bebenavole Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I ve used ZOOM H2 in USB mode before with no problem. All of a sudden when I plug it into my lap Logic wont produce a sound. In the Logic prefs I chose H2 audio. The device is recognized and working. Still no damn audio. I go to the Mac Sys pref and the H2 input is recognized also but no audio. Also the imported audio in the current project wont play. Not until I change the Logic pref input to Built in mic. What the hell is happening here? thanx a.

David Nahmani Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Are you monitoring through the Zoom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebenavole Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 no because its not possible even if i record something i have no output in logic also the inserted audio track 1 i am trying to record to ...the solo button has a red stripe over it. A month ago this setup worked perfectly. I am pissed beyond words because i was in the zone for recording and now this problem hahahaha,fuckin hell. What gives?

David Nahmani Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 no because its not possible Why not? Doesn't it have a headphone out? even if i record something i have no output in logic What do you mean by no output in Logic: no signal on the Stereo Out channel strip meters? Or no sound? If the Zoom H2 is the selected audio device in Logic's preferences and you're not monitoring through it, you obviously won't hear anything... also the inserted audio track 1 i am trying to record to ...the solo button has a red stripe over it. Shouldn't be a problem, but that's 'solo safe'. You can toggle it by control-clicking the solo button. A month ago this setup worked perfectly. How are you monitoring, though?

bebenavole Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Its supposed to monitor from the headphones output or the laptop speakers. There is visual indication that something is playing on the stereo outs and the imported audio track but no sound last time i used the H2 i just plugged it in and everything worked from the go.

bebenavole Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 when you open new channel strip you wanna record thru it usually offer either input 1 or 2 or both for a single stereo track. Now theres only Input 1-2 stereo jeeez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Its supposed to monitor from the headphones output or the laptop speakers. Not if the device selected in Logic's audio preferences is the Zoom h2. You'd have to select the built-in audio output to hear anything through the built-in speakers or headphone out of your laptop. You could use an aggregate audio device to aggregate the Zoom input and the built-in output: How to combine multiple audio interfaces by creating an aggregate device on Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now theres only Input 1-2 stereojeeez Your channel strip only offers stereo inputs because it's a stereo channel strip. Switch it to a mono one (with the format button below the meter) and you'll have access to mono inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebenavole Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 done still not working/no audio from logic I am tellin ya last time i didnt have to configure anything at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 last time i didnt have to configure anything at all Well considering Logic 8 only supports a single device for both input and output, you can't use one device for input and another device for output without configuring anything at all. In Logic 9 this would work since Logic 9 supports different devices for input and output. Can you post a screenshot of your aggregate audio device?

David Nahmani Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 OK if all you want to do is drag and drop a recording onto a Logic session, then hear it through your built-in speaker, then the Logic audio pref should be set to "built-in".

Jordi Torres Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Your aggregate device has zero ins and zero outs. Check the boxes in the Use column? J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebenavole Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 OK 1st of all thanx for your effort, thank you so much. 2nd...It was really late last night and I couldt get my head around the whole issue. 3rd...and most important of all. What happens is ,Logic recognizes the H2 but then you have to monitor the whole thing through the H2 device. Meaning headphones output. Thats what I overlooked. So for future and current users: Plugin your ZOOM H2 via USB open your Logic project Use the H2 headphones out for monitoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 You can monitor through Logic and your laptop's speakers/ headphones out and use the H2 for input: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I overlooked. I hope you do realize that's what I've been trying to explain to you since the beginning of this thread? It seems you're getting frustrated pretty quickly and jumping to (wrong) conclusions on your own rather than listening to what I (and Jordito) have been trying to tell you. I would suggest a Grande Espresso, a deep, deep breath, and some quiet reading time. All the info you're looking for is already in this thread!

bebenavole Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 True true BUT! Here I sit trying to begin another session and I have a problem again I am much more calm this time BTW hehehehe. Device , being H@, recognized...no problem. I have output sound thru the H2 (monitoring )but I get no input signal in Logic. Is there a sequence I have to apply when starting logic then zoom? I am completely confused now.... Why no input altho the H2 inputs are recognized byLogic? thanx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I am much more calm this time BTW hehehehe. Good! Sooo... what is currently selected in Logic's audio preferences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
