Re: Multiface problems on Macbook

You need to install drivers for OS X from http://www.rme-audio.de/en_downloads.php

You'll need to get the intel drivers I think.

Install and reboot - you should be able to select the hammerfall device in logic audio preferences after that.

Re: Multiface problems on Macbook

back again, hi
I can record from external instrument but only using software instruments sounds from logic pro 8,
not from alesis banks, and everythings seems to be all right for a minute, then sounds stops
while i can see the sequencer continue to record events....!!??

RME its conected via hdspe expresscard 34 slot,
to a macbook pro, and via midi to external keyboard
thats all!!!
could it be so complicated to make it work?

any advise?
tks

You mean, you are trying to record from the QS8 without an audio cable to some of the Multiface audio inputs? It needs at least a connection from the QS8 main outputs (L/R) to two analog inputs of the Multiface (1/2) to get some sound from the QS8 synth into your sequencer.

Re: Multiface problems on Macbook

ok tks
i would like to know what is hdsp mixer all about,
i dont know how to configure that,
i do record from external keyboard, but cant get any keyboard sounds
nor while playing either recording or playing it back,
just software instruments from logic pro is all what i get,
it seems to be some atribution inside logic, il try to find out

but, then im trying to connect audio inputs (mic/line in) from
focusrite platinum octopre to hdsp  and
im completely out of this, dont know how to make it work
i did try connecting optical wire to spdif/adat, but no signal at all

tks again

Re: Multiface problems on Macbook

Please have a look on this beginners tutorial video for TotalMix. But as TotalMix by default routes the incoming signals to any software and outgoing signals from the audio software to the Multiface outputs it?s probably a cabling or Logic configuration error. When your OctoPre cable transmits ADAT to the Multiface you have to set the optical input to ADAT (not SPDIF).
