PreSonus Audio Interface Not Connecting to Logic Pro: How to Fix Blocked Drivers in macOS Security

Client’s Question

I updated the PreSonus Universal Control software, and now my Quantum audio interface is not connecting with Logic at all. How can I get it working?

Session Result

The connection failure was due to the client missing the 30-minute window to approve the new driver’s system extension in macOS Security Preferences. The issue was resolved by following the official PreSonus guide to remove and reinstall the driver, immediately followed by navigating to the Security Preferences to “Allow” the system extension, which restored the PreSonus Quantum’s connection to Logic Pro.

I/O Effect Feedback Fix: Setting Up SPL Transient Designer in Logic Pro with PreSonus Universal Control

Client’s Question

I’m trying to set up my SPL Transient Designer hardware unit as an I/O effect in Logic using my PreSonus 1810c interface, but all I get is nasty feedback and frustration. How can I get this working correctly?

Session Result

The feedback and routing errors were caused by the default settings in the PreSonus Universal Control software, which was sending the same Logic DAW output to multiple physical outputs and causing a loop. The solution was two-fold: 1. Corrected Internal Routing: Adjusted the Mix 3/4 setup in the Universal Control software mixer to ensure physical outputs matched the correct DAW outputs (e.g., muting DAW 1 and unmuting DAW 3 for Mix 3/4). 2. Eliminated Feedback: Muted all input channels on the software mixer, allowing Logic Pro to handle input monitoring and stopping the SPL unit’s output from feeding back into itself.
