Using audio interface w/ GB

Got a PreSonus AudioBix interface, plugged it into USB port. In GB Preferences, selected Audio/MDI and the device ist not listed as either an audio input or output option.
Tried Audio MIDI Utility--it doesn't detect the device, either.
There must be a simple answer to this problem. Any help is appreciated.

This may or may-not work.
But when I first installed GarageBand10,
it did-not recognize my usb mic.
I un-plugged the usb cable, and then plugged it back into my mac mini,
and GaragreBand instantly recognized it!

  • Need help: just upgraded to Mavericks, now can't use audio interface.

    I just upgraded to mavericks, and now Itunes and my other programs don't recognize my audio interface.
    It's a MobilePre USB preamp. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the driver without success. Interesting, QuickTime sends audio to the external preamp, the sound is filled with static. I've tried playing with latency, but that doesn't help.
    I can't understand why Quicktime recognizes the external device, but Itunes doesn't. Suggestions are appreciated.
    My machine is 21.5 inch late 2009 model with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 12 GB of RAM.

    Hope this references the equipment you are using.
    The last update to the drivers is 1.1.3 Nov 2012
    http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/download/MobilePre-Drivers?popup=true&N ewLang=en&DocType=1450&q=MobilePre
    If this is correct perhaps an email to Avid could help. I would think that they need to update their drivers to suit Mavericks.
    There is also a link on that page to an article about Pro Tools and state that it is not supported on Mavericks at this time.

  • How do I use an audio interface with iMovie?

    I'm trying to shoot a short clip of a musician playing. I want to use an interface with my higher end mics, and use iMovie '09 to shoot video. I have a Presonus Firebox as my interface. iMovie just doesn't seem to want to recognize it, nor record through it. This isn't something I can share to GarageBand because the timing between the video and audio has to be perfect. Any help?
    Thanks

    Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example.  Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized.  Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
    The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

    I’m having an intermittent problem with my midi controllers triggering Mainstage 3.
    I’m using a PreSonus Firebox audio interface.
    It’s been working fine for months, but now when I first turn on the computer in the morning , I’m not able to trigger MainStage from the keyboard.  I tried different midi controllers, different keyboards, different midi cords, and check midi preferences.  The audio interface is working fine and is recogonized, but the midi doesn’twork.  I re-started the computer several times and then finally it miraculously starts working again.
      I’ve been having to this every day now.  Any help or ideas is very much appreciated.

    I Had the same problem with a FireStudio. Try unplugging the FireWire plug and the power plug. Wait for a few seconds, then plug both back in. The light on my FireStudio was flashing blue/red which means "not connecting." I did what I just described, and everything works again. Hope it works for you.

  • ? on Using which format of Audio Interface with a Imac i3

    Hi,
    I have been reading and reading about this topic. My (R.I.P.) eMac has been replaced by a very nice and fast Intel i3 Imac with FW800 and plenty of USB 2.0 and SP/Dif (even)
    Fortunately most all of any music gear that needed driver or firmware updates for Snow Leopard had them available, but my Tascam US-120 (USB 1.1) does not so have been looking at USB 2.0 (though its amazing how many USB 1.1 USB Audio Interfaces are still be produced and at $$$ prices. Firewire Audio Interfaces are at FW 400 and with a Firewire 800 port on the back of the iMac appears ? that a interface cable is the required or ? only way to use a Firewire interface 1) I want to make sure I am understanding this correctly, and 2) is this safe ? to do 3) I am getting a FW 800 Extrenal Hard Drive so that is a match, 7200RPM,
    I do plug in to the Interface (or did) at times 2 microphones XLR type (to put mic's on a amplifier) , a Electric Guitar , or a Acoutsic Electric Guitar in to the interface or record it with a mic's, I have a MIDI Keyoard that has MIDI in-out as well as USB in, and also plugged two power monotors(Linear Flat Speakers) in to the out puts of the previous Audio Interface.
    Last Question I reviewed the bit/kHz of the USB 1.1 interfaces and they range from 16 bit//48 kHz,24bit 44.1kHz, to 24bit 48kHz to 24bit 96kHz (on a USB 1.1 connection from the particular USB audio Interfaces when you find a USB 2.0 modem the max bit rate is 24 and the kHz (ranges from 96 kHz to 192 kHz) I am not a electronics genius
    but have recorded music in to computers for over 6+ years and the Resolution rates of the USB 1.1 do not make sense to me (I realize that MP3 (being compressed) and CD quality recordings are only so high but..
    I am going to (later) update to Ilife 11 with Garageband 11' which can record up to the 24 bit range so that is a consideration as well
    The FW 400 resolution rates in the chart I have are a minimum of 24 bit and kHZ range of 96 kHz to 192 kHz . and in theory USB 2.0 is a bit faster at 480 mbs versus FW 400
    at 400 mbs and from what I have learned USB 1.1 is slowest, I guess I am missing something, over thinking this or. Just want to do it safely, and get all of the inputs and out puts I need (I can even use the SP/Dif that comes on alot of Audio Interfaces, The AES Audio Engineers Society just wrapped up a convention and have been looking at their site and new product releases.
    Any Input would be greatly appreciated and I wish I could write less and explain more!

