DienekeS Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hello, I have a Presonus Firebox firewire interface, a MacBook Pro and a problem. Here is the issue; - When I play my instrument, I can hear it from the monitors. Monitor direction works more then fine. - I set up the Firebox as default audio device and tested it with a movie file and the outputs work fine. Shortly, I don't think that I have a hardware problem. - When I play, Logic does not get a signal from the inputs of the interface. I tested the outputs with the metronome of Logic and I heard that so Logic uses outputs of the interface fine. - There is no signal on the Input of the mixer of Logic while there is sound on the monitors. - When I add a new channel in the mixer of Logic, I get a really low signal from my instrument. It's so low that I cannot see any sound waves in the recording graph. I searched a lot of forums and tutorials about this but I still have the issue. Any ideas? Thanks.

Does your Firebox have some sort of external mixer program where the inputs could be muted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Does Presonus come with mixer and monitoring software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny333 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 your logic is outputing sound fine or you would not hear the click...you must not have the instrument pluged into a logic track correctly....how come you can hear it? what input is it going in ? got a track with that input selected ..in record or input? turned it up...with its outputs correct?

DienekeS Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Yes, I have a mixer and a monitoring software that came with Firebox. And I'm sure that the channels are not muted. And I'm quite sure that I plugged everything right too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DienekeS Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 try looking in logics audio preferences to see what its looking at...ie does it think you have pro tools? core audio etc...I can see that Logic uses Firebox as the audio device in the preferences. By the way, my device uses Core Audio as audio driver, there is not a driver that came with the package for Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiny333 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 well then u must have the track set wrong or you might try turning it all off and then on again sometimes it misses things on startup if you turned it on after or something..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DienekeS Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 I tried that already, restarted the computer for several times and the result is same. I think I selected the right input. Actually, I tried with all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shivermetimbers Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 A software router/mixer is also included for further flexibility and power. You should have the Presonus software that has a mixer/ router screen. I think this is where you problem will be. Click on your presonus icon and the mixer screen should appear. Set the input and out put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DienekeS Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 I looked to everything again but still have the issue. I took a screenshot of mixer that shows the problem; http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r264/Dienekes9461/Logic.jpg As you can see, Audio 1 and Aux 1 has the same inputs, there is no signal in Audio 1 and there is a low signal in Aux 1.

triplets Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Why do you have your audio input in stereo, 3 and 4? Are you recording a stereo signal? If you want to record a guitar you have to use only 1 input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
