and the signal goes through to the next track down and plays the loop on two tracks instead of one. anyone know why this is happening?

    I've never encountered this so I can't really say. I can't imagine that you're running out of Audio objects as they are 256 Audio objects available in Logic. So if you've used 256 Audio objects already Logic can't create new Audio objects and will assign each new track to the same object. But I don't see this being the problem in your case.
    Anyway check the track configuration by control+clicking/right clicking onto the track headers and checking to which Audio objects the new tracks are actually assigned.

  • HT200244 Hi, my name is josh and im having trouble with my midi driver in logic. i keep getting midi timeout and it pauses at checking midi drivers i am running osx 10.6.8 and i have logic pro 9

    i cant seem to find out what it is i put pro tools on it but when i went to delete the drivers there was nothing in the folder that indicated digidesignmidi was in there

    You should find the driver in
    <Name of your system hard drive>/Library/Audio/Midi Drivers
    You might also find one in
    <Name of your System Hard Drive>/Users/<Your user name>/Library/Audio/Midi Drivers
    Replace anything in <...> with your systems actual info...
    Also check the Midi Devices folder in each of the Audio folders....

  • Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes

    Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod.  How can I get them back on ipod??  They are showing in music library on itunes still.

    If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
    Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
    And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
    No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database.
