Help required please. Electric guitar - M-Audio Fast track - USB iMac - Garageband. My signal shows on the Fast track led and as a clean signal through headphones on the fast track but I cannot hear it through my iMac speakers or on Garageband.

@Darryld1 Watch my video called "Troubleshooting Garageband - Why don't you hear anything "

mayb some one can help when i have my audiobox usb connected i keep getting like a hiss randomly?...and when im recording and want to stop the notes from ringing i get a hiss aswell? what do i do to stop the nasty hiss :O

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@zombiegreencard Try a different USB cable, and if that doesn't do it try a different XLR cable.

its still not working. when i click on electric guitar nothing comes up on the left, and neither does the Amp? Im using two versions os garage band, 3, and 5.0

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@mrmytime2shine ok 2 things. You have an old version of GB that doesn't have the amps. However to the sound out of both sides, change your input to MONO 1 and all should work.

@GaragebandandBeyond thanks for replying. I figured it out but it doesn't seem a very intuitive way of getting what I want. thanks for replying. :)

I configured an external amp using a audiobox interface into garage band so that I can use the amps affects and hear them through headphones. When I configure the setup I can't get Garageband to receive the sound track.

Great videos. Just figuring GB out as my son has asked Santa for a guitar for Xmas. Once you have set GB up with your guitar do you then use the "Line out to an ordinary Amp" or are you using headphones / internal speakers. Thanks once again Sigy

which amplifyer is better for recording acoustic sound? (electro-acoustic, still plugged in like an electric guitar)
