What’s Wrong?
So I finally got the chance to work on my M-Audio Duo USB interface last night – this was the unit that didn’t work at the Vogue, and I wanted to troubleshoot it before I took it out again. I started out reloading the driver (something I’m not used to having to do with a Mac, and kudos to M-Audio for leaving legacy drivers up on their site), which didn’t initially work. I also swapped out the USB cable and rechecked a switch on the front (it was recording audio without a problem, but I couldn’t get it to take audio from Reason). After this, I rebooted a couple times and . . . poof, it was working again. I played for a bit and then rebooted a couple more times, to see if it was a fluke.
Nope, working now. So now I have a working setup again, but I’m not entirely sure why. And that’s extremely frustrating. I’m going to take backup cables with me to all future shows in case I have to go out of the headphone jack again. Grrrrr.
