Hello, I am a new user of Logic Pro 9. I switched to Mac after giving up on Windows system computers during my midi-audio work. With the good old Nuendo 3, I managed to achieve good results, but with the use of various plugins (almost all of those from IK multimedia, and others), Reason, and some other Native VSTs, in the end, even the most powerful PCs threw in the towel before I was satisfied. Obviously, many of my favorite instruments did not run on Win7, so I was forced to use WinXP, which was already limiting in itself. So, I switched to Mac and Logic Pro 9 and I must say that the world is completely different and attractive. From the old programs, I have only kept Reason 4.

I have a MOTU MkII audio interface connected via USB (it doesn't have a firewire port), but it works just as well. My question is as follows:

- The input signal is very low; in order to get enough of it, I am forced to crank up the microphone input sensitivity to the max, which obviously brings back all the environmental issues.

In the system preferences on Mac, it says that the card has no input controls.

Could it depend on the fact that I am using an ADAT?

Is there a way to resolve this issue?

I have an iMac early 2008 dual core with 4 GB of memory.

Greetings to all

Hello and welcome,

Regarding the ADAT, I don't think that is the problem... It seems strange to me. But saying what it might or might not be via a forum is difficult.

I would perform the following routine checks.

1) Verify that you have installed your MOTU MKII (excellent card, though it's a pity it isn't FireWire) with the latest updated drivers.

2) Verify by clicking on the preferences button (as in the figures) that the MOTU inputs are correctly set up.

3) Try not to use ADAT.
