Hello,
I have the following problem using LogicAudio5 and an Audiosport Quattro USB Interface on a G4 Mac (OS9.2.2): After starting LogicAudio the Asio driver cannot be detected, allthough it´s in its place in the Emagic ASIO Folder. I tried several re-installations using the newest driver available, still it won´t work. I have output over the interface using itunes, but not with a LogicAudio demo song. Any ideas what´s wrong?

In the Hardware and drivers panel of the Demo song, check that the ASIO driver for your quattro is selected and configured. Resave the demo song with changes made as each time you open it, it looks for the driver system (direct I/0, ASIO, soundmanager etc.) that it was created with. The hardware setup is not universal to your system, but unique for each logic project. I'm assuming that you were not the creator of this demo song in the above? Hope this helps

actually, this combination (Audiosport Quattro and LogicAudio) was recommendet by the guy working in the music shop, who had no problems with it. Anyway, he does not have any idea, either.

It would appear the audiosport is not supported by Logic. The audiosport appears to be a rather obscure interface...I've never heard of it, and it may be best to go with something that you know has been tried & tested with Logic, such as M-Audio, Edirol, Emagic EMI/26, the MOTU range, Swissonics, Apogee etc...(getting a bit expensive now)
Good luck; also, one small thing...did you select the ASIO SUB DRIVER (the rectangular box to the right of the ASIO tick box in Logic's audio driver's window? The audiosport may have never been initiated if you were not aware of this extra box within which to select your audiosport's driver.) -------------------- Nobody can take from you what you give freely.

yes thats a good point.
Do check you have done as Teiwaz suggests -it's a commonly overlooked cause of early frustrations.Failing that, if you have a spare drive and can get a copy of 9.1 OS, maybe try running that. Some companies (cough!!!-tools) have been known to overlook or been slow to respond to incremental Os upgrades with suitable drivers. Particlarly if it's not their latest flavour of the month. Do you have the same OS and computer as the chap in the shop? First lets eliminate the chance its this, then think about possible conflicts with the software. |

 thanks for your replies. My solution: i brought the audiosport back to the shop and got myself the new emagic 6/2 (it´s a bit cheaper, actually) Everything´s fine now. Looked like a hardware/software problem... DNArtist

Forgive me but this is a request for similar advice, not so much a reply.
My problem - I am buying a new ibook and need an audio interface with multiple outs. Can't afford firewire so am looking at the Quattro or the EMI 2/6. I will be using OS9.2 or similar for music and Cubase VST 5.1 as this is the system I teach on in college. The ibook will be for recording, producing and performing live with the multiple outs to permit me to use effects like my Alesis AirFX etc via a small mixer. I'll also be using the interface to record audio though probably no more than 2 channels at once. In addition, I need MIDI i/o so the quattro is rather appealling as a complete solution. I do know however that the midisport 2x2 doesn't work with an ibook running OS9.2 and Cubase VST 5.0 so I'm concerned about Midiman products though I still use an M-Audio Delta 44 with a 9500 with great results! I've tried to search the archives for relevant info but I'm still in a quandry. I've read about 'infamous CPU overload spikes' with the EMI which is worrying. Any feedback from this excellent forum would be greatly appreciated as I'm keen to get the ibook with dual boot possibilty before Christmas and operational at the same time. I'd echo the responses of others who've suggested a modest subscription for your forums as I use them extensively in my education research. Many thanks, Karina Townsend. |

Hi Karina,
as long as you need multiple outputs, try the audiosport, but take your ibook to the store and try it out there. I had some bad experience with it, and the support is sh...! If two outputs are enough, the emagic 6/2 ist probably a solution. It has midi inputs. And it works! DNArtist |
