Mackie Tracktion Help, No Recorded Signal Options

[jce44]

I did get the Mackie Onyx 1220. I love the mixer! But the firewire option and Tracktion???

I'm running OS X 10.3.9 on my Mac G4 and there must be a setup option or something in the software that I'm missing?

I can "see" the Onyx FW in both my System Profiler and I've set it up in my "Audi Midi Setup". (Although I must restart my Mac with the FW connection and mixer powered on).

I've read through the User Guides, (all 76+ pages), but I can't get a recorded signal during record.

All I've got connected is 2 Mics and a guitar in the mixer. Firewire connection is good. Live sound is good thru the mixer.

Is anyone out there familiar with Traction? Help me please

I have an Onyx 1220 & use Ableton Live. I don't remember how Tracktion's setup is but I'll clue you in on a couple of obstacles that I had. Typically to preserve CPU the sequencer/recorder software will have the incoming channels turned off. I had to go thru Ableton's preferences/audio setup & specify which incoming channels I wanted to be recognized. Then I had to specify thru my mixer pulldown menu what incoming mixer channels (that I had specified previously in preferences) I wanted available to record on each track. Does this help? Let me know if I need to be more specific.
