Q: Mac not recognizing mixer/Audio interface

HELP   HELP    HELP

 

All you home recording studio enthusiast out there I really need some help, the sooner the better as I have a session tomorrow.  here is my issue.  I can’t record an audio (vocal) track.  Here is my gear, DAW: Reason 8, Mac running Yosemite (version 10.10), mixer: Behringer 1204 USB (with built audio interface).  I’ve also tried the following stand alone audio interfaces, TASCAM US 100 and M-Audio Fast track Pro.  Key board Axiom 25.  I gone into preferences and selected USB Audio CODEC for both output and input on the MAC, did the same under reason preference audio tab.  when I create a audio track in Reason, in the audio input section I see “No audio input”.  When I select the drop down menu there is a section for Mono input and Stereo for me to check this is followed by a grayed out section that states “No audio input available, please check your sound card settings.

 

The other funny thing is when I use Garage Band, I have no issues recording.  I just recorded in garage band using the Behringer 1204.  Am I missing some simple setting somewhere,missing a channel routing.  I need any help anyone can give me.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    I have pretty much the same issue.  Running Reason 7.1 with Yosemite on my macbook (late 2013).  I don't have any audio interfaces, so I am using the internal sound card. When I try to record an audio track I have the same problem with 'no Audio input' being available. 

    I know that I used to be able to record audio like this - maybe it was back on Mavericks though.

    audio input is detected in other applications - so maybe it is a Yosemite-Reason compatibility issue?

    Me too!

    Almost the same as Rharrell - Reason 8, Mac running Yosemite (version 10.10.3), irig pro audio interface (I pick up my Apogee Duet this week but I think i'll have the same problem). No audio inputs available, please check your sound card settings.

    Can anybody help please.

    My son had this problem (or at least encountered something similar). He said "I am a guitarist recording on Reason 8. I searched the Reason web pages, and I was able to fix my issue. The way I learned was to go under the Audio MIDI Preferences application on my MAC. Then I needed to create an Aggregate Device by clicking the "+" button in the bottom right hand corner of the window. Then I selected the USB Audio CODEC as the the preferred input and output for this Aggregate Device during the creation. I had to restart my MAC after I did this to let my DAW recognize the new device. After this, I opened the preferences for my DAW and selected the Aggregate Device instead of the USB Audio CODEC as my interface."  It worked for him. I hope this helps.

    I have this problem too. PLEASE HELP if you can. Yosemite 10.4.4 No audio input showing up on reason 8. It used to work. Im sure I haven't uprgaded OSX since I last recorded. Audio input shows up in Garageband and other UIs. Is it a Mac thing or a Reason thing? Is there a fix ? please help?
