  1. Unfortunately I made a mistake and, although I can now see the inputs and outputs listed correctly, I cannot get Mixpad to work with my external interfaces. I have made a separate post about this.
  2. After posting http://nch.invisionz...udio-interface/ yesterday, I have found that the issues exist with not just the Helix but also with my UA Apollo Twin. When using an external interface: 1) I can play pre-recorded tracks until I record - see 2; 2) I can record on tracks but when I attempt to replay them the system locks and will not play back any tracks. 3) On reaching this point MixPad will not play back or record any tracks unless I close and re-open Mixpad - then I am back to stage 1. The problem appears to be the audio device setting under Mixpad, Preferences. If this is set to built-in, Mix pad works even if recording from an external interface but to listen you have to use the computer output. It will also work on the default output setting IF the system is set to use its inbuilt audio. Any other setting here causes the chain listed above. Mixpad is not practical for me to use to me as it stands but I think it will be an excellent software choice when it does work so hopefully you can help! Has anyone else come across this issue on MacOSX? Thanks.
  3. I have now been able to make MixPad work correctly with my Line 6 Helix. Believe it or not the cure was to uninstall a driver Line 6 released, which was designed, I believe, to lower latency. I understand that this latency problem has been more of an issue for 'El Capitan' users so I'm glad I didn't upgrade! Apologies if I wasted anyone's time.
  4. I am attempting to record in Mixpad using my Line 6 Helix as an audio interface. I can select the interface in Mixpad and files I import will play through Helix but, when I enable recording, I get a message that there is a problem with my interface and that I should check to see whether it is turned on and connected properly. I can record using Wavepad without problems although neither Mixpad or Wavepad will allow me to select any particular settings for the 8 inputs or 8 outputs Helix offers ('Default' is the only option listed in Mixpad's settings). The Helix does show input/output options with different software e.g. SoundForge, and Mixpad is able to see the inputs and outputs listed for my Apollo Twin interface so this seems to be a strange issue. I am using a Macbook Pro running Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). I should be grateful for any help you can offer. Thanks.
