No record enable after Soundflower install

Apr 18th, 2011, 03:45

After installing Sounflower, I canot record enable audio tracks on any Logic session old or. I tried running the uninstall script and turning it off but no change. Anyone with the same problem? I have the Apogee Ensemble and checked out Maestro settings which have not changed.

Hi llear, In Logic's Pref's > Audio > Devices which audio device are you using? Which version of Logic 9 are you running (32-bit / 64-bit)? Thanks R

Thanks for getting back to me. I am running Log 9.1.3 32-bit. It looks like when I was setting up Soundflower it took over Logics IO input setting to my Apogee Ensemble, so when I would launch a session Logic had no IO input assigned. I hope this will help anyone with same problem. Has anyone used Soundflower and Logic with iChat or Skype? If so I could I use some help with setup. Thanks in advance. Llear

Hi llear, Thanks for sharing the issue and solution. I used SF and Logic and Skype a year or so back. What do you need help with? Thanks R

Thanks. I was trying to share the same Logic session with my friend in NYC W/16bit audio. I use iChat to run his session while he records. I also play back the mixes from my side and would like him to hear 16bit audio. We both have the same setup. MBP, Logic, Apogee. Thanks in advance. -Llear

So you want to record over Skype into the project on your friend's Mac? I wouldn't recommend it. Also, the quality of the recording won't be anywhere near 16 bit I believe. The audio quality over skype/iChat will depend on the bandwidth and quality of the Skype connection - which is compressed and probably not nearly as good as MP3. Rounik

Thank you. I was not clear. No recording just auditioning the project through Skype or iChat in 16bit audio. Maybe this is not possible. Thanks. --Llear

I think there are plugins/systems out there designed to do what you want. I'll see if I can find what I;'m thinking of... I vaguely remember the name of said plugin containing the word "glass". I could be imagining things though! The audio connection over Skype is designed for voice calls and not for pro audio - so I doubt it's even stereo let alone 16 bit quality. :)

Thank you. Maybe iChat is the way to go which is fine as my friend has the same setup as I. Let me know or send me a link if you find it. I will reaserch. Thanks. --Llear
