Have Axiom plugged into both Firebox and USB

[mellotron]

My Axiom didn't come with a power adapter, so I have it plugged into the USB for power. Will this interfere with my software recognizing it through my Firebox? I try to record using Ableton Live Lite 6, but I press down on the keys and nothing happens.

Assuming you're talking about this.. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/MAudio-Axiom-25-25Key-USB-MIDI-Controller?sku=706313

The first question I'd have is why you have it running into your Firebox. It's just a midi controller, and so doesn't have much use running through the Firebox when you can just as easily use USB. See here (https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=259014) for why that is.

I had the same problem

Hey, I loaded my new Axiom 49 yesterday and after I finally got the drivers to work I had trouble getting the controller to make sounds when I used the same software you loaded. The solution I found was to go into advanced audio options in my Windows control panel and there I found that my computer defaulted to recognizing an internal Windows MIDI device. If your M-Audio driver loaded properly, you should be able to change this to the Axiom.

Then, go back into the Live music software and try selecting it as your MIDI device, it should be a visibly available choice now. Hope that helps.
