Setting Up A Mac Book Internal Soundcard In Logic Options

[kmeade2]

Hi

I have just bought a mac book and logic pro 7. For the moment while I am learning, I only want to use the internal soundcard. For some reason, I can play audio through the built in output but cannot record any audio from an external source such as my 1210's/mixer?

I've tried setting the input in the audio drivers section but it will only let me choose the built in output as a driver.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Kev

Strangely enough I had this exact same problem with a student 2 days ago.

Go to Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup. Click on the Audio Devices tab, and select Open Aggregate Device Editor from the Audio menu bar.

A dialogue box should open. Click the "+" sign to create a new aggregate device. A new box should open listing all available ins and outs from your machine. Assuming you're using the built-in Line Input and Line Output, click to tick both these and select "Okay", "Apply" or whatever.

Your Audio MIDI setup should now have a new aggregate device available for selection.

In Logic, go to the Audio > Audio Hardware and Drivers dialogue box and select this aggregate device. Logic will require a soft relaunch to start using this, but once this is done, you should have 2 inputs and 2 outputs available for your audio tracks.

Sorry if some our my terminology is a bit off, this is a 10.4 feature and I'm writing on a 10.3 machine with no Logic.

I hope this helps Kev!
