What needs to be done to fix the static problem I am having with this keyboard? Static does not occur when using just the built-in keyboard on my MacBook Pro. I'm am running Leopard 10.5.2 and GarageBand is currently up to date.
 
If you are recording as a 'Real Instrument Track' it might be that you have the monitor on...

...Under where you choose your input source (i.e line-in/ built in mic etc) there is another box called 'Monitor', make sure it is set to off, or you'll end up with static or a high pitched screech.

Good luck and hope this helps
 
Got the same setup and never had a problem.
I'd think a software issue as suggested above.

Do you have anything other than Garageband to test it with?
