Can not record into LogicPro?

[LogicProguy]

I have tried everything- I have usb cable to Mac mini- I have audio setting in Logic Preferences set to FM3 - and get nothing?? Most anything else all that is needed is just change audio input

I set Logic to 48K - still doesn't work. I have looked at many YouTube for FM3 setup - and nothing works. Why does this have to be so difficult???

How are you monitoring and running the output from the FM3?

I have an xlr to a mixer in my studio

I know most other multi efx I just set Logics audio input to the multi efx and thats all I have to do

Username does not check out.

So use have recording enabled on the track right?
Input 1-2 active.

 

[RifferMcDuck]

Make sure this is set to Input 1 for mono, Input 1-2 for stereo.

 

[LogicProguy]

Yes. Ive tried every stereo pair. 1-2. And 3-4. Nothing. For some reason Logic is not getting input from usb connection- and the FM3 editor works so usb cable is good

Also I set project to 48k as someone else mentioned

... and you have sound in the monitors?

And just to be sure, you have input/output set to FM3 in the Mac audio settings right?
And within Logic itself, you have the same?

Yes- I have input set to FM3 in Logic audio preferences

I am not monitoring with FM3 outputs- I am using my interface for studio monitoring- but input on Logic is set to FM3 for audio

Make sure that Logic has microphone permission in the system security settings. The sample rate doesn't matter.

Otherwise, you'll have to provide more details about what exactly you mean by "Nothing".

+1 to this. When plugging in the FM3 for the first time, you get one single chance at the prompt "allow [thing] to access microphone?". If you accidentally hit no or otherwise ignored the prompt, your Mac won't recognize it from that point on.

no biggie - just go settings and type 'microphone' - > click on the left side Allow apps to access.. and on the right side, enable Logic


here's how it looks on logic



and FM3

I had the same issue and it did turn out to be the USB cable. FM3 Edit worked but it wouldn’t pass audio. I swapped to a shorter cable and it worked after that.

Do you have your DAW set to external clock (the FM3)? Do you have the output block of the FM3 preset routing to USB and the level of the FM3 output turned up?
