• Problems with the Firewire Audio Interfaces

  I use a Presonus Firebox for all of my recording and playback. I just bought a new pc HP with Vista64 and I had problems with my audio since then. Symptoms include random audio dropouts, crackling sounds when you scroll through the menus in my software, no noise at all from windows media, no windows generally sound player. Everything works sometimes, but inevitably fails. Once the audio is de-energized my only solution is to restart the computer, and then it still doesn't work sometimes. I don't understand. My last computer was a couple of years and built the hand. It worked perfectly with this unit until the motherboard is dead after what I bought my new HP desktop with terrible results. The main difference between my pc and this one is that I was using XP and XP64. However, I have the right drivers for the home and the computer recognizes it but I can't operate consistantly and correctly. This new HP has more power than my last, and more then enough power for my needs recording software. I would like to know, I've been recording music on PC for 8 years. Any advice would be welcome.

  I am now convinced that the long nightmare is finally over. I tested my home over and over again with no failures. Record and playback midi seem to work perfectly. Here's what I did:
  
  1 optimized my computer for audio streaming using the guide written by sweetwater.com.
  
  2 uninstall all the drivers from Presonus and all software, including the removal of all PreSonus files on the registry using the instructions provided by the technical support of PreSonus.
  
  3 disabled WLAN and then physically disconnected from the motherboard.
  
  4. my computer has two firewire ports. The front port was connected to the motherboard via a short cable. I physically unplugged the cable from the motherboard.
  
  5. I bought an Express(1x) PCI firewire 400 card with a Texas Instruments chipset. The exact brand is inner Pro PCI Express(1x) 4 port 1394 a. The firewire card is a power port. I plugged the power jack on the same line, connected to the DVD player. I don't know if it's important, but I'll try to document EXACTLY what I did. The firewire card requires no driver work. It came with a disc with a B.S. video editing software I was not installed.
  
  6. I turned on my computer and disabled the built-in firewire in Device Manager, leaving only the new active firewire card.
  
  7. I installed the drivers from the Firebox from the original disc supplied with my unit (v1.20.0). I had good results from these pilots in the past that may be because I use XPsp2.
  
  8. I have connected the combustion chamber when prompted to by the installation software.
  
  9. rebooted the computer with the combustion chamber connected and everything's fine.
  
  By the way:
  
  The inner firewire card cost me $ 30.00
  
  My computer specs are:
  HP a6745f desktop
  Dual core AMD 5050e 2.6 GHz
  XP sp2
  GigsRAM 4 (3.25 because I'm on XP)
  
  If you are confused in the store on the question of whether a firewire card uses a Texas Instruments chipset. Try to get a glance at the map. You should see a chip bearing the logo of TI: the State of Texas, w / Ti. YeeeeeeeHawwwww!

• Satellite L670-1HD - problem with audio interfaces USB 1.1

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba L670-1HD with an Intel HM55 chipset, and an Intel Core i5 460M processor. I use this machine for my music software and that's why I use different audio interfaces external and USB-MIDI-Controller with build in audio interface like Mixvibes U - Mix Control Pro (http://www.mixvibes.com/content/u-mix-control-pro). These built-in audio interface are connected via USB 1.1. Always when I use this audio interfaces interfaces crash audio internalt - the sound is cracked very hard and there are noises in. The controller of all crashes sometimes too.
  When I use another interface audio as an audio interface Hercules DJ Trim 4 & 6 (http://www.hercules.com/uk/DJ-Music/bdd/p/102/deejay-trim-4-6/), which is a USB 2.0, everything works fine. No crashes, no cracks and no noise.
  You could say now that there is no problem and I should stick to the Hercules interface if it does no problem. The problem is that the Hercules is an audio interface only, there is no controller in it with which I can control my music software.

  I've updated all the drivers from the support page of this site without success. Is there a solution available or the Toshiba knows this subject? Am I the only one having this problem?

  Would be nice if a Toshiba official support employer could respond to this message. But this does not mean that I don't want to read somethng submitted by the user for which an index - all Board/Council/recommendation is welcome.

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  See you soon,.

  Hello Stefan

  In my view, you see the problem from the wrong point of view.
  Toshiba and each laptop manufacturer offer product and hardware and software support. So if there is a general problem with the functionality of the material you are by Toshiba on the right address.

  You use a third party and that you have some problems. Do you really believe Toshiba should support you and help to get this external peripheral work? In my opinion not. On the market, there are thousands of different devices and laptop computer how of the manufacturer must be able to test each of them and offer a solution?
  Something like that is definitely not possible.

