I am using an MBOX#1 with logic express 7.
When I enable record on an audio track, I get WHITE NOISE and my meter lights all the way up to 0.0db.

I have updated my firmware for MBOX.

I used setup assistance and Everything seemed correct.

I made sure my buffer size and sample rate on LOGIC and CORE AUDIO for MBOX were Matching.

My MBOX works fine with my PROTOOLS, REASON, LIVE and AUDACITY..........................

I have even uninstalled then re installed both PROTOOLS and LOGIC EXPRESS...............

What am I not doing correct.................

I am completely out of options........................

PLEASE HELP

Try using the USB slot ON your PC or MAC directly. (Not the one in a hub...)

Hi,

Are you sure that Logic and the MBOX 1 are compatible?
I'm not a user of any of those two products but what you describe tends to make me think of something like that.
Your version of Logic may not support an "old" Digidesign hardware.
Of course, you already checked the Logic and Digidesign websites...

About hte white noise, wouldn't there be also an issue with the clock (external or internal, slave or master, host or terminal)?

When re installing, did you "easy install" or custom install"?
There may be missing drivers in case of a custom install.

Just a few ideas, just in case.
Regards,

I am having exactly the same problem as orig.

I have a new Intel Mac Mini, upgraded to the Intel versions of Logic Pro and Pro Tools - also using Peak. In Pro Tools, the sound from the original MBox is fine. When I launch Logic or Peak, I get white noise. I did have the MBox plugged into a powered USB hub, and moved it to hook into the Mac directly. I still have the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

Many Thanks.

Have you downloaded the UB version of the core audio driver from digi's site?

I just purchased the latest version of the Intel version of ProTools 7.1.1 three days ago. I downloaded it directly from their site and naively thought it would be the very latest version. After digging around the Digidesign site I found a 7.1.1cs2 update. It fixed the problem!

gdoubleyou, thanks for making the suggestion to look for a new USB driver.

All the best!

Have come across the same problem with Logic and the original MBox: Digital noise when I record-enable a track in Logic. Read this thread, felt very enlightened and updated ProTools to 7.1.1cs2 for Intel Macs (after re-installing Pro Tools from scratch). On Digidesign's webpage it said the update fixes the noise issue. The outcome: The dirty digital noise I was getting is gone, replaced by clean, white noise. But I am still not recording anything. Any ideas?

Hi: I was having that kind of noise too, but with a M-Audio interface (410). Those are relatives.
I guess it is a matter of driver incomptibilities, or maybe some "permission madness", which I
found very weird, but it came with OSX and the like.... (verify that...)
You can also try to set your buffer to a minor value, so your CPU won´t have to "think" that much...?
As usual, it is a labor of love, patience, and a lot of coffee....Good Luck...

P.D. Hey ! I am not an expert, just sharing experiences....
