Apr 07, 2020  Headset microphone not showing up in recording devices. Hi, so today I picked up a pair of Siberia v3's, and I used the splitter that came with the headset. The headphones work fine but the mic.

  • Jan 30, 2017  For some reason my sound input isn't picking up at all, sure I can play with it through Normalisation but i much prefer to do that at the end once i'm happy with the raw vocals. My current set up is: A 5 year old Shure PG48 An Alesis Core 1 Sound Interface Standard XLR cable 2009 iMac with El Capitan Audacity 2.1.2 via.DMG installer GarageBand.
  • Microphone won't pick up any sound My Shure SM57 Microphone stopped working. I've always heard that these things are basically indestructible and I didn't do anything rough or harsh on it, it just stopped picking up sound one day.
  • Dec 22, 2008  get the Shure SM57. It's a good, all-around, not-terribly-expensive mic. I use it to mic my Twin for recording w/GarageBand and, believe me, it'll pick up pretty much EVERYTHING you throw at it with a nice, clean response. It's far and away the best thing going for the money.

Does this sound familiar? You want to starta podcast. You’re on a budget. You’ve already decided to use GarageBand and foundthe perfect mic, but after a little bit of research, you realize the soundquality would be significantly improved using two microphones instead of one. Theproblem is that GarageBand won’t recognize the secondary input.

It seems like it should be easy to connecttwo different microphones to your computer, but it’s not as straightforward asit seems. Even if you do connect two separate microphones, you can end up withtwo individual audio streams.

Here’s how to record input from two separate microphones into a single audio stream. Also, check out my previous post on using GarageBand to record a real instrument playing.

How to Connect Two Microphones to GarageBand

Virtual dj 7 free download for pc. GarageBand only recognizes a single input,but it is possible to record using two separate devices. You just have to trickthe program into thinking two connections are one. Here’s how to do it.

1. Open Finder and choose Go > Utilities, or hit Command + Shift + U with Finder open.

2. Open the Audio MIDI Setup application.

3. At the bottom left corner of the screen, click the “+.”

4. Choose Create Aggregate Device.

5. When you do this, a new aggregate devicewill appear in the list above. Double-click the device name to rename it.

6. With this device selected, you will see a list of all available audio devices in the Audio Devices window. Select the inputs you want to use. You would select the two microphones you want to use, but make note of the order you select them in. The order they are checked determines the order the system will view the inputs.

7. When you select multiple devices, youwill have the option to select the clock source. Without getting too technical,this will be the audio input the time is based on. Choose the source with themost reliable clock speed.

8. When you have selected the twomicrophones you intend to use, exit from the Audio MIDI Setup.

2. Look in the bottom left corner and click on the arrow beside Details.

3. Click Input Device and select the aggregate device from the list.

4. Choose the output device you want touse. Note: you do not want to use the Built-in Output, as it can cause audiodistortion in the recording. Instead, use headphones or another output source.

7. Select Aggregate Input from the Input Device menu.

8. From there, navigate back to the GarageBand screen and press the Smart Controls button (or just hit the B key.)

9. In the Smart Controls menu, select Input and choose Aggregate Device from the list if it isn’t already selected.

And with that step, you should be set upand ready to record from two microphones. There are still a few issues that mayarise, however. If you have two identical USB microphones, it can be difficultto get the computer to recognize them as individual devices because theirdigital signatures are identical. This may be easier to pull off using separatetypes of microphones.

If you try to record and find one of themicrophones isn’t working, don’t make the mistake we did and repeat every stepabove—not at first, anyway. The first step should be to check that the secondmicrophone is turned on. Congratulations, and good luck with recording.