  In my opinion, you should communicate with Mixvibes and ask for help. They have the best experience with own product and I presume that they are testing the features on different PC/laptop platforms.
  They should know how the device should work on new laptops with USB 2.0.

  It seems silly now, but Toshiba has nothing to do with it. If you have a general problem with the USB ports and they don t work with different devices that Toshiba should ask for help.

• Audio interface Thunderbolt to crash Windows Boot Camp

  Hello, my audio interface crashes Windows Boot Camp on my MBP 15 "retina. It works very well on the side of the BONE. I've updated everything (including the drivers and firmware for the device). The audio interface is the MOTU 828 x. It is designed for use with Windows via TB - my concern is that this does not mean Boot Camp Windows

  When I turn on the device, Windows crashes immediately on a blue screen saying: "your PC has encountered a problem and needs to restart...» PNP_DETECTED_FATAL_ERROR ". I tried all combinations of plug etc. aside first turned off, turned on mac.

  Thanks for any help or ideas!

  Run a test and reset SMC and NVRAM.

• Update iOS 9.2 ceased to iPad Air working with audio interfaces

  ios9.2 was last updated stopped my ipad, being able to work with my a peak interface. Unbearable noise on the two input channels when recording in GarageBand or other audio program.

  no solution of the next Apple or apogee. Grid have released at least a positive tovthe update software (even if it doesn't at least they try)

  I thought the score using such a product locked as an iPad mean everything should work together... how wrong I was.

  All solutions?

  P

  I know how it feels, bro. It happens again and again because Apple focus only on build-in apps without looking professional applications and the needs of professionals. I remember how I had to write to the bracket of Novation, because their audio interface no longer works with versions of Mac OS X. After each update Apple OS, something no longer works and we need to find alternatives to the result. And that is a problem. You can simply downgrade OS X, but you can't do the same thing with iOS.

  You only have the ability to write at peak and wait for the update. Apple support is more useless than Microsoft - it does not at all

• Audition CC 2016 Record 2 microphones with the help of the audio interface

  I have two Audio Technica microphones running via an Audiobox USB interface, in my Macbook Pro (OS X El Capitan). Whenever I hit the record, I can never get mic 1 to work. How can I solve this problem and get the two microphones to record? I'm pretty new to this software and I found dated solutions which are not yet proven to be useful.

  Thank you.

  Well, it should be relatively simple.

  First, go to the menu Edition/Preferences/Audio Hardware.  Make sure that the Audiobox and its pilots are set for record and playback devices.  M-Audio interfaces so the exact wording will be a little different, but it should be fairly easy to identify the right device and I use a Windows machine.   Notice that under Windows my perhaps to go back to the Windows audio control and configure the Presonus as default device, so there is a chance that you might have to go to Core Audio and similar - this is normally not the case.

  Then, you're probably better of recording in multitrack display for each microphone can have its own channel.  Go to File/New/multitrack Session and fill in the details, you are prompted to specify a name, sample and depth etc. of bit rate.

  Then the bit important: on the multitrack display, there is a box at the left end of each track with things like level and Pan control and... important to you... the input switch.  It is a box and more a straight arrow.  Click on this and a drop-down menu, you can select Mono, stereo, or a few other options.   Select Mono and this, in turn, will give you a drop-down list with the available inputs.  Still, the exact wording will vary with interface you but you should find something like "Presonus Mic 1" or similar.   What to choose.

  Repeat the operation on track 2, but this time choose the second entry.

  Arming the two recording channels (the Red R in the same area at the left end of the track) and then when you hit the record on the transport controls, 1 Mic will be on track 1 and track 2 Mic 2.  Notes that, according to what you want to save, could have selected stereo and used two microphones that left and right in a piece... but I prefer to keep things separate and mixing down to stereo later - just a personal preference.

  Note that if you you save in this format much, you can save this configuration as a model of session to avoid having to define individual tracks every time.   Just set yourself up, then press file/export/Session model before recording anything.   You will then be offered your model on the new multitrack Session each time that you start a new project.

  I hope this helps.

• Should what audio interface I use for GarageBand

  I want to start recording music with garageband, and my first purchase will be an audio interface. I intend to record instruments directly through the interface like keyboards, synth, vocals and guitars and ukuleles. I do not plan to register at the same time, my plan is to record a track, mix using garageband or other instruments and singing and then save top I'm going. so having a lot of ports isn't too important but I'd like to at least two. I want just an audio interface that will be compatible with garageband and give me his professional quaility. My budget is $ 350 just for the interface.

  any help is appreciated thanks

  I use Focusrite Scarlett, paid $199 Guitar Center, works great!  I record music and professional audio books.  There are more expensive interfaces, but cela do the perfect job!

