Blue Snowball USB microphone

Blue Snowball--great microphone--except it does not read in Logic 8. I've set up preferences on my G4 and it reads, i.e., shows up as an external device. This does not happen in Logic 8. I've tried **** near everything. When I create a new audio track, it doesn't show up. Works in Garage Band however. I've poured over the Logic 8 manual (page 273) and it says it should just plug and play. No luck. Any ideas from a Snowball user with Logic 8 would be greatly appreciated.

Dual Power PC G4, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Did you follow the mic's manual instructions?

Macintosh Setup Procedure:

1. In system OSX: in the Apple menu, open SYSTEM PREFERENCES.
2. Double-click the SOUND preference file.
3. Click on the INPUT tab.
4. Double click BLUE USB BALL MIC under CHOOSE A DEVICE FOR SOUND INPUT dialog box.
5. Set input volume to the appropriate level. The mic is sensitive and may require a very low volume setting.
6. Exit SYSTEM PREFERENCES.


And what about an aggregate device? Other USB mics makers says to act in this way....

cheers