    If you can stretch your budget (quite a bit actually, but you can find deals on the net) I can't recommend the RME Fireface 800 models enough. Lots of I/O, never EVER had a crash, and the drivers and tools are rock solid. RME also makes a FF400 which has less I/O, but also costs less. The sound is steller, and it has no discernable noise. These are Firewire interfaces, but they just camme out with one that also talks USB.

  • The best audio interface with Mac Mini using new & existing equipment?

    Hi,
    I got my existing set-up back in 2003. I'm now about to update it.
    I've talked to Apple Technical Support re which computer is best for me.
    Some important questions remain in terms of the audio interface or sound bridge I should use.
    I've detailed below my existing set-up, my existing configuration, my desired set-up (as recommended by Apple expert) and questions I have.
    Existing set-up:
    Hardware...
    1. ViewSonic HDMI 1080p Full HD LED monitor
    2. PowerMac G4 (PowerPC processor) computer
    3. PCI-424 soundcard within computer (works in conjunction with MOTU 2408 mk3 unit)
    4. MOTU 2408 mk3
    5. Quested monitors
    6. Focusrite Session Pack ff ISA220 compressor
    7. MOTU micro lite (midi-usb interface)
    8. Keyboard (yet to choose - I'll explain later)
    9. ADK Tube Condenser Commemorative Edition microphone
    10. ADK Tube Condenser Commemorative Edition microphone power box (supplies both power and phantom power)
    Software...
    11. Tiger 10.4.11 operating system
    12. Logic Studio 8 music program
    Desired set-up:
    1. ViewSonic HDMI 1080p Full HD LED monitor
    2. Mac Mini full spec = £999.00
    3. _______________________________________
    4. _______________________________________
    5. Quested monitors
    6. _______________________________________
    7. _______________________________________
    8. _______________________________________
    9. ADK Tube Condenser Commemorative Edition microphone
    10. ADK Tube Condenser Commemorative Edition microphone power box (supplies both power and phantom power)
    Software...
    11. Top-end operating system = Comes with Mac Mini
    12. Logic Pro X music program = £139.99
    Existing configuration:
    ViewSonic HDMI 1080p Full HD LED monitor goes into PowerMac G4 (PowerPC processor) computer
    PCI-424 soundcard within computer (works in conjunction with MOTU 2408 mk3 unit)
    MOTU 2408 mk3 used as my audio interface for sound in and sound out. This means that the sound comes out of computer via the MOTU 2408 and out of my Quested monitors (they are active so self-powered) which are attached to the MOTU's outputs.
    When I record vocals I sing into my ADK microphone (this microphone sources its own power from its own box which also feeds it Phantom Power) which is connected by a mic to jack cable to the Focusrite compressor which is connected by jack to jack cable to the MOTU 2408 which then goes into my computer via a firewire cable.
    When I play keyboards or use my keyboard as a midi controller it connects to my computer via the MOTU micro lite (midi-usb interface).
    I don't currently have a keyboard. I used to use my basic Yamaha PSR-540 keyboard as a midi controller but as it's not weighted and faulty I needed to get a new one. We got a new one via Thomann which was the M-Audio Pro Keys 88 keyboard but this quickly became faulty. We returned it and have since been considering other weighted keyboards. I am simply wanting a keyboard with Aftertouch, either 76 or 88 keys, weighted keys and very importantly, hammer action where the action is fast. I don't care for other controllers on the keyboard, on-board sounds, iPad compatibility or whatever.
    My Questions:
    Q1) Can you recommend any keyboards meeting my specifications?
    Q2) I can't imagine any of the Blue or other USB mics competing with my ADK and I'm quite happy with it. For vocals and when I've wanted to play the keyboard in as audio (not as a midi controller) I've used the Focusrite compressor to boost the sound. I'm not using many functions/presets on the compressor as I know it's best to record the sound of vocals mostly raw, is this correct, and if so is it worth me continuing to use this compressor or sell it?
    Q3) Do I need to have the MOTU micro lite (midi to usb) unit? Don't most keyboards these days connect direct usb to usb on the computer?
    Q4) I'm happy and used to the sound out from my Quested monitors. I'm happy and used to the sound in using my ADK microphone. What do I need for these to work best with the Mac Mini? Is my MOTU 2408 good for this, or is another MOTU product needed, or another product altogether?
    Q5) Depending on (Q4) do I need a soundcard installed in the Mac Mini as I read on a forum that these days the audio interface acts like the soundcard?
    Q6) I have such a bad connection to the internet it's like I have Dial-up!!! I use Airport Wireless which is connected to a router downstairs, which is 02 Broadband. Internet's not an issue downstairs on my girlfriend's intel PC which also uses a wireless connection but not Airport. Is this a problem because of my Airport, or do I need to get a router for upstairs, or should I connect it directy to the router downstairs by ethernet cable?
    Many thanks!