• Logic Pro does not recognize my audio interface

  Hi all

  I just bought the "Claret pre2 audio interface" (Thunderbolt) going to the thunderbolt port in my Mac pro. In system information, both devices show as connected. However in my audio preferences in 'pro Logic' his does not give me the option to select the audio interface, like its just do not appear at all. Someone has an idea of what might NOT be past - lack driver/s maybe? Thanks in advance

  Shane

  have you installed the driver and the control software, as shown below...

  If you do not have - do, restart, make sure you see the interface in the audio and Midi of the Mac - if you do - then it will appear in the logic.

• USB & Firewire audio interface ports still work as input and output?

  I guess everyone has to start somewhere, even if it is borne by almost everyone I would like to know the answer to my questions, perhaps with good reason, what I don't know is so if the USB ports unique connection and firewire on an audio interface function ALWAYS both as input AND output.  In other words, whenever I read the information about the product on audio interfaces, no matter where I go, it is generally accepted that most people buy their audio interface for RECORDING.  And so when most people talk about connecting their Apple computer, iMac or MacBook Pro, it is generally accepted, they turn to the USB as INPUT.  That's all very well and good.  But in my case, I want to use the USB port as output (not the taken mini) and go into an audio interface that gives me as a symmetric output signal that I can plug my amplified studio monitor (which has only a balanced XLR input). All of the examples I see with audio interfaces address registration and involve the use of the USB on the audio input interface.

  So my question is: can one USB port I see on any number of audio interfaces always function both of the inputs and outputs? It takes, but if so, why does any site mention this fact and whey didn't they show in all the diagrams of the audio interface manual hook to studio monitors?  I know what may be obvious to some, but as a user with the intention not to use a piano for a scene while but rather a keyboard/MIDI controller that is attached to the iMac to be able to use the virtual instrument software, I need to go to the controller to the iMac, then the iMac in symmetrical powered monitors. Do the balanced inputs of speakers requires more than a simple adapter to give the President a balanced input.  But nobody talks about audio interfaces usually unless they talk about as a way into the computer to record.  As for my situation? Why don't they include this example?  And why should they assume that novice will automatically KNOW that the usb port, an audio interface will work as an output as if they never EVER mention this example or Setup?  I guess it is to operate in both directions!  But really, I'm crazy to wonder when no one never speaks or shows this configuration? He suggested I buy something similar to a UR22MkII of Steinberg, who has a USB port. Even the Steinberg site speaks only records and so using the USB key as input for use with the recording software. There is no mention of its use out the mac in balanced speaker entries, even in the manual. In fact, it is question is always true for every audio interface manual that I watched, even by other manufacturers! Why they all assume a novice like me (whose money is just as good as money from the experienced user) KNOW that? It's frustrating!

  I know that this is not strictly a matter of logic, but I guess, in my view correctly, that a logic user community could be more appropriate to address my question for others communities. If I'm wrong, please help to re-send-the matter.  Thank you.

  Sound the interface itself that determines it can send and receive Audio or Midi... not the USB or FW port which both are devices of e/s...

  All USB and Midi peripheral FW are inputs and outputs

  All the USB and Audio FW are inputs and outputs...

  All devices USB or external hardware with a USB port... can handle Midi and Audio...  Some do... Most manipulate just Midi... or just Audio

  The Steinberg UR22MkII manages Audio and Midi...

  However, I do not recommend USB 2.0 audio devices... There are simply too many cases, problems and questions after the major updates for OS X with such devices especially when they are class compliant (IE without driver), even if the UR22MkII Steinberg is supposed to be compatible 10.11...

  View the other may vary... because it's just a personal opinion based on my past experiences both in my studio... and based on the many issues presented here and elsewhere.

  I'm sticking with Motu equipment for all my Audio devices... and I use iConnect devices for my Midi needs...

• Should what audio interface I buy for hearing CC?

  Hello

  I read a lot of these discussions, and you all seem very knowledgeable and willing to help noobs like me. I'm sure that you are tired of this issue because of the multitude of variables, but I'm looking to purchase an audio interface and I was wondering if you could offer some suggestions based on my needs, I'll try to describe in detail below.

  I just bought a Windows laptop, 10, with three USB 3.0 ports. I have Adobe Audition CC 2015 running on this issue, with errors [does not] does not happen when I click accidentally behind the multitrack to change the display too fast, or when I'm not wise in my use of the FX. What I can say, I'm learning!

  I intend to use Reaper to program the MIDI via USB cable directly tracks from a Roland TD11 and a Korg Triton Extreme to the laptop. I will then restore these files to WAVs in uncompressed and export it to the hearing.

