Greetings folks,
I am at my wits end, so any thoughts or feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
I work on music at home with a 1.2 Ghz G4 w/ 1 Gig of RAM.
My computer has 2 Hard Drives, one for OS 9.2 so that I can work on my old legacy Cubase 5.2 projects. The other has panther.
The mkII is working flawlessly with Cubase in OS 9.2, so I know the problem I am about to describe is not related to the mkII.
In Panther, I am running Garageband. I am messing around with loops etc in anticipation of the arrival soon of Logix Express 7 which I will use as I gradually move away from my Cubase/OS9 stronghold.
I have installed the latest drivers for the 828 mkII for Panther.
In Garageband, I have set the mkII as the input and output device for the program. I can monitor the loops I am assembling and hear playback flawlessly through the mkII (on both monitors and headphones).
However i cannot seem to get any audio in to the program from the mkII. I create a track, select the input channel, and nothing comes into the program. (I have verified the hardware is working, same set-up through mkII and i can easily record from the mkII in Cubase OS9).
I wanted to isolate whether the problem could be with Garageband or OSX itself. I went into the sound control panel and selected the mkII for input and output. I could hear the computer's sound perfectly via the mkII. But I could not hear the input signal from channel 1. The weird thing is, the meter in the input panel registered the signal visually as i checked my mic but I could hear no audio. In Garageband however, the meter doesn't even visually register an input.
If you have any ideas at all I would be very obliged. I've been working on this all night and I'm running out of steam....
Cheers,
Scott
