epyon72 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hey guys, I'm new to Logic. Just bought a Blue Snowball USB mic, it is detected and recognized by Logic. Now what do I have to do to start ... recording? I've got Logic Express 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Press record? Seriously, your question is way too vague. Did you read the "Getting Started"? Do you know how to use a D.A.W.? Did you try the obvious steps (rec-arm the track, press record) and is that not working for you? Why not? What's wrong? Etc etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epyon72 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 well like, I've figured out how to record using midi instruments... Select the midi tracks, input --> select instrument --> hit record --> start playing But when I select the audio tracks and press record, it tells me "No audio track is enabled for recording." I guess what I'm trying to do is turn this audio track into the mic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 And is the audio track... hum... enabled for recording? Meaning the 'R' button on the track has to be red (click it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epyon72 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 When I select Audio 1 and the channel set to "Track 1", the R button isn't there. But when I change the channel to something else, for example "Output-1" the R button appears. But when I hit the R button it starts bouncing... What am I doing wrong?

epyon72 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 And under Track 1, when I go and select "input" there's nothing there.. it just says "No Input" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Go to Audio > Audio Hardware and Drivers and make sure the mic is selected in the driver menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epyon72 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 it is indeed selected: Driver: Blue Snowball I/O Buffer Size: 512 Recording Delay: 0 Max number of Audio Tracks: 32 Larger Disk Buffer: unchecked 24 Bit Recording: checked Software Monitoring: checked and I know the mic is working, as it works w/ garage band's default settings. The input in garageband is set as "channel 1 & 2" but just when i go over to select the input for audio track in logic, all i see is "no input" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epyon72 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hmm let's try this .... If i want to just use my built-in mic, how would i access that in Logic? Like the steps to enable it and get it to record ... maybe from there i can get the usb mic to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 You would choose "built-in mic" in your Audio > Audio Hardware and Drivers. If you click the input, do you get a menu? Can you see "Input 1", "Input 2", etc...? What about when you switch to "built-in mic"? And does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epyon72 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Nope, when I select input from the menu on the left, it just says "no input." I only get a menu when I select the instrument tracks. Is there a way to add and then see the usb or the built-in mic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epyon72 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 ok, i think i've got a little further. Now when i click on I/O i see Input 1 and Input 2, and also a Bus menu. I could also get the original built-in mic to work. What settings do I need to change in order to get the usb mic to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
