Logic Express/Mackie Onyx 1620 PROBLEMS!
Im a newb so go easy!
I have my macbook connected to the Onyx 1620 desk with a firewire cable. Im getting a good signal in from the desk to Logic. With a guitar in the desks Channel 1 i am getting a signal in Logics Channel 1. So all good there.
None of the desks channel faders or main mix fader effects the signal in any way, no matter how much you move them. This might be normal as the mic pres line out is pre-everything on the desk so you get a pure signal to your DAW.
BUT - no matter how much i move Logics fader it seems to not have any effect on the incoming signal at all. When i move the logic channel 1 fader up and down it changes the volume of the guitar i hear in my headphones, but looking at the meter bridge on logic it seems to still be getting a full signal from the guitar, even if the fader is down fully!
Why is this? I seem to have no control what so ever over the levels of anything i am recording?! The only thing that seems to effect the signal on logic is by tweaking the Gain pot on the desk.
Maybe i have configured my system wrong? The only changes i made is that under Applications i went to Ulitilities and into Audio MIDI Setup. Under Audio Devices i changed Default Input, Default Output and System Output all to Onyx Firewire. Under Logic Preferences i changed the Audio Driver to Onyx Firewire.
Please help me out im so confused! Thank you so much for all your time if you read all this!
