Logic pro x not working with focusrite scarlett 4i4
Hello,
I'm experiencing a problem with my Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 (3rd Gen) when used with Logic Pro X. Interestingly, it works perfectly with GarageBand. Both applications are running under the same hardware and software configurations, but for some reason, Logic Pro X just doesn't cooperate.
My system info:
- MacOS Ventura 13.4
- Logic Pro X 10.7.8
- Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 - 3rd Gen
Here's the issue: When I use Logic Pro X, I only manage to get some guitar sounds in, but they're very poor and distorted (note: I'm not using any pedals or external hardware here).
While the input meter appears to show good levels of input, the quality of the recorded sound is unacceptable. I can only get some input on Channel 1 from the Focusrite, and that's regardless of the input selection in Logic Pro X. However, the recorded sound is not usable. Strangely, there is absolutely no input from Channel 2 of the Focusrite on any inputs in Logic Pro X.
Here are the steps I've already tried to fix the problem:
- Checked Focusrite Control settings - everything seems fine, and as stated before, GarageBand works without any issues.
- Reinstalled Logic Pro X.
- Reset audio interfaces, including a full audio unit reset.
- Tested different cables, but saw no improvement (note: these same cables work fine with GarageBand).
- followed https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360000754089-Logic-Pro-X-Setup
Despite the same hardware and settings, GarageBand operates without any issues on the same Mac.
I would appreciate any suggestions or solutions to help resolve this issue. Thank you!
