Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Cant Hear Playback With Logic

Hi all,
I'm very sorry to trouble you's however I was wondering if anyone can give me a hand.
Im fairly new to Logic. However I just set up my focusrite scarlett 2i2.
It seems to be recording fine however I cannot seem to hear playback of any of my recordings.
I was wondering if anyone had any tips to help me out.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

MM,
First take a look at this part of the manual, mainly the chapter... "Configuring Your Audio Hardware"
http://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/9.1.6/en/logicpro/usermanual/#chapter=2%26sec tion=0
Reading the manual is an important part of learning Logic.
Next:
What are you listening with, where are you expecting to hear the audio playback?
Do you have headphones or speakers plugged into the Focusrite?

Why does my guitar make crackling noises when it plays through logic pro/garageband?

When my guitar plays directly through the interface and montors, it sounds perfectly fine. But whenever I want to add effects through a musical application such as garageband or logic pro x, I get this weird, very loud crackling/bubbly sound. Can anyone help me out with this?

I have the exact same problem and it's been a week or so. It kind of just makes those weird noises out of nowhere and scares the **** out of me. Did you end up at the Apple Store or were you able to fix it up on your own?

Device, driver loaded properly. Can hear through device 'phone input. Cannot hear through Logic Pro.

I successfully loaded the driver to my brand-new Steinberg UR22 interface. The device shows up in Preferences > Audio as the input and output. I can hear a signal through headphones plugged into the headphone jack on the Steinberg.
I cannot hear anything in Logic Pro, however. I've created a track, but cannot get my guitar to generate any movement on the LED fader on the lower left, or change rigs using the guitar amps/effects library on the right.
What am I doing wrong?
Why isn't there anything in the user's manual related to this?

You've created an Audio Track, correct?
Have you set the audio track to the correct input?
The UR22's second (#2) input should be used with the Hi-Z switch enabled.
Input gain at 1/2 also make sure the Master Output is up.
You have a monitoring knob labeled Input/DAW
If you wish to monitor both set the know to the halfway point, balance from that point.
By Master Output I was referring to the Output level on the UR22

Why do I get constant Game Center notifications when I'm playing games? Seriously, if there isn't an easy way to turn off gamecenter, I'll be switching to a Microsoft phone at my next upgrade. I don't want this garbage popping up while I play my games.

Why do I get constant Game Center notifications when I'm playing games? Seriously, if there isn't an easy way to turn off these notifications, I'll be switching to a Microsoft phone at my next upgrade. I don't want this garbage popping up while I play my games. What a worthless, obnoxious piece of junk. Apple, stop ignoring your customers!

How is Apple ignoring their customers, exactly? If you don't want Game Center, why did you sign into it?
Sign out, launch an enabled game. Game Center pops up, close it, launch the game again, it pops up, close it again.
Now it doesn't pop up any longer.
All as documented.

How do I stop all the text being selected in the Google search box when I click in it? I just want the cursor to be placed where I click so I can edit the search field.

If I want to select the whole field I am happy to double click, or tab into the field. More often though I want to refine my search, or correct a spelling mistake.

Click twice to get the blinking cursor.

When clicking on a photo pop-up on website it includes foxfire browser info. I do not want it to do this. Just want the photo to show!!

I have a web page that includes pop-up photos, enlargements of the photo clicked. On Foxfire the pop-up appears in a box with information above and below the photo. The same info that appears on my desktop when in Foxfire. Below is download info, above is file info.
Unfortunately I am having trouble uploaded this site so cannot show you. This does not happen in Safire.

The easiest way is to use the Status-4-Evar add-on. With it you can choose to not display any of the status messages or URL hover previews, or display them in the add-ons bar or location bar instead.

I cannot get the STOP button to appear in the Navigation Toolbar, even after going through the suggestions; it will appear when the Restore Default Set window is open, but disappears as soon as DONE is clicked

The X for STOP loading the page does not appear in the Navigation Toolbar. If I do the right click, select Customize, Restore Default Set, it appears; click Done and it disappears. I have disabled the theme; disabled all extensions; reset the toolbar & controls; unchecked the acceleration. No luck.

