Real instrument Troubles (built in mic wont turn off...kinda)

Hey guys,
I'm new to this whole GB3 biz, but I've used CoolEdit Pro alot in the past. Anyway, in CEP, I was able to connect my electric guitar directly into my microphone jack using an adabter, and it would pick it up just fine.
But Im not having so much luck with my mac (the other comp was a PC) Anyway, because the new MBP's have that built in Mic, it wont leave me alone! I plug in the guitar, go to prefrences and select Built-In Audio, but when I try and record, its not reading the guitar from the audio jack, instead its recording from the builtin microphone, so I get this shotty, horrible sounding crap.
I've tried turning the microphone volume off, muting it etc etc, I've read all the tutorials about recording a Real instrument, but am having no luck. Whatever I do, GB3 just isn't reading the signal from the audioport, it keeps insisting on reading it from the microphone or nothign at all.
Anyhelp is much appreciated, thanks a ton guys.

Hi,
I am having the same problem but I cannot change my input setting in the GB preferences there is no option in the drop down menu for audio input it just says built in audio and thats it. I had the previous version of garageband and was able to connect my my keyboard via midi to the computer and could hear and record in the older version but now nothing. please help.

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont turn off

    my ipod shuffle wont turn off! it is 2nd gen i think it is silver with clip on on the back. when i pause it it will pause but when i turn switch to off green light still flashing and will still play if press play button any ideas? or do i buy another one . it is about 9 months old.

    thanks for your reply. in the end i took it to an apple service centre and coz it only 8months old got it replaced for free in two days, seeing as im in darwin i was quite impressed!!. i agree it is made cheap but i use it for the gym and no other portable music player is equipped with the clip on the back which is the most simple design feature and no-one is catching on. have seen the new one , which looks brilliant, if my replacement craps itself after its 1 year warranty then i will just get the new one. thanks again for the reply.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    -When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program instead of the buttons.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My mac book air turn on with grey apple icon and spining wheel. then it wont turn off.

    my mac book air turn on with grey apple icon and spining wheel. then it wont turn off.pls help

    Have exactly the same problem with my wife's MacBook Air. After restaring in Restore mode and trying to repair the disk (Disk Utility showed errors in the verification), the system tells me to backup as much data as possible (how?), re-format the disk and restore backed-up files. Error comes up when "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required".
    Original restart action was done due to software update requesting it, if I remember correctly, iTunes was updated.
    I don't want to start a painful back-up procedure (although I do regular back-ups): how should I know, where iPhoto stores it's data or where my mails are (yes, still using local mail)? How can I access the data if I can't boot?
    My iMac's disk crashed also a couple of months ago and I'm still recovering. I have four Apple devices, two of them have failed. Can Apple afford such a ratio?

  • TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL.

    TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL. IPAD MAY NEED MORE FREE MEMORY FOR THE NEW SOFTWARE BUT HOW DO I FREE UP MEMORY IF THE IPAD IS FROZEN. CAN THIS BE DONE ON iTUNES OR THE APPLE SITE?

    Took my iPad to the Apple store today and they were able to unfreeze it with a simple forced reset. This is done by pressing the Off button at the same time as you press the button on the front and hold for about 20 seconds. The new software had successfully installed and the iPad had frozen when it was starting up again after install. Not sure why this simple process can't be part of a FAQ page on the Apple site.

    i've had a similar problem,had my nano since september and its been fine but it wont turn off when you hold down play/pause. no matter how long you hold it down. also, usually when you unplug the headphones it automatically changes pauses then eventually switches off, it doesnt do that either. i had a problem like this with my mark 2 ipod and just hope it doesnt go the same way as that!

  • Lumia 1020 focus assist light wont turn off

    lumia 1020 focus assist light wont turn off. i've done a hard reset and a soft reset. ive also drained the battery but the little round light continues to be turned on .
    i checked and it looks like ive still got warranty from nokia. will they still honour the warranty if ive updates the software?

    I have the same problem, I tested everything, hard reset, soft reset, using recovery tool to back to Cyan version, still the light is ON..  what is tyhe problem, it is ridicolous that Microsoft/ Nokia do not give an answer to this problem as many users have the same problem........

    Hi, alekswithkz. Just to verify, when you say hard reset, do you mean: Settings>About>Reset? If yes, you can try to download and use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool before considering sending the phone for repair.

    Note: The link is from Nokia US. If you are in another country, feel free to download the app from your local Nokia website.
    If the issue remains, it's best to have it examined by an authorized Nokia technician. This will also determine if the repair will be covered under warranty. Warranty period starts on the date of purchase. Please bring your receipt for warranty verification.
