Garage band will not recognize the lexicon until I remove and re-plug in the usb. Then no sound will come out of the garage band, either while recording or playing back, and the record volume slider on the lower right wont move from zero. This does not occur to existing garage band files if I pull up garage band with lexicon attached. Its not recognized till I unplug and re-plug. I am going into the lexicon line one and two with left and right lines from a cassette deck (to digitize my tape). i can hear the audio in the lexicon unit with the earphones, and the audio is showing up on the recording bars. I'm going into a mac with at least the requirements for not needing to load up a driver.

Can you call an estimate about music equipment

what are you trying to do exactly? Garageband should recognize the mixer as a MIDI device already.

hello paola go directly in your mac and open properties of the mic and adjust as you like obs this is making tests with the mic connected
yours antonio

What is the model of your sound card?

Hi
every driver related problem can be solved by using this software: Driver Update Software.
enjoy

hello I have the same problem, I'm told that updating the firmware of the Lexicon MX200 is solved but it turns out that my pc does not recognize the device via USB to update, any solution? thank you very much

Make sure you have Phantom power turned on on the Lexicon... Oh,oh... it appears that the Alphs may NOT have phantom power which IS a REQUIREMENT for most condenser mics...

The Lexicon Omega does have this but apparently the Aplpha doesn't have it.

That leaves you with the choice of either getting a dynamic mic that doesn't need Phantom, or replacing the Alpha, OR using a preamp ahead of the mic before the Alpha...

Sorry, but those are the only solutions I see for you.

REMEMBER that condenser mics pick up everything and you cannot run them into a PA or they will feedback.

try use a dedicated pre-amplif on your mic, and connect to your normal set.

Leopard OS-X has issues with usb audio recording devices.

Verify the hand-held transmitter is operative.
Prepare for programming the universal transmitter by erasing all three channels (hold down the two outside buttons until the red light begins to flash [20-30 seconds]). Release both buttons.
Select one of the three universal transmitter channels to be programmed by pressing the desired button
Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter 25-51 mm (1-2 in) from the front surface of the universal transmitter so that the red light can still be seen
Use both hands to press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the universal transmitter. Do not release either button.
Hold down both buttons until the red light on the universal transmitter flashes, first slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons when the rapid flashing begins. The universal transmitter has successfully learned the new frequency signal and can be used in place of the hand-held transmitter(s).
If the hand-held transmitter appears to program the universal transmitter but does not open the garage door, the garage door opener may have a code protected or rolling code feature.
To operate, simply press the appropriate button on the universal transmitter. The red light is on while the signal is being transmitted.
IF THE GARAGE OPENER HAS ROLLING CODES---
program as above then------
Train the garage door opener receiver to recognize the universal transmitter.
Remove the cover panel from the garage door opener receiver.
Locate the training button on the garage door opener receiver. Location and color of the button may vary by garage door opener manufacturer. Refer to the garage door opener instruction manual or owner literature.
Press the training button on the garage door opener receiver for 1-2 seconds.
Press the programmed universal transmitter button for as long as the universal transmitter red light flashes (1-2 seconds). Release the button and re-press the button to confirm that the universal transmitter is trained to the receiver.
The garage door opener should recognize the universal transmitter.
