Hi everyone,

I am new to all of this and I just wanted some help in transfering some music I have written on my synthesizer to my Apple Imac and the Garageband application.

I managed to do this successfully a few years back but Im trying to do it again and I am having problems with it as even though I have an audio cable running from my synthesizer to the Apple Imac I cannot hear the songs playing on Garageband.

What could I be doing wrong? And why cant I hear the songs I have playing on my synthesizer in Garageband? The volume seems to be working perfectly on the Apple Imac and it just seems to be a problem with the songs on my synthesizer having no sound on Garageband.

What I am trying to do is to record the songs I have written on my synthesizer on Garageband as a real instrument track and then sing over the musical backing track that has been imported in.

Any help will be greatfully received.

James.

I'm guessing you didn't change the input source? Check in both system preferences > sound and in the garageband preferences.
