Question

Logic Pro X audio track provides "No Input" when bluetooth headset's mic is selected in preferences

I'm trying to record audio in Logic Pro X from my bluetooth headset's microphone. After selecting the headset in Preferences > Audio > Devices, the audio track provides no input options. However, if I select Built-in Microphone in Preferences > Audio > Devices, the audio track provides Input 1 and Input 2 as selectable options, either of which enables my Mac's mic as the input.

Is there some reason Logic will not enable my bluetooth headset's mic as input for an audio track?

You cannot use the Bluetooth "Audio" as input in Logic with that kind of headsets. Yes, there is a reason. It is because these headsets mics are intended for voice interactive communications and then use a sampling rate unsupported by Logic.

Thank you so much for your answer, WD! I wouldn't have figured this out and was finding little useful information by searching the web.

Can you tell me if the same applies to simply recording audio into QuickTime while making a "New Audio Recording"? This would seem to be the case, as Quicktime ignores the signal from my bluetooth headset in favor of the mac's Built-in Microphone.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Jonathan

I remember users reporting it works with audio in QuickTime. I didn't test it.

It really depends on the application and the intended result. Doing video with audio low sample rates is an issue for example.

I don't say there are no workarounds or that the situation cannot change in the future.
