Microphone issues with Logic Pro after updating to Sonoma

Set the Mac's "Mic Mode" to Standard. Click on the orange microphone icon in the main menu bar when Logic is active or look in the control center of the mac.

Hi everyone. I figured out the cause of my microphone issue. A little bit about the issue I was having: When I played back my voice recordings, it sounded like the recording was kind of skipping. I initially thought it was a latency issue but it wasn't. After ruling out microphone issues, pre-amp issues and playing with settings in logic pro, it turned out that the problem was my USB hub connecting my preamp to my computer (microphone uses an XLR cable and my MacBook Pro doesn't have any USB ports). If you're using a USB hub, make sure you try a different one. This one worked for me: Helix 6-in-1 USB-C to HDMI/USB-C/USB-A/LAN Hub (ETHHUB7)

Apparently it's possible that a macOS update can introduce in incompatibility issue with a USB hub, so that may be why people are noticing this issue after updating to Sonoma. Hope this helps!

It really does sound like the mic control center is the issue. You should try clicking it again to voice isolation back to standard. Also are you actually using the built in microphone as an input for logic? If not you might turn off microphone access to Logic in the MacOS Settings>privacy and security>Microphone.

When using an external mic through an audio interface, you have to turn this back on in order to record with the mic in logic. One thing I noticed is that it seems to respond better when the audio is set to the audio interface in both the OS sound settings and input settings in logic. Used to be able to leave the input as built in mic in OS sound settings and only need to change the audio input in logic. Anyone chime in if this is still the case.

Set you Mac's Mic Mode to Standard.

Use Mic Modes on your Mac - Apple Support

Two things come to mind:

1. Connection Issue.

Are you using a hub between soundcard and computer? If so, connect the soundcard directly to your computer. Try it also with another cable.

2.Authorization Issue.

Maybe you are using one or more plugins in demo/trial mode or a plugin is not properly authorized.

Solution to the issue :

Go to System/ Confidentiality & security / microphone / Logic Pro / turn it off

Logic will no longer use the microphone

Altmusic - I've tried this and what happens is Logic will not only turn off the internal mac microphone but it then stops recognizing the Audio Box I'm using for recording.

Apple Support - is anyone working on this issue? Logic has not been the same since Sonoma update. Logic needs to be able to separate and distinguish between an Audio Box used to connect condenser microphones and the internal Mac microphone on a laptop or desktop. Logic should only be using the audio box for recording. This is creating latency issues when trying to record with condenser microphones using an external audio box.

I am facing the same issue after the Sonoma update...have set mic mode to standard and also downgraded logic but the problem remains the same...not able to play or edit region as audio is stuttering and stopping continuously.

I thought I was having CPU issues, but it turns out it's a MACOS problem...But it's weird because it kind of activates and deactivates the mic while I'm playing a LOGIC X project and went it does it, it goes back to the beginning of the track without stopping or crashing...and it doesn't stop playing it...

We need a solution to this...yesterday...I use LOGIC X for my full time job...and this is not good...

Hey,

Apple microphone tend to start when working with Logic causes a midi/audio bad sync and glitches. Switching the mic mode doesn't help. It's stay on, or start whenever he wants.

Anyone has any solution to completely deactivate it ?

Mac Studio / Sonoma / Madiface Rme

Hi there. I'm also having this issue. My microphone worked perfectly fine when recording in Logic Pro until the Sonoma software update but now the recording skips. Tried another interface but same problem. I have tried everything I have come across in various forums and the suggestions I have found here. Has anyone found a solution yet? Is Apple working on this or what?

I have the same issue since updating to the newest version of Sonoma. I hope this is quickly addressed and an update released. Logic is useless as it stands as the microphone related glitches are driving me crazy.
