jazzyrayray Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Had an unusual and frustrating problem today with my Presonus Firepod (now known as FP10) that has never happened before; here's the weird lowdown: 1) I've used this Firepod for at least a year now, have done several major projects using it, etc...had no problems ever. 2) Using Logic Pro 7 3) Plugged a condenser mic into input 1, tried 2, 3, etc. Phantom power on, input gain cranked... 4) Hearing sound through monitors from the mic; metronome, Apple Loops, etc. everything is playing through the monitors, but no signal showing in the channel strip in Logic!?!? 5) Track is record enabled (like I've done hundreds of times)... And the input on the Logic track mixer is set to match the input from the Firepod... 6) As far as hardware drivers, it is set for the Firepod, Core Audio enabled, etc. 6) Have never had this happen!! Was so embarrassed with a new client over today. At a loss...like I said, I have done this hundreds of times, so I don't know if some setting in Logic just freaked out and I can't find it, something wrong with the Presonus (which doesn' t make sense since I CAN HEAR THE SOUND! 7) If I crank the gain on the Presonus, the clipping light comes on, so it's "inputting", and the sound is coming through the monitor... Anyone? thoughts? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagal Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I had a FirePod before getting the Duet and had this issue happen to me a lot. If I remember correctly it has to do with the Mix knob over by the headphone jack. I cant remember which way to turn it but one way you are hearing just what is inputed into the FirePod the other way what is actually coming out of the computer. Not sure if that is your problem or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyrayray Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Yeah, that's the weird thing too...the mix knob is up, and by all appearances the Firepod seems like it's doing it's job. I had a friend singing into the mic, and I could hear it clear as day in the monitors, but it didn't record any signal in Logic...I've tried restarting my computer, but I may try that again and see what happens...

shivermetimbers Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edit) That model does not have the software mixer I think you still have to highlight and record arm the track you are recording to. If it were the firewire cable, you would have a pop up message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
