Trying to record using M-Audio MobilePre USB- Signal but no sound

I'm trying to record an acoustic guitar using the M-Audio MobilePre. GarageBand is picking up the signal while I'm recording, but when I go to play it back, I'm unable to hear any sound. What am I doing wrong?

Home Recording w/ AT3035 & M-Audio Mobilepre USB

Hi All-
I am looking for a good way to get sound from my mic (Audio Technica AT3035) into my iBook (G3, OS X.3.9, 900MHz, 256 MB RAM).
A friend recommended the M-Audio Mobilepre USB, but I've read about people having problems w/ condenser mics.
I realize ideally I would get a new computer and an Mbox, but that's not an option. I'm a grad student, and funds are very limited. Even the Mobilepre is stretching it.
Any suggestions/comments?
Thanks,
Wes.

Wes: I purchased a Behringer mic200, which is a low priced tube preamp with +48v phantom power for a condenser mic. I have been very happy with the results and features. I know that A.R.T. also makes a good one. Only problem for you is that these preamps are powered via a wall wart. Set up is via the audio input jack as opposed to usb.

No audio selection after loading Driver for M-Audio MobilePre USB

I recently downloaded the latest Driver for my M-Audio MobilePre USB on my Mac Pro and the audio input out put selection in the system preferences are not showing up. However it does show it listed in "Other" in system preverences, but only the volume control.
How do I get it the input and output selection to work?

I tried calling them but they said you need to have a service number, when you registered, which I got mine about 9 or so years ago and dont remember any numbers!
You need to purchase a number to talk to service, its a bunch of c#@@p.

M-Audio MobilePre USB on new iMac

Hi All
Well, I ordered my 20" iMac on the 25th of August, and it wasn't suppose to ship till tomorrow. And today, I found out I got a nice free upgrade to the new Core 2 Duo 20" iMac, which really made me happy Looks like I'll be getting one of the first BTO Core 2 Duo iMacs, which is really awesome
Anyway, my question to you all is about the M-Audio MobilePre USB and if any of you got it working on the Intel iMacs running 10.4.7. Last I checked, they only had Intel and PPC drivers for upto 10.4.6. My Powerbook is running 10.3.9 so I can't test to see if it would work with the latest OS (plus, the power adapter had a melt down, so I can't even use it at the moment).
Thanks,

Hi phjo,
Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to wait and see when my new iMac arrives.
By the way, besides a newer and faster processor, is there any other major difference between the old 20" iMac and the new Core 2 Duo one?
Thanks,

Monitoring and recording using my audio interface

I am new to the logic express program. When I try to record with my audio interface (whether mic or instrument), do I always have to go to the "Device Input" settings and swithc the input to my interface? Even when I do that, the bars move indicating sound, but I cant hear it...dont know what I am doing wrong?
So basically, right now, I record without being able to monitor, then when I want to hear it, I have to switch the device input back from the interface to the default device?
It seems I am making this harder than it is.
Thanks for the help.

I am having the same problem (using a presonus firepod). Tried the aggregate solution but it is not working.
Steps I took: Aggregate Device Editor > selected firepod and built-in output. Then in Audio Midi setup selected aggregate device as default input. In Logic Ex 8, preferences>audio>enabled core audio and selected aggregate device as the driver. Created a new track, tried using input monitoring and the record button. I can see the levels go up and down, so there is signal, but no sound for me to hear. The inputs and outputs for the track are input 1 outputs 1&2.
So am I doing something wrong?
Thanks guys.

Can't hear sound with M-Audio MobilePre USB driver in Logic 7.2

Hi. I've installed an M-Audio MobilePre USB interface to hook up a nova mic and i've also hooked up an oxygen eight midi keyboard. Can't get any sound from Logic when i select M-Audio MobilePre USB as my driver, and can't get Logic to recognize my midi keyboard. I have downloaded the latest M-Audio MobilePre USB update off the web, and still nothing. I'm new at all of this. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

I'm wondering did you install the drivers and after that plugin the usb devices or did you leave them plugged in during install?
What happens when you unplug the midi interface and put it back in? Is it recognized by Logic by putting up a dialog that something has changed?