  My typical workflow is solo titles layers, so I prefer to use the minimum amount of the strings and just spent the instruments, due to lack of space. I would like the ability to record at least 2 instruments at the same time however, in the case where the musicians invited stop. I don't plan to record live bands.

  These are the instruments that I use:

  -e-battery (it's possible I'll lines of audio recording in addition to MIDI tracks described above)

  -keyboard (same as e-battery, almost certainly will use as input line audio and MIDI)
  -Acoustic/electric guitar (I'll save variously in line or miked depending on what sounds better)
  -Acoustic/electric bass (line in most of the time, I guess)
  -lap steel guitar (line)
  -banjo, ukulele (mic)
  -singing (mic)
  -various percussion (mic) hand

  
  The only possible output I think I would need to interface is for helmets; I've lined up out of the laptop to a pair of speakers to test mixtures.

  In research on the interfaces, I stumbled on the MOTU UltraLite-mk3, which seems to take the load on the processor. Do you think it would be a good option?
  In fact I don't understand why you would need the 6 outputs however. They are all for monitors? I'm not clear on the difference between the level of the line, instrument, Hi-Z and these combined inch jacks XLR/quarter.

  Thank you for taking the time to read my it is true that the application of quicksand! I appreciate your expertise and advice that you care to offer.

  Best regards
  Sarah

  MOTU make excellent interfaces, as do other companies mentioned by SuiteSpot.

  The extra thought only I can offer is having only 2 microphone inputs would be a bare minimum and could become a limiting factor, if one of your guests musicians drop - you can, for example, records things like an acoustic stereo while something is happening.  I would consider putting additional money going MOTU would cost in an interface with 4 + mic.  Yet once, there is a certain choice.

  Or, for a direction totally different, since your goal is to have as many things as possible plugged in and ready to go, I heard yesterday on the new console Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK (Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK ) which would keep things hip as well set up headphone mixes and monitor mixes easy.

• Cut her Out during the reading-Sound Card / Audio Interface necessary?

  I am an artist of the voice with the following configuration:

  Sennheiser MKH 416 P48 U3 micro

  Yamaha HS80M reference monitors

  Mackie Onyx - i 1220 mixer

  Adobe Audition CS6

  Laptop Dell Inspiron 1720 (Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2 GHz, 32-bit)

  Until recently, I could hear everything I've recorded or pre-recorded elements without any problem.  However, now, that I listen to whatever it is, the sound "cuts" (latency issues?).  Counters on hearing is always in motion, but I'll take any sound out of my monitors.  I've upgraded to Windows 7, hoping and thinking that would solve the question, and that the hearing would play well with Windows 7.  This "solution" seemed to have helped, but in the end, it did not solve my problem.  At this point, I think this is my sound card.  My setup of studio quality seems to be too much for my rank of the consumer card.  Because my Mackie has an integrated interface, I didn't that I needed an interface.  However, I'm starting to question that.  Then, part of my question.  Is an audio interface necessary for me even if I have one in my Mackie?  If so, from what I list my system, someone at - it recommendations for interfaces?  If I do not need an interface, I would appreciate any suggestions or ideas as to what is causing the sound "cut" and how to solve.  Any help, thank you for that in advance!

  E

  Finally!  I wrote a response a few hours back, but the fine folks at Adobe took down the site just before I hit send!  Lucky I saved it elsewhere because the "recovered" post was just the first two paragraphs.

  Anyway, take 2.

  Well, first of all, your mixer Mackie Onyx has a firewire interface integrated so, indeed, becomes your sound card.  Your computer is not involved in the process of recording/playback at all (at least not unless you try to do something like monitor via the card from the computer rather than the mixing table).  Therefore, buy another card/audio interface will not help at all.

  Similarly, audio dropouts are not a latency problem, at least not directly.  Latency is the delay in the audio as it does go and return through you its interface (mixer) and computer.  It's more a problem for musicians trying to fight specific because they dub titles.  However, latency controls could have an impact on your problem of abandonment.  Control of latency in hearing is actually control the size of the buffer - and having a larger buffer (which increases latency) also allows reading more protection against glitches when your computer is busy doing something else.  Then... the first thing to try is latency/buffer size increase in the Edition/Preferences/Audio Hardware menu.

  Another thing to check is that you are using the latest drivers of Mackie - visit their site and download/install later if there are few available.  If there is a choice, go to rather than Ms. ASIO drivers if there is little available.

  Also, I mentioned having occupied with other things - for serious sound work stop everything else on your computer from the computer.  Pay special attention to the networking, wifi and anti-virus software, which are usually the priority to catch the processor in your sound work cycles.  Also, make sure that you stop all the system sounds.

  I hope that at least one of these suggestions works for you.
