I spent two hours last night trying to hook my Spark up to my computer without succeeding. But after watching your video it finally works! My issue was with the driver. Thank you so much!!!

Hey mate, thanks millions!!!

Once again thank you very much!!! Keep up the best work :)

I tried to install the USB audio device driver v4.80 but nothing worked, "no devices connected" in the Positive grid USB Audio device control panel.
Error message in both Cubase and studio one when selecting the USB Spark driver...

Thank for this video!!! it's the best one i have seen !!!

[chasinglatitudes]

Question. When I do this I get double sound. Meaning sound from amp and from computer. If I turn the volume down on the computer I can only hear the guitar not the other instrument. Can’t get that double sound to go away. Any help?

[Marcelo_B_]

great video! helped a lot! I followed the instructions, but when I press record, there is no sound or recording done. I must have something not activated or something. downloaded the software, installed it and changed to 48. thanks

Watching this video...I am using a MacBook Pro with USB-C input ports. I do have a hub with USB-3 inputs, or I can connect with a USB-3 to USB-C adapter. Either way my computer recognizes the Spark. Problem is Studio One registers "no audio input". Ideas as to why?
