Logic Express Newbie And Urgent Question!, Problems with Logic Express Options

[Nubben]

Hi everyone,

I recently bought Logic Express having moved up from Audio Hijack Pro and GarageBand...and I have a slight problem on my hands...

I cannot get any sound from my speakers while playing sound in LE! What I am currently doing is converting some old vinyl records into AIFFs and have hooked up a turntable to Griffin's Powerwave through to my PB's USB port. I have tried other programs such as Audio Hijack and they can pick up the signal no problems. LE seems to record but I cannot alter the input level and when trying to play back the recorded vinyl there is no sound. I can bounce the track to AIFF and that plays fine in either the Finder or iTunes. Really weird.

LE recognises the Powerwave as input and I have seen the same in the Audio MIDI Setup panel.

I'm running MacOSX 10.3.8.

I would be extremely grateful if anyone's got some tips for a novice!

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Nubben

Thanks Riverdog, but it doesnt solve the problem sadly.

"I think you just need to go to the Audio page and select the checkbox for "Audio Input Monitoring"..."

I dont see this page anywhere? Everything looks connected properly.

"Check in there and see if your external interface is setup and selected as the primary output device..."

Yes to all that. But I cant hear anything at all from Logic. I think a properly installed Logic (thats what Logic says I did) and Tutorial should just play, without days of head scratching

I can see it looped and playing. I have tried every combination of audio a monkey could come up with, and no luck. Yet I can hear everything else off my computer no problem.

The 'Logic' escapse me
