Recording TD-20x into Logic
This may be a very obvious fix but Im still experimenting with this recording stuff.
Im composing/recording some tracks in Logic 9 on a Mac Book Pro. As an interface im using an old MBox 2 that I got with my Pro Tools rig a while ago. It works fine. Ive recorded numerous intrument tracks etc etc/guitar tracks - you name it. Flawless.
Now Im doing the drums tracks using a TD-20x: I thought this would be dead dead simple; just take a stereo feed from the master outputs on the back of the module and plug them into the MBox like I have with everything else.
When i do this I can monitor the drums fine straight out of the Mbox no problem at all BUT as soon as I hit record enable or input monitoring in Logic all i get sound wise is loads of hissy/peaking noise. When I hit the drums sometimes the sounds come through but they sound distant, under a lot of strain and like theyre being processed through some heavy distortion/compression. Basically very unpleasant and wrong. I tried everything I can think of and no joy - same thing out of the module headphone socket. I tried bypassing the MBox and recorded using the line in on the MacBook - exactly the same problem and ditto when I tried using Garageband. The line input is fine as I plugged in my iPod and it recorded the feed fine. Its just this **** TD-20 feed it doesnt like...
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
