G'day mate from Sydney Australia! loving your vid's, I have an urgent problem, I need to connect a set of Roland V Drums to garageband, I have an M-Audio Fast Track Pro, I have the cable in the out of the drums and in the back of the m-audio but no joy! HELP!

PS I just picked up a Fender Telecaster Deluxe yesterday, awesome guitar.

@Tokyo997 Check out my video called "Troubleshooting Garageband" There should be something in there that can help.

So are there different types of MIDI cables that I should be aware of. Would some not fit into certain midi ports?

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@goldAUsilverAG Nope! all MIDI cables are the same!

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@xmariox3333 no it is only for MIDI compatible keyboards

When I plug my Uno into the computer, nothing shows up.. . like it doesn't tell me "One MIDI has been detected" :/ I have the same cord by the way!
