TDOA Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Hi I am trying to record the accompaniment parts from the CTX5000 into protools using a Behringer UM2 Interface, and an iMac., I had no problem doing this using GarageBand on my Mac laptop with my Roland VA7 but I am getting nowhere using the iMac (Sonoma version) with the CTX. All I manage to record is a very quiet noisy distorted mess been reading and going round in circles for days now so wondering if anyone knows what I should be looking at. I should explain that I am trying to record the whole of the accompaniment on to 1 stereo track of Audio not Midi. any suggestions apart from tearing my hair out appreciated.

Mclandy Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I can tell you that I've done quite a bit of recording using my CT-X5000 and a Behringer UM2 to my Windows 11 PC, and haven't had any problems. The keyboard output is simply line audio, so it doesn't seem likely that that's the problem. Have you connected headphones to the UM2 to listen to the CT-X keyboard feed, to see if it sounds OK there? Does the CT-X setup work when connected to your Mac laptop, instead of the iMac? If so, it certainly seems like it could be a driver or configuration problem on the computer side. I assume you have the two keyboard outputs going to the two inputs to the UM2, and I know you need a certain version of the driver (at least, on Windows) to be able to configure the UM2 audio as a single stereo feed instead of two separate mono feeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclandy Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 (edited) This article relating to using the UM2 on a Mac says: "Another issue that MAC users may experience is intermittent or distorted sound....", so you might want to go through this and see if it helps. https://audiolover.com/production-technology/audio-interface/why-wont-behringer-audio-interface-u-phoria-um2-work-on-mac/ One thing I seem to remember is that I believe the UM2 supports 16-bit audio (instead of 24-bit) at 48kHz, so you might want to check your audio configuration to make sure it's set correctly.
