just joined. need help recording audio into logic on mac via motu 828

is this the right forum for this this question?

just bought a microphone and am trying to record audio track. no problem using apple loops etc.

I have plugged mic into input in socket 2 (0f 8) in motu and have selected input 2 on my logic 8 audio track. can't get any response.

have checked the audio interface on mac and is set to motu 828 same in logic preferences - audio - interface.

When i check input on mac audio perferences i get response from microphone, but not in logic.

Any one know what i am refering to and have a solution or idea of what might resolve this.

Thanks.

Is this while actually recording a track or just monitoring the meter with the track armed for recording?

I suspect the problem is that on the MOTU the mic inputs 1 and 2 are equivalent to input 9 and 10 NOT input 1 and 2 in Logic.

are you familiar with the back of the motu 828. i am refering to one of the 8 in/out sockets.

you refer to 'mic inputs 1 and 2 are equivalent to input 9 and 10' so i do not know what you mean.

Should i be using another input? do i need to set something on logic?

much appreciated

If you are using a mic you should be plugged in via one of the front 2 mic preamps - prefereably using the XLR inputand not a jack. The rear input are not for mics but line level inputs (desks, mic preamps etc). Get yourself a proper XLR-XLR mic cable and plug it into Mic Input 1. Set the level pot to show 2-3 green lights and set the Logic channel to record on input 9 (I think it is 9 try other odd number 11 and 13 just in case).
