Re: MBox/Live Setup

I DONT USE SPDIF BUT  I HAVE IT AS ONE OF MY SOUNDCARD INPUTS. THERE IS ALSO A SPDIF VOLUME CONTROL IN MY VOLUME PROPERTIES THAT I ALWAYS KEEP MUTED BECAUSE OF NOISE IT MAKES WHEN I DONT ACTUALLY USE IT. YOU MAY CHECK THERE TO SEE THAT IT IS ACTIVE AND NOT MUTED. HOPE THIS MAY HELP.

Hm, don't know the answer to your specific problem. I haven't worked with SPDIF.

Have you checked the Ableton forums? Been very helpful for me at least.

Hopefully an easy question. 

 

I have an effects processor (ToneLab) which connects my guitar to my MBox 2 Pro via S/PDIF, which connects to my Windows PC via Firewire.  I'm trying to get Live to recognize the signal from the S/PDIF port but am not succeeding.  I am not using ProTools in this scenario, just Live standalone.  It does recognize audio coming from direct audio inputs, just not from S/PDIF.

 

Has anyone done this before and succeeded or can someone point me somewhere to get help?  I've searched Google but haven't found an answer.

 

Also, if this is not the right/preferred way to do things, please let me know, I'm just coming up to speed on S/PDIF

 

Thanks,
