Recording into a MacBook

Posted on

Member Since: May 03, 2007

I'm trying to record into Garage Band. I'm running a mic into an eight-channel Behringer mixer and I set the Mac drivers to accept the 1/8" line input on the side. I was running a 1/4"-1/8" cable from the main out into the Mac, but wasn't getting any input. All levels on the mixer were good and signal was definitely going out. Is there a discrepancy in the levels still between the main outs and the Mac's input? Would it be better to try the RCA outs?

thanks

I went into the mac preferences and set it to line in. I'm just wondering if there's still a level problem, if what's coming out of the main outs still needs to go through a pre-amp or a DI.

I dunno either but I'm gonna watch this thread because I am getting a Lexicon Omega Studio USB Audio Interface to use with my ibook g4 and I thought I could just plug it ion and go... but maybe not!!
Good Luck!!!

nah, anykind of 'main out' is prolly runnin' at line level, so you won't need a preamp there...

i don't think this is a problem, but is your cable balanced (TRS or stereo) gooin' into the line in on your computer?

hey, where'd the hrc TRS logo thing go?...i was gonna use that as an example.
