I cant do (record) anything anymore and I havent got a clue whats happening here and why, and am most desperate…
At some point I changed the USB cable from the DM3, thinking it was the cause of constant audio stutters. But it was the USB hub cable. I replaced it and thought all was well again… until I found I was no more receiving audio into the DAW from the DM3…
I did everything possible: changed usb cable again, reinstalled Reaper/Cubase, factory reset the DM3, reinstalled the DM3 driver (OSX Ventura)… but to no avail.
Completely lost I am now! Still no audio from the DM3 into the DAW,
but it plays back audio from the DAW out the speakers so the driver seems fine, and I see all 18 inputs and outputs in any DAW…
WTF is happening
I dont see any wrong settings, and the DM3 is factory reset so live inputs go straight out the USB port to the DAW… in normal circumstances. Which does not happen now.
Please, anyone, what do I need to check? What can it be?
Have checked in the connections menu to see if you have any outputs configured? You are definitely using the manufacturer asio driver and not a generic one?
I have traced the problem: its weird and stupidly implemented at the same time.
I had a message from the OS (osx) a few days ago that Reaper wanted access to the mic and that mic is a desktop mic for videocall sessions…
I denied access to that mic and that made all audio input was cut off from that point on. Of course I did not do any DAW recording at that point in time so I did not make the connection… And who figures that cutting a mic’s access cuts off all audio inputs in a DAW, its beyond my comprehension.
Anyway, its all OK again. What a freakin’ relief but hours of lost time with this “bug”!
