Binky toy on Macbook (again?)

Post by yeahbuddy » Thu Nov 15, 2007 4:56 am

Can't get any playthrough using Binky Toy on my new Macbook. I believe I am using the latest version of Binky Toy (Universal Binary 2.5), and Maxipatch works OK. Binkytoy can see the i/o sources for my audio interface, but there's no audio. Vinyl demod is off.

Am I forgetting something?

Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz
MOTU 828 (NOT mkii, the original)
Technics 1200
ArtDJ preamp
Vestax PC Mixer (can't remember model #)
Binkytoy UB 2.5

-Y.

Hmmm. I also have a MOTU 828 (original, not mkII) and it works perfectly with Binky Toy on my MacBook Pro 2.0 GHz, OSX 10.4.10.

Can you post some screenshots showing both the "Audio I/O" and the "Vinyl Demod" tab views? Also open up "Audio MIDI Setup" utility and check settings there for the MOTU. You might just have some channels muted or something.

Select MOTU for Group2 audio I/O.

The first big problem I can see here is that you haven't selected a device for your Group2 Audio I/O. You've selected the MOTU as the I/O device for Group1, but nothing for Group2. You need to select the MOTU for Group2 as well for it to work.

thanks for the tip - problem solved!
i feel a bit like a dumbass but i'm glad it's something with such an easy fix... could have sworn i tried turning on Group 2 i/o.

thus far the mp3s i tried playing were quite glitchy, but let me re-read the documentation and see if i can fix that...