    Is there a reason you don't want to use your current Tascam?

    Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
    The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Tristan...
    This is what you have, correct?
    http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
    This from Alesis..
    "The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
    Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
    My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

  • After using my new firewire audio interface, my devices get electrostatic

    I recently bought a Focusrite Saffire 24DSP which is connected by a firewire cable to my macbook pro (late 2010). I connect it as stated with my macbook of. Now there are moments (and unfortunately they are moment of surprise) that my macbook's case get all electrostatic. Not just a little bit but one that makes your hair rises. Also at that same moment the case of the Focusrite audio interface is also all static, also the back of my audio monitors/speakers (which is connected by xlr-cable to this audio interface), these last two devices are the worse, and even in some cases the metal case of my Novation Remote SL keyboard which is connected by usb to my macbook. You can understand that I sometimes getting nervous to touch anything once the audio interface is powered on... or at the end of my session to power my stuff off.
    I first thought that connecting the audio interface to its own wall socket/adapter, instead of using it by powered from the firewire, would solve it, but not.
    Even this morning, after powering off everything last night (though the firewire cable still connected), i got a shock when opening my macbook and 5min. later touching the audio interface. How can I resolve this? Is it a problem of my new interface, is it a firewire problem? or is it the macbook? ......
    Would it help to put the audio interface on rubber feets.. or should I take care in what order I put devices on and off? Please any help or suggestions, since waking up this way is a terrible one

    Is the MBP plugged in using a three pronged properly grounded outlet?

  • Feedback when using an Audio Interface

    Hello! I recently recorded some music with friends of mine. I am using an audio interface which I have a Mic and a guitar plugged into. So on the recording they sound crystal clear. Due to the fact the interface has only two lines in (MONO) I can not set up another mic for the drums. So I used the aggregate device through the MIDI and on garageband i record with the interface and the built in mic. Where I am encountering a problem is for the built in mic recording, it is also picking up the mic and guitar through the amp. I can't figure out how to filter it pre-recording, or take it away post-recording. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    -Kevin C

    The mic will record everything it hears, no amount of filtering is going help much. If you already have a clean guitar and vocal track just delete the drum track and just record a new drum track using the Mic and interface. Make sure the drummer uses headphones to monitor the playback

  • Recording using an audio interface or audio cable?

