Topic: fireface 800 input problem?? or is it logic pro's fault?

hello guys~~ i am very new to RME product so i dont know if i've done anything wrong during set up

But the LED lights on the FF 800 looks fine and the volume meter in my FF 800 setting seems to pick up the signal from my mic

but...after i open logic...and set the input device to fireface 800, nothing happens..

when i try to record something..no audio signal was picked up by logic pro.

my Mac seems to pick up my audio signal too.

can you guys please tell me what is going on here?? why cant my logic pro pick up my fireface 800's signal??

many thx~~~

You see the input signal in the Fireface mixer (TotalMix) and choose this channel as source for the record track in Logic? If correct you should see the meters in Logic also moving.

hi Knut~~ thank you for the response~
so when you say totalmix, do you mean the fireface mixer? or totalmix

coz in my mac..there are the 2 different program here....and my Totalmix is not responding so...maybe the problem comes from over there~

TotalMix = Fireface mixer.

Don't forget to install the latest drivers and firmware for the Fireface 800 from the website - don't use the ones from the CD.

I see. This not responding "TotalMix" is not for the Fireface 800. It's for the Fireface UFX. The Fireface mixer is the Fireface 800 TotalMix. You can delete the other TotalMix app.

Do you see the meters in the correct Fireface mixer when you play a signal?

It works. Just choose the correct input channel in Logic to record this signal. You should see the meters in the Logic track moving if your mic channel is assigned to this track.

If not please post a screenshot of the Logic audio settings and the Logic mixer.
