How To Get 2 Mic To Work In Garageband Mac

After installing macOS Mojave or later, you might see an alert that says audio input isn't accessible when trying to record. Or you might not hear sound, see waveforms, or see audio meters move when recording. To record audio, allow the app to access audio inputs:

1. Close the app you're using to record audio.
2. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click Privacy.
3. Click Microphone.
4. Select the checkbox next to an app to allow it to access the built-in microphone on your Mac, an external USB mic, or the inputs on an external audio interface.
   
5. Open the app and try to record audio again.

If you're using an external microphone or an external audio interface to record audio and it's still not working, check with the manufacturer of your device for software updates and information on compatibility.

Nov 29, 2017  Familiarize yourself with your microphone and all features included before recording. Plug in your USB microphone and set the input to select device name. Open Garageband and make. Mar 08, 2006  I've done a bit of research on the topic, and it seems that the iSight's mic records to 48 kHz, and GarageBand requires 44 kHz input, which is why GarageBand won't work with the iSight. What's weird is there are many other mics that list that they work with GarageBand, but also list the fact that they record to 48 kHz.
