Once you have all of your gear ready to go, you’ll need to set up GarageBand to record and playback through your gear. First, make sure your microphone is plugged into your audio input device, and that your audio input device is plugged into a USB port on your Mac. Or if you’re using a USB mic, plug it directly into your Mac. Then make sure your headphones are plugged into your Mac’s headphone jack, or into your audio device’s headphone jack. Once those items are connected, start up GarageBand. This video walks you through the processes of setting up your gear with GarageBand.
