jacek szulecki Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 When I try and run logic I get a high-pitched whine comming from my monitors and I really dont know whats causing it. The whine only occurs with logic (not G. Band) and doesn't occur when I run logic from my Macbook Pro. Its not very loud... but its there. From other forums Ive managed to learn (or deduce) that it might be because my cables are unbalanced (I wouldn't know an unbalanced cable from a lamp post:) If so why isn't the whine occurring when I run from my Macbook pro? Please help I'm running logic on a 2.4 imac with an m-audio fast track pro and esi near o5 experience emonitors ( trs connection) latest drivers (Apple and M-audio) installed.

David Nahmani Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 If you switch to built-in audio drivers (in your audio preferences) rather than use the M-Audio interface, does the noise go away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacek szulecki Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 David Thank you very much for taking the trouble to answer. if you mean changing to the built in audio drivers in audio preferences within logic then I'm going to have to ask you to talk me through how to do it. If you mean does the problem go away when I switch to the internal speakers in System Preferences then yes it does. What is totally baffling to me is the lack of noise when running Garage Band and playing music in itunes. One other thing. When I plug the interface into a USB hub (instead of directly into the computer) the noise becomes intermittent?! I would be grateful for your thoughts Jacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 It's about time you know how to switch devices inside Logic: Go to Audio Preferences in Logic, click on Devices menu and select built-in. If the noise goes away there's a problem with the interface's driver. Make sure you have the latest M-Audio driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacek szulecki Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 David Many thanks. The earliest I can try out your suggestion is Saturday. I'll let you know. Jacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orsanct Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Oh dear. This sounds like some irrational number that's come to a horrible — dare I say, Monty Python-esque — end: 3.14159 aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh. . .

jacek szulecki Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Ok if you want it phonetically , in english, the sound goes: peeeeeeeeeeeeeee. You know. Like your mummy used to say when you couldn't let it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orsanct Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Ah, got it! I thought it was an unfortunate brush with Euclidean geometry. (Nie mówię po polsku.) Which is shameful I guess since my family originates from near Poznań (Trzcianka). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacek szulecki Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 ...and you have a Polish font . That also counts in your favour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacek szulecki Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 David I tried out your suggestion. When I switch to in built the noise goes away. Problem is nothing comes out of the monitors. If this is a problem with the m-audio driver why am I the only one experiencing it? Surely there are hundreds of logic users out there using the fast track pro interface?

triplets Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Do you mean nothing comes out of the monitors that are plugged in to your interface? You won't hear anything if switching to built-in because your monitors are hooked up to the interface and not the computer. You should hear stuff coming through the internal speakers when switching to built-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacek szulecki Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Yeah I kind of thought that was it but the issue remains. (see my first post) Whats causing the high pitched noise? Its driving me crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
