Hello all,
I'm having problems getting audio into Garageband via the line-in port on my powerbook. I've attached several different microphones (none of which require phantom power) and none get any signal into the real instrument track that I've created. I've read a similar post about this problem on this site and tried the recommendations, but they didn't seem to work. Here's what I've done:
In "System Preferences", under "Sound --> Input" I've selected "Line In" as my device for audio input (as opposed to "Internal Microphone") and turned the input volume all the way up.
In "Audio Midi Setup", under the "Audio Devices" tab and in the "Audio Input" section, I have my source selected as "Line In", the format is 44.1, 2ch 16 bit (it won't let me select a mono format, and directly underneath where it has the volume sliders "M", "1" and "2", the "M" slider is greyed out).
In Garageband, I've gone to "Preferences" and tried to select something other than "Built-In" as my audio input source, but there are no other options to select. I've read on the web that the "Built-In" option in Garageband applies to both the internal microphone and the line-in port because they are both "built in" to the powerbook. I've tried restarting Garageband, which doesn't change anything. Also, no other tracks are muted or soloed and only the track that I am trying to record to is record enabled. Also, within Garageband on the track that I am attempting to record to I've set the monitor to "On" and have tried selecting all of the different inputs (Ch 1 Mono, Ch 2 Mono and Ch 1 & 2 Stereo). And of course the volume is all the way up on the track.
This is really frusterating me. Any help would be appreciated, especially since I bought the darn thing to record music with. Thanks
Theo
