Hello all, While I did not find my answer in old threads, the attention given to rose questions made me optimistic about getting help. I purchased 3 logic tutorials, starting with 101. I have a new Macbook pro and am brand new to logic. When I try to use my audio interface( Tascam US122), I almost immediately get an error stating there was a problem syncing the audio and midi. It also gives me a weird sample rate number like 37,000. I downloaded the latest driver from tascam, tried different options in preferences like disabling, software monitoring, selecting tascam 122 as interface, switching down to 16 bit, you name it. I have experimented with software instruments and had fun, but am ready to start audio. Any help resolving this is greatly appreciated. Wish you guys had a certification class coming near Memphis by the way Thanks

Thanks for the uncanningly quick response. I was looking for the sample info for the tascam last night, but was looking for it in applications< tascam, not utilities. I will try this today. I knew how to adjust the sample rate(thanks to the great tutorial) but did not know where to find my interface's rate to match it. I will let you know if this does it. Thanks

Did check the sample rate of each. Both are 44.100 kHz. Did just now select tascam 122 as default audio in and out under audio midi setup. Now it doesn't give an error, but only plays a second or two of sound with long gaps inbetween.

Scratch that. Still getting the error message.

Ok here goes. I am simply trying to listen to playback through my audio interface. I have tried this with a few audio tracks and one software track, as well as a new project. In a new project the metronome is intermittent and then it crashes and I get the error message. In a project with tracks, the audio is intermittent. The I/O buffer is 256 and I am not using any third part plug ins. When I use the built in audio, it works fine, except I can't use my live mics. I downloaded the proper driver and didn't have this problem on a pc with cubase, ( I still think logic is better, I'm just not mac or logic savy yet. Feel kinda stuck. I'm probably missing something basic but you got me

Hi John, I will look that info up as soon as I am home shortly, although this might help. It's the new 15" MacBook Pro middle choice. The one that comes with 4G of ram. It is only one week old. I will double check Logic when I get home. I know it's 8. Just dont know if its 8.something. How do I check the ports? Thanks for the reply

I just posted a long reply and it got lost. The version is 8.0.2 and under utilities< audio midi setup< midi devices the port only says tascam us122. Midi in:1 midi out:2 Sorry about this neverending thread. Thanks, Eddie

Sorry I forgot to mention I did restart and tried another USB port. No dice Thanks for not giving up on me yet

Hey Rounik, Just wondering if you came up with anything else. I took my macbook pro to an audio guy that is familiar with logic and midi. He was stumped too. His only guess is the interface. We redownloaded the current driver for it off of tascam's site. I hate to give up on it though cause I just used it on a pc with cubase! Last ditch effort, When I plugged in the interface for the very first time Logic did not recognize it. It therefore asked me if I wanted to choose from their preloaded drivers. I searched and even found tascam drivers. They just didn't have the US122. They started with the 448 model and so on. Question: How do I get back to that list if I just wanted to see what is already loaded on here? And... Is there a chance it just isn't in the right place? If you plug in your interface mid-session does it give you the same message I get? ( Logic is scanning your computer for devices abd has found Tacam US122. Do you wish to continue) I know I can choose Tascam US122 in the device drag down in Global

Thanks for the reply j, I just did try deleting the preferences folder and using the interface in Garageband. Same problem in garageband. Still open for more ideas though. Thanks all
