Just because the red light is on doesnt mean that its on and the computer can recognize it. Simple fix ---- for some reason blue decided to make it to where the USB cable could plug into the mic and show the red light even if its in upside down, just flip it around and see if it then shows up in your midi/audio settings. Worked for me so im happy, thought i would have to return it! Hey folks out there, i had a simple problem with getting mine to work.

I have a Mac OS X 10.6.3 My first problem is that I can't follow your steps because my Audio MIDI Setup window is different to your`s. I uploaded an image to show you here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W1S8IMQT . Hope you can help me, thank you from Argentina! Hi! I have a Mac OS X 10.6.3

But now when I select the snowball and the built in out put together it only allows one to work. If i select the snowball 1st during the creation of an aggregate device it shows as 2 inputs, but the output stays 0. If i select them the other way round then the input stays at 0 when I select the snowball. Any idea how to fix this? Hi,

The thing is, sometime it would work, other times wouldn't show up. With all the problems I was having in Logic 9 and OS 10.6x, the blue snowball was not one of them -worked flawless.

Have you searched the Apple discussion boards for anyone having a similar problem? I'm on Snow Leopard and I can create as many aggregate devices as I want by clicking the plus button. Try repairing permissions, performing maintenance, etc. That’s definitely strange. Have you searched the Apple discussion boards for anyone having a similar problem?

For me, it adds an aggregate device named "Aggregate Device". In the right dialog box click "build-in Input", Built-in Output, and Blue Ball USB mic rev 1". Click the default name to some you like perhaps BlueBallAggregate" and close the Audio/Midi control panel. Open Logic Pro 8. Go to Preferences/Audio. Click the drop down list labeled "Device" and select the newly created "BlueBallAggregate". Create a audio track, activate record, press record and create sound via your Blue Ball and you should see audio being recorded. Thanks to the observer who noted that an output had to be added to the aggregate. Which makes sense in a non-intuitive way. Blue is to be heavily faulted for not providing this on the FAQ on their web site.

After clicking on the yes I closed Logic and restarted the computer and now Blue Snowball is recognized in Logic and Built-in Audio is used as the output. I would suggest that a person allows up to 5 mins for Logic to scan for the device before giving up. I'm using a Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5 and it took nearly that long.

The above is the correct way to get the Snowball going with Logic. The only change I would make is that when creating the aggregate device, and you wish to use the built in output to monitor, select the Snowball as the clock source and this will eliminate the latency. If you have the built in output as "clock", you hear roughly a full second of latency when using software monitoring in Logic 8. Hope this helps. Love the mic. I also got it working fine with Garage Band. Using Logic 8.0.2, Leopard 10.5.8 on a MacBook Pro. The above is the correct way to get the Snowball going with Logic.