Starting in Firefox 4, the Go, Stop and Reload buttons are combined in one button at the right end of the URL or Address bar. The button changes depending on the activity:
*green Go arrow when typing in the address bar
*red Stop ("X") button while page is loading
*gray Reload (circular arrow) when page is finished loading.
Separate buttons are possible:
#Open Customize Toolbar window by clicking Firefox button > Option > Toolbar Layout '''''OR''''' clicking View > Toolbars > Customize if using the Menu Bar '''OR''' right-click in an empty space on a toolbar and choose Customize
#Stop and Reload buttons will show separated between the address bar and the search bar
#drag the buttons anywhere on the Navigation toolbar
#*order Reload-Stop will combine into one button
#*order Stop-Reload will remain separate buttons
#*or drag a "Separator" from the Customize window between Reload-Stop and they will remain separate
#click Done at bottom right of Customize window to finish

You have multiple old versions of Java Console installed that Java did not clean up when updating. Your old versions are: 6.0.16, 6.0.22<br />

I have increasing problems using Firefox to surf the net. I cannot install ANY Adobe product. I have no ability to see and hear ANY videos. Today I cannot access the Earthlink website, although I can on Internet Explorer.

I always get error message such as my plug-ins are disabled or I need the newer version of Adobe or Java programs. When I download and install them, they do not work and I get the same error messages.

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

My 2nd generation iPod touch won't turn on no matter what, the last time I turned it on the screen went blue and just completely shut down and it hasn't worked since December 2013, i have connected it to iTunes and did the thing with the home button.

Is their anything else I can try?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Logic Pro 9 - Recorded audio just silly with crackling, clicking noise

PLEASE!!! Read my entire post before commenting. I don't mean to sound rude but I've posted this in several other forums and it's obvious they hadn't read/understood my issue based on the comments they left, ie., suggesting everything I've already tried, saying to contact tech support and even asking what comp and DAW I'm using... I've been dealing with this issue for ~8 months
SPECS
I use 2 daisy-chained Firepods connected to a Mac Pro Quad-core running 10.6.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.3.
I get the results described below whether I'm trying to record at 24 or 16 bit and at either 44.1K or 48K.
Generally I record 12 tracks simultaneously AND I always use the same inputs for each instrument; ie., Vocals = track 11, guitar = track 2, bass = track 1, etc...*
PROBLEM
Although this is a sporadic issue it happens to occur WAY more than it doesn't; ie., very rarely do I get a recording session without the anomaly.
The issue is that after I have recorded a session and listen back to the recorded material there are random crackles, pops, clicks throughout. When I audition tracks individually, some may have no crackling and some will have crackling at different points in time and of varying intensity. Every session is different as well, no two sessions are the same. One day I may have a perfect vocal track and a guitar track that is just silly with the crackling. The next day the guitar track may be fine but now the vocal track is all messed up with crackling. Another confounding point is that the crackling does not occur during periods of silence.
I will add that each Firepod appears to function properly (with no issue) all by it's lonesome - but that doesn't help me, I need 12 inputs minimum!
Things I've Tried
1. All new FW cables
2. Disconnecting the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Turn on the Mac. Turn on both Firepods, master first. Connect the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Launch Logic.
3. Disconnecting the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Turn on the Mac. Launch Logic. Turn on both Firepods, master first. Connect the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac.
4. Tried every conceivable configuration of Audio Midi Setup.
5. Tried several other FW and USB audio interfaces, obtaining perfect results.
6. Been working with Apple tech support (both hardware and Logic support).
7. I've checked that both Firepods have the same firmware version.
8. Installed a fresh SATA HD with clean installs of both OS10.6.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.3 with fresh custom templates and no 3rd party plugins or loops.
9. Lots of praying, swearing and fits of anger.
Final Comments
First, I think that the chassis FW connectors on the firepods are absolute garbage (read, cheap, cheap, cheap) and are inferior to anything else I have encountered during my troubleshooting process.
Last, I will go ballistic if I hear one more Presonus rep say anything to the effect of, "Huh! Never heard of anyone else experiencing the symptoms you're describing..." Yes, I have spoken adnauseum with Presonus tech support with zero results.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Pancenter! I'll try to be brief. LOL
I had 4 perfect multi-track sessions and then the gremlin woke up and and cast his spell... Frustrating... The biggest difference I enjoyed using your suggestion was that when I launched Logic, loaded my template, enabled my tracks and hit record, the session started without a hitch. Prior to your suggestion, I would have to futz around with Logic audio prefs, AMS settings, turning the Firepods off/on, quitting/restarting Logic and/or shutting down/restarting my Mac Pro just to get the session to show my enabled tracks had activity. I would not know if the session would have the noise artifacts until playback. I should add that I never had this problem with my PPC G5 nor did I for the first 10 months of use with this Mac Pro. Also, with the help of Apple tech support we had eliminated Logic, 10.6.5 and the Mac Pro (except the FW800 bus) as probable causes. Again each Firepod and Logic work flawlessly when I use one unit not daisy-chained. So, I think there is no problem with the individual units, and, as I said, both units worked fine chained with my PPC Mac Pro.
So, I called Presonus. Again... And I get yet another tech who tells me something different; every time I speak with Presonus I get different suggestions. This guy asked what kind of cable I was using to connect the Firepods to the Mac Pro and I said I'm using a *firewire 9-pin to 6-pin cable*. So has asks well, is it *bilingual*? He said that would def fix my problem. I told him it is advertized as bilingual and that had not fixed the problem; he had no answer for that. Then, I broached the option of adding a firewire 400 card to my Mac Pro. He said I guess you could try that; get one with a TI chipset. That's where I'm at now, deciding which one to get and whether I will need to provide auxiliary power to the card's on-board molex plug.
Any ideas?
Oh, thanks for responding