Anybody using M-Audio Transit USB with Front Row?

If any of you are using Front Row with the external Transit USB D/A Coverter, and are experiencing freezing issues, you may want to read below what I have been able to figure out as to why this is happening.
After MANY hours of frustration, I have been able to confirm that the Transit USB is causing the following problem:
I have a Mac Mini with a clean install of Leopard 10.5.2 and all Apple updates. Nothing else is installed. With the Transit NOT connected to the Mini, I installed the latest 1.7-3 drivers from your site and restarted computer. I then connected the Transit and selected AC-3 as the Audio Output. In order to make Front Row see AC-3, you must open "DVD Player" and select its output to "Digital Out - M-Audio Transit USB" instead of "System Sound Output". You then need to restart Mini. With that done, playing movies thru "DVD Player" works fine. However, when you go to watch a movie thru "Front Row", the Transit (for some reason) causes "Front Row" to freeze. It doesn't freeze during movie playback, it freezes when hitting "Menu" and you are sitting at the Menu Screen that asks for the following 3 options: "Resume Playing", "Start from Beginning", or "DVD Menu". There is no way to get out of this frozen state. You MUST restart computer. When computer restarts, if you go into "DVD Player" Preferences and change the audio output selection back to "System Sound Output" and restart computer, this issue disappears and Front Row works fine again (however, without AC-3).
To reiterate my point: Transit USB works fine with DVD Player but NOT with Front Row. I have confirmed this on 2 Mac Mini's.

This is indeed an M-Audio issue. I have the same setup you do, except my mini is a 1.25GHz G4 with no on-board Digital audio output.
To make it work with front row, you have to go to (Settings) and turn off the background music, it will stop freezing and let you select your media.
My AC3 output from my Transit USB has never worked in this configuration. My receiver just doesn't see AC3 coming out of it.....soooo no sound at all. However I set it to (Outputs 1&2), (24bit) and boom...my receiver plays back in its Pro Logic setting via an optical connection from the Transit. All my movies and music playback just lovely. BUT. If I go on the net and try to play a flash video, like a YouTube, etc... Safari will freeze. I verified it is the Transit and not Safari because the moment I unplug the Transit, Safari wakes up, the video resumes and sound plays through the internal speaker just fine.
Something's goofy with the M-Audio Driver for Leopard.

Nasty feedback when trying to record using the internal mic

I get nasty feedback when trying to record using the internal mic on my macbook. I'm running Maverick. Why is this happening?

Note: there may be other issues involved, but without further details I can only suggest that using headphones is the best way to accurately hear what you're recording, adjust gain levels, and avoid feedback. So this should be the first thing to try as you troubleshoot.

My MacBook used to play DVDs. I've tried several that used to work on this computer but none work now.

You might need to update the remote application. i know there was a bug when the 5.2 update was released that caused an issue with the remote app. Apple released an update the following day for the remote app.

HT201407 i cannot activate my iphone 3Gs i tried many times using wifi and connect. to itunes but activtion is always failed

Hi, i cannot activate my iphone 3Gs i tried many times using wifi and connect. to itunes but activtion is always failed. can you help me to fix this problem?

Do you have a SIM in the phone?
A SIM is required to activate it.
If you DO have a SIM in it, the most common cause of this problem is a phone that was hacked to illegally unlock it and has been updated or restored.

What do you think about M-Audio MobilePre USB?

