Yes people!
Suuuuurely i’m missing something here?
I’m trying to record sounds from my OP1 on to Logic Pro X through an M-Audio Interface. I have the OP1 and Interface connected using a decent AUX cable and JACK adapter through an input i have had no trouble with in the past.
1) Before I record, the signal clearly show’s i am receiving some kind of interference seldom from the OP1. A large
“Hissing” sound in the background. Could this issue be the line??? Everything else is set up normally.
2) The signal is also VERY low with whatever I record, why??? Any volume changes I adjust make minor differences.
Usually I’d find these answer’s on youtube… know one seems to use the OP1 as instrument plug in??

Have you tried ‘shift + com’ > button 4 > use knob to switch off charging when connected via usb’? Seems to fix some of the ‘noise’ issues people have…

Thank you for your comment, It doesn’t seem to work either??
1) unplug the power to the OP-1. Shutting off recharging reduces, but does not entirely eliminate the interference. The interference will be gone intirely when using the OP-1 on battery power while recording.
2) Keeping in mind that the OP-1 does not have the hottest of output signals, the output of the OP-1 uses a TRS (tip/ring/sleeve) stereo jack, where the sleeve is ground and the tip and ring are designated to left/right channels. The input you're using on the Fast Track is a balanced, mono TRS input, where the signals on the tip and ring are presented out of phase. There may be some cancellation making the signal seem low. Try using a stereo splitter cable to send the left to one input of the Fast Track and the right to the other. You need something like an insert cable with a 1/8" TRS on one side and two mono 1/4" TS plugs on the other. I use this one:

I was just on the phone with my friend who also said this.
Do you think this would do the trick? Or do I have more of a chance using a split cable for both Inputs?
No, that cable will send one of the output channels to ground. You need an insert cable like the one linked above, or something like this:

All sorted, thank you!!!
Went for the one in your first link and it works perfect.
