Garageband Doesn' T Pick Up Mac Mic

Apr 10, 2020  If you don’t want to go direct into the interface, you can also use a microphone to pick up the tone from your own amp. I understand; you’ve spent thousands of dollars on an amp and pedals to get that perfect tone, and maybe you’d like to use that tone for your project on GarageBand.

I have a focusrite Interface and a Rode Microphone. When I first installed everything it worked fine then I unplugged it and tried plugging it in again and it doesn't work at all. The interface says it's picking up noise and If i plug my headphones into it I can hear myself.


However on garage band when I change my system preferences and garagebands preferences to the Interface it says it has no audio controls and it doesn't show it making noise, and whnever I try to record on garageband it doesn't even pick it up with it selected as the Input Source. The Recording Level also goes gray and I can't move it.


What can I do to fix it? I've installed all the drivers and everything and like I said it worked before.

Try again after each step

  1. In the App Store, tap Updates. Find GarageBand in the list. If you see Update next to GarageBand, tap Update. If not, skip this step.
  2. If you use Audio Units Extensions or Inter-App Audio apps as instruments or effects with GarageBand, check with the manufacturer for updates.
  3. If you use an external audio interface, disconnect it. If GarageBand works, you might need to update or service your audio interface.
  4. Delete any Audio Units Extensions or Inter-App Audio apps.
  5. Create a new song, then play it. If it works, check your other songs and solo tracks to see which one caused the issue.
  6. Reset GarageBand. Go to Settings > GarageBand, then tap Reset GarageBand. When you reset GarageBand, your song files, presets, or patches aren't affected. Other custom settings, such as the 24-bit audio resolution and Multitrack Recording settings, are reset to factory defaults.
  7. Back up any songs on your device. Then delete GarageBand and redownload it.