I need to buy an audio interface with my mac, but I don't really know what to buy. The MobilePre USB seemed to be okay for my budget, but is there any latency problems since the hardware is USB connected?
What are your other suggestions for an audio interface that works well (Edirol, M-audio, others???)? I don't need more than two simutaneous audio inputs.
Thanks again!
Etienne Lehoux-Jobin

I have the MobilePre and I'm pleased with it. The latency is not really an issue for me. It's low enough that when I record direct with my bass, I don't notice it at all. If you use the hardware monitoring headphone jack, be sure to turn off software monitoring, or you will notice a very brief echo/reverb sound due to the latency. I don't use the hardware or software monitor when recording guitar, and I either plug the amp's line out into the preamp or mic it. For vocals I just turn off my monitors (or you could turn off software monitoring in Logic) and plug in headphones to the zero-latency jack. Sometimes I will turn off hardware monitoring and add some reverb to the vocal track while recording, and the software monitoring works just fine too... I don't notice the latency.
One nice feature is you can plug in two mics, and two instruments and record them all at once, but you still only have two channels and can't separate them into four signals. That means you need to adjust your instrument volume and the preamp gain before recording since you can't adjust the mix later.
But I do have my complaints with the MobilePre! The biggest annoyance is that after a while the device will make bizarre noises that get worse and you must reconnect the device. This happens after a few weeks maybe. But what's more annoying is sometimes after I reconnect the device my iBook will hang for several minutes before recognizing the device. On one occasion it caused a kernel panic and I had to reboot! I really hate this, since I take my iBook to work every day and have to reconnect when I get home. Plugging the device in while the iBook is still sleeping, then opening the case seems to work better.
Another thing to beware of is the preamps aren't the best quality (obviously, for $150!). When I turn them up past 3/4 they introduce noticable noise and at night they pick up some weirdo radio station. I rarely need to set them past 1/2 though (which is low enough that I can't hear the radio station interference) and can boost the signal in Logic if it's necesarry.
Overall, the MobilePre was so cheap the small problems weren't enough for me to say I regret buying one. I haven't heard anyone else have the same problem with reconnecting the device so I can't say you'll have the same problem. I've had mine a year and I'm looking to get a Firebox soon, since I have started to outgrow my MobilePre. But it has served me well.

Help trying to record a VM audio message from my Blackberry 8100 to my PC.

I'm trying to save a voice mail message from my Blackberry to my PC.I was told that if I used Phantom Cable Male2.5mm to Male3.5mm, that I would be able to simply plug it in to my ear phone jack on my blackberry and my Audio Line-In jack on my PS and then use my recording software to capture the sound from my phone. For some reason, the sound does not appear to be going through the cable. When I plug it in to the phone, I can still hear the sound clearly through the normal ear speaker on the phone. It seems the phone is not recognizing the cable. Someone has said that this may be due to the my cable being a stereo to stereo cable and the the Blackberry may use a 4 conductor jack for the earpice. Can anyone shed any light on this, or at least give me a suggestion of how I can transfer an audio message from my blackberry to my pc?
Kind regards,
Mike

Go to http://www.cbwproductions.com/vwclientsorder.html. It's $10 for the first voicemail you want recorded and $5 for each additional voicemail, but if you really want the voicemail saved, it's definitely worth it!

High pitched noise when recording w/ M-Audio Producer USB Microphone

hello,
I have an M-Audio Producer USB Microphone. Recording with GarageBand, nothing else connected, using an the Apple AC power cord (three pronged ground).
When I record with it plugged into the USB port closest to my FireWire port there is a constant high pitched noise.
When I record with it plugged into the USB port furthest from the FireWire port there is no noise at all (as it should be).
What's wrong with my USB port closest to the FireWire?

I am having major problems with iMovie (and iDVD) ever since I upgraded to OS.X.10.5.6. I had to scrap my last promo-video. I am now recreating it very gingerly saving as I go but I am now stuck again. I am getting the digital audio screeching under my video clips when I extract the audio and under insert titles and transitions. Does this describe your 'crickets'?
I have clean video and audio signal from my camcorder. Check your cam' playback to verify. After three attempts I do have clean material in iMovie but cannot proceed until I resolve this issue. I ruined my last video when I extracted the audio and ended up with a garbled rumble which I could not reverse.
I have another question elsewhere regarding burning to DVD but I now need to resolve this before I can get to test the recommendations in the reply.
I hope I have helped focus your symptoms. I also hope there is an answer out there for this issue.
BTW, Canon ZR-60 Firewire
Cheers,
Denny