Loud Popping Noise when wake from sleep

On my new iMac CD 20" there is a load popping noise that comes from the speakers when I wake it up from sleep. Also, the hard-drive or the super-drive clicks a few when waken from sleep. Yesterday there was a static noise coming from the speakers while I was using the machine on the web, it was load enough to be annoying, I restarted it and the sound went any. I am wondering if any others have noticed this problem and should I take it back for a new one.
My wife has even said that the sounds don't seem right.
Any feedback would be great!
Thanks.
20" Intel iMac and 12 P-book- 867 MHz Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I conducted some tests on my iMac, and the problem, as it were, is related to having external speakers connected to my iMac. When I unplug my external speakers (JBL Encounter), I do not hear the pop upon waking my iMac from sleep. When I plug the speakers in again, the pop returns. I do not hear the pop when I mute the speakers before putting the iMac to sleep, either.
To rule out other devices, I unplugged all external devices and then reconnected them one at a time. Only the speakers triggered the pop.
I don't think this is a defect necessarily, even though I never heard the popping sound when waking my iMac G5 from sleep (with the same set of speakers). I think it may, as I suggest above, have something to do with the change in processors.
I may call Apple just the same to see what its tech. support people have to say on the matter.
Do those others of you experiencing the popping sound also have external speakers?

Why can't I colour code my tracks / instruments in a Logic Pro Template?

Hi,
I'm trying to create my own Logic template using an existing example template I found online.
In this template, I want to be able to colour code all of my instruments / tracks so that each time I load my template, all the tracks will be set to specific colours (i.e. all kicks are dark blue, hats are light blue, synths are purple, bassline red, etc etc...)
I've read that you can do this in the mini view menu (View > Configure Track Header > then tick 'Track Colour Bars') then you just select the desired colours for each track, and when you use this template again all these colours will be set.
You can see the menu settings here ('Track Colour Bars' selected):
I've done this with no problems on a completely new project (see image A below) but when trying to do it on this template I downloaded, the colours are not changing (see image B below)
IMAGE A - Configure track header on a blank project
IMAGE B - Configure track header on a existing project template
Does anyone have any idea what might be overriding the colour settings on the template (IMAGE B)? As you can see, I have been able to colour the actual midi but it will not colour the actual track.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was having problems with this for a while. Logic Pro used to let you color they regions and the track at the same time. Now you have to color the track first then click, Option (Alt for PC keyboards) +Shift+C this changes the color of the regions on the track to the same color as the track. Hope this helps!

Why am I hearing a clicking noise in my headphones? I'm on the iMac and I'm going through logic pro x. i have a focusrite scarlett 2i2 and my mic is a blue spark. is it my presets? i just want the clicking/popping noise to go away