    Hi everyone,
    I am a newbie with Garageband and home recording in general and I just wanted some advice about the best way to record songs I have written on my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer onto Garageband 09.
    So far I have been using a basic audio cable which is connected to my apple Imac from my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer to copy the songs I have written on my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer to Garageband and it sounds ok but I just wondered whether I should buy an audio interface and connect that to my Korg Triton Extreme synthersizer and my apple imac and Garageband and whether this would give me a significantly better quality recording of each song?
    All advice is welcome.
    Many thanks.

    You can record audio with a cheap cable for a few bucks or use an Audio Interface worth a couple of thousand bucks.
    Do you get a better quality for you money ... definately yes.
    Do you hear the difference ... it depends
    At the end, it comes down to your needs.
    In your case, you use a synthesizer that outputs line level. If you setup your level correctly (sending and receiving), then you might be ok and maybe not hear a difference with an expesive device. Even if you would hear a better sound in an A/B comparison, at the end it comes down to the following question: If you could hear only one solution (cheap or expensive) and you can't hear if it was recorded with the cheap or the expensive equipment then it doesn't matter.
    At the end, your money might be better spent on better speakers (that let you judge what you hear) or thrid party plugins that give you more production value.
    Recording a guitar signal or microphone - that is a completely different story.
    Hope that helps

  • Using an old MBox (by DigiDesign/Avid with USB) as an audio interface.

    Hello,
    I've been using my old iMac (2004 vintage, running OS X10.4) for years to make my (guitar) music recordings, using an older version of ProTools as software and an MBox (DigiDesign/Avid) as the audio interface.
    Now that I have a new MB Pro running the latest OS X, I'm contemplating upgrading my recording platform to this latest version of Logic Pro X. It seems like the right way to go and the software appears to be loaded with all the right features.
    But, I would like to keep my old MBox as the audio interface. It's a very solid, 2 input unit and plenty versatile enough for my guitar recording needs. It also provides phantom power for my condenser mics. (Something that the Symphony I/O unit from Apogee lacks in spite of its high price).
    This early version of MBox has a USB 2.0 interface which would be compatible with my Thunderbolt ports, and plenty fast enough for audio transmission.
    QUestion:
    Do you envision any compatibility issues with this MBox as an Audio Interface unit when working with this latest Logic Pro X software? Anything to watch out for?
    Ultimately I want to avoid having to get a new interface just because of the software change from Pro Tools to Logic X, especially since it's been so good and reliable to me, and still works great.
    Many thanks in advance for any hints, comments and insights!
    Andre

    Here is a little update to to my ongoing Mbox driver quest.
    I downloaded the drivers (as stated on the Avid site: Last Updated : July 9, 2013) for my legacy FW interface (Mbox 2 Pro) from here:
    http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/download/en379411
    Installed the drivers, no interface attached to my computer. After the re-start I connected the Mbox and it was recognized in Audio MIDI Setup without any fuzz. Then I started Logic 9 and sure enough after taking a brief moment to evaluate MIDI drivers the whole OS crashed on me in a very severe way:

    But this was no surprise at all! After rebooting and repairing disk permissions I gave ProTools 9 a try and… in all its glory there it was. Now, encouraged by this success, I firmly double-clicked the LX icon and lo and behold, without a hitch! After that Logic 9 also without any complaints. This has made my day after all!
    May I draw your attention to the fact that I didn't took any action to mend anything (except permission repair). So what has happened, I ask myself? Has the ML OS the power to heal itself? I'm truly puzzled.
    Until further notice: on this MacPro, this Mbox 2 Pro is supported by ML and LX!
    BTW, if you care to choose MOTU hardware to work on, you will not regret it I'm sure. They have never ever left me standing in the cold, driver-wise or support-wise! Two things I can not say about Apogee, Avid/Digi and some more starting with the letter A ……
    Good luck!

  • Is there a way to use the onboard mic and an audio interface simultaneously with the iPad?

