I am trying to set up my recording equipment and I have encountered difficulty getting garageband to recognize that I have a mic plugged into my interface. My mbox mini is hooked up to my computer, garageband allows me to use it for my audio output (monitors I have hooked up to the mbox), but i have not been able to pick up any sound with my external mic (an AT2035 cardioid capacitor mic).
I have selected the mbox as the audio input for garageband. When I go to the real instrument track info, the three options I have for input source are mono 1, mono 2, and stereo 1/2. None of those three options have resulted in sound being picked up by garageband. None of those options allow me to control the recording level bar which remains dimmed. I am very new to recording and don't know where to begin in solving this problem. I would be so thankful for any help.
