Hi all,
Seems I've hit an issue that has Apple Support scratching their heads too...
Trying to get audio from my daughter's Casio LK-130 keyboard into her new MacBook for using in GarageBand.
Keyboard only has analogue output via headphone jack.
Bought a Behringer U-Control UCA222 which is designed for this sort of analogue to digital conversion.
It has RCA inputs and regular USB output which obviously has to be run through the Apple USB-C adaptor lead. It also has a monitor port to allow you to hear the signal. I'm assuming this just taps into the analogue stream.
Okay, so... device is bus-powered, lights up just fine. Headphones plugged into the device have clear audio so we have audio at that stage.
Open GarageBand and... zip. No audio whatsoever.
Open Sound Control Panel and under the inputs tab USB Audio CODEC has automatically selected so the Mac is seeing the device.
Then here's where it gets weird... down the bottom of the Sound panel is an input level monitor bar.
Press a key on the keyboard & the bar registers the audio. Turn the volume (therefore output level) up on the keyboard & the level will display higher when a key is pressed. Turn it down and it goes lower.
I am totally baffled, as is Apple.
It is like something is not switched on or a plug-in is missing.
Anyone have any ideas?
