ION Profile LP - what am I doing wrong, its recording from the mic: The recording is coming from the mic on my mac rather than direct from the USB cable - what am I doing wrong?

you have to change your audio input settings to USB in your "Sound" panel under System prefs.

If you are listening to a recording made with the device, it is possible there was too much distance and the microphone did not pick up adequately. I had this happen once. If you are copying files to the recorder to listen to, then must be in the "Music" folder. Hope that helps.

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better. You have to switch input in settings also, it's probably defaulted to "built in mic".

It's no software it jus plug in play... If you need software to record with download REAPER or Sony Acid Pro they work great and they both have free trials so you can test and see which fit you best

I have the same issue before and I could not able to find the location of microphone. I tried to record and found the quality of recoded voivce was OK infront or in the left side it.

i found the best setup is--from your interface(the box that comes with your recording software) into a TUBE preamp(arc, prosonus) then into a compressor(this is essential for controlling the input/volume so you do not peak while recording) of your choice(i use one called "a really nice compressor" from the u.s of a) then into your lovely mic and away you go. ps. make sure you use the instrument input on your interface, from the pre-amp

Assuming you are recording from the adapter, it sounds like the input to the audio programs you are using is not set to the USB audio source.

I use my to record to my Mac but I also have and M-AUDIO FatTrack Pro mixer and a PreSonuys Tube Prev2 amp to supply more power to the mic. Sorry it took my awhile to get back to you!

Ok, it is presumed that your mic is set up properly! If you need to reset the unit constantly, return the equipment. It seems you got a "lemon."

The better question is does the Creative Labs E-MU 0404 support the Mac with the latest drivers. The E-MU 0404 USB combines an external audio sound card and two microphone inputs into one USB unit; with the Microphones being plugged into the E-MU 0404. Your mic, the Yeti Blue mic is a USB mic and hence is being plugged into a USB port also, and not into the E-MU 0404 USB device. Why would you need this? I think the Apple MAC has integrated audio and your software should capture the USB mic input and fix any latencys during the recording. The audio output on the PC will include the mixed audio from the mic.

I think that's a function of your recorder rather than the mic. If you can transfer the file from your recorder to a computer or other device, you can send it on.

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing. But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

It probably does not. When I updated my ITunes, the software no longer worked. I use Audacity to finish the recordings. That was months ago, so Ion Audio has still not updated? I would certainly go to their site and find out.

I've had no issues getting the USB to work on PC notebooks and a Mac notebook. For what it's worth, playback was done using both, and recording was done on the PC. Very clean results. No problems. Win 7 on the PC. OSX on the Mac.

I haven't tried that yet. I would like to know myself. And also what the yellow icon is below the headphone and microphone jacks. If it does record properly (in stereo) email me at halsmithnauvoo@gmail.com. As a fellow-owner, we have to help each other out.

Hi Kelle, I hope this helps. There is a cap over the USB connector on the bottom, as you've probably discovered by now. Take it off, then plug the unit into any USB port on your computer. This will actually charge the device, too. But you can use it either plugged in or not. You will have to be sure it's charged first, though. When you first plug it in, there is a tiny red light, which means it's charging. When it turns blue, you can record. Then there is a switch on the top. Slide it to Rec to record, then STOP to stop, obviously. It needs to be plugged it into the computer to get the files. It does not do any playback. Then, in Windows, just go to the File Manager (it used to be called that, anyway) and look under Computer for the list of drives. It should show up as a Removable Disk. Then click on it and see what's on it. If you've recorded any files, just copy/paste them to whatever folder you want them in. The ads claim great quality, but really, it's not that good. It's just handy for quick voice recording and can be carried in a purse or pocket, or even "palmed" if you need to be discrete.

Well, I bought mine a few days ago and recorded some voice /guitar at home. The recorder was easy to use and the results sound clean. It is very easy to transfer into my Mac and to burn a CD. However my CD will not play in my Sony sound system and I was very disappointed to find that the CD is only usable in a computer. I am not at all tech savvy and at age 75, I probably never will be. I even put the wav files through a software that changed them to AIFF bu all I get is a loud buzz from my CD player. Does this sound right?
