Help M- Audio Solo
Hi All.
Need to do a simple demo clip. I have an M Audio and mac using Garage Band. I no idea what I am doing. I can record using the tiny mic in the iMac ( not great ) but when I plug my Sure SM 58 mic into the M Audio......it just does not record.....no sound from the mic. Any ideas beside trashing the whole system. daniel |

If you have a local guitar center they can answer your questions in person.
Guitar Centers have dedicated seminars of garage band and m-audio most Saturday mornings. You can ask all your questions at these seminars and get a "hands on" solution to your issues. Nothing real deep, but they definitely know garage band and M-Audio products. If you bought your M-Audio from a reputable dealer (ie. Sweetwater), they are generally patient about answering questions. |

Where getting your feet wet in computer based recording solutions can be frustrating getting ticked is never the answer
GarageBand has to be told you want to switch to the M-Audio interface. It wouldn't automatically assume that M-Audio is the device you'd like to use. The fact that GarageBand still "sees" the internal Mac sound card (the tiny mic) says that GarageBand does not yet recognize the M-Audio device. Have the M-Audio drivers been installed?? If the answer is yes then go to GarageBand preference section and select M-Audio and de-select the internal sound preference. Skip the whole part about trashing the entire system. |

In both cases choose "Sound", then "input" and select the m-Audio. Another hint - while recording, monitor using headphones, rather than speakers. Plug the headphones into the m-Audio - this reduces latency. You must also select m-Audio as the sound output in the two sets of preferences. |
