Why Can't I Hear My Dx7 On My Sequencers?, DX7: MIDI and Audio SETUP for Sequencers Options

Hello,

I've got the following equipments:
- an imac with Pro Tools Free and Logic AUdio running under OS 9.2.2,
-a Yamaha DX7,
- a Midisport UNO 1*1 Midi Interface
- OMS 2.3.8

The Midi IN/OUT are OK but the issue is that I can't hear the DX7 on the Mac eventhought I connected its audio output to the audio input of the Mac?

The audio output of the DX7 works perfectly when I connect it to my stereo so the problem must be related to the configuration of the sequencers (which is not so well explained in the manuals...).

Thank in advance for your help!

Bye,

John

the point levon is making is the fact that on older macs, the mic input expects a custom apple 1/8th inch jack that's a few millimetres longer than your standard 1/8th inch jacks.
obviously, if this were to be the problem, your connectors just wouldn't be long enough to make the connection.
if this isn't the problem, 2 things...
1. i have witnessed such poor signals that they don't appear to exist until the file has been normalised. you could check if this is the case, or...
2. seems too obvious, but have you selected the internal mic as the sound input in your sound control panel? formatj asked you this but i didn't see a response from you to this question.
ultimately, i think you could do worse than follow levon river's advice, get an imic from griffin technologies! they're extremely cheap, and, although not great, get the job done.