    I teach bass lessons with skype and was wondering if theres a way to do this with an ipad
    Can the ipad pic up my voice(through internal mic) and bass(throgh audio interface) simultaniusly and then use both of those signals with skype?
    Any ideas on how I might teach skype lessons with an ipad? Thanks http:/http://basslessonsunlimited.com

    Yes.
    1) Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> ports on your existing wireless router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
    2) Go through the standard configuration suggested by the setup "wizard"
    3) Then manually turn off the wireless function using AirPort Utility

  • Problem Using Zoom H4 as an Audio Interface with Garageband

    I'm new to GB and I am having problems getting started using my Zoom H4 as an Audio Interface with Garageband on my iMAC.
    I'm fairly certain that I have the connection and all of the setting configurations correct, and yet I cannot get any sound from the H4 into GB.
    I do see the sound volume registering in the Input Level window of the H4, but not in GB.
    Here is what I see in my Garageband:
    Preferences >
    Audio/MIDI >
    - System Setting
    - Built-in Microphone
    - Built-in Input
    - H4 Audio IN (when H4 is connected to the iMAC via USB)
    Of course I have selected the H4.
    Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Operators standing by!

    I don't have a H4 but do have a H2. Did you set the H4 as a audio interface, after you plug it in choose interface in the H4 screen?
    Did you choose the H4 input channel in the track info?

  • Using an audio interface with multiple inputs

    Hi,
    I'm currently facing an issue where I need to be able to use the audio from a microphone and a keyboard through Skype calling. I have them both plugged in to a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 audio interface. The problem is that only the microphone plugged into input 1 seems to be coming through, as if Skype will only address one channel of the interface. Is there any way around this or a different method you have used in a similar situation?
    Thanks,

    I stumbled upon this thread in searching for some deeply hidden feature in Skype, but alas, there may not be a fix within Skype.  I realize the parent topic is very old, but I hope this can hope anyone in need of a solution (or get skype to incorporate some sort of summing feature).
    That being said, there is an alternative for those of us with interfaces that have fully customizable routing.  Fully customizable routing, and more than your standard two (stereo) outputs, and at least one more input than you need in total for microphones.
    What we're going to have to do for our podcast (one member is on vacation, states away), is hook all microphones into inputs that are not input 1. As far as I can tell, Skype will only recognize input 1.  In your interface's output routing software, you will need to create a submix/monitor mix (whatever they will call it) that sums (combines) all of the microphones together.  While you have the ability to add the software/daw return to this mix, you typically will not want to, as it could create feedback for the person joining the conversation via skype.
    After you have created this submix/monitor mix (and be sure to double/triple check that input 1 is not involved with this mix at all) you will assign this to an auxiliary output... so say, your interface has 4 outputs, assign it to output 3.  Then lead a cable from the physical output 3 into the physical input 1 on your interface.
    What this accomplishes is we're effectively sending all microphones into input 1, so your Skype recipient will be able to hear a mixdown of all microphones.  Certain interfaces will also allow you to do this routing without cabling.
    There are more things to keep in mind, like if you're recording the call, you'll want to run a parallel output from your Main DAW/Software return into another physical input, but again, quadruple-check that you are not monitoring that track into your main buss as it would create a horrible feedback loop.  Generally I'd have the caller record their audio through Audacity or something free, but getting their recording on my end makes for syncing the call to the room recording so much easier... SO MUCH.
    TL;DR
    1) Make sure you have more than 2 outputs, and 1 more input than you would normally need for mic's.
    2) Plug microphones into inputs 2 and on, saving input 1.
    3) Use interface's software/routing mixer to sum all microphone inputs (EXCEPT 1) to an unused physical output.
    4) Route or connect that output into Input 1.
    0-5) For the love of all audio gods, make sure you are double checking to avoid feedback.
    I also recognize that with the appearance of things like WavTap and Soundflower that there are other solutions -- but this is one option for those of us that do not wish to explore those options.

  • Photobooth crashes every single time when using Motu Hybrid MK3 audio interface?

    Photobooth crashes every single time when using Motu Hybrid MK3 audio interface.
    It is happening on my late 2013 IMAC, and also on my old 2011 Macbook pro.

    Same thing here with Mavericks and M-Audio Fast Track Ultra.  Very easy to reproduce, Apple. Set your audio interface for the external device, try to record Photo Booth video. It will crash. Every. Single. Time. Always.
