Can I use Airpods Pro as a microphone to record audio into Garageband?

Trying to use Airpods Pro to record audio for a project for work. Using Macbook Pro mid 2013 with Garageband and catalina. I have updated software as much as I can. My MacBook recognizes that my Airpods are connected and it is receving the audio from them. When I use garage band I am able to set input and output settings to my Airpods but when I start recording I receive an error message saying "no input is selected."

Am I able to record using Airpods Pro and Garageband?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

Hey there jbley12,

If recording audio in GarageBand is causing you some issues, maybe I can be of assistance.

Let's start by double-checking a few settings. Look over If you can't record audio after installing macOS Mojave or later and make sure that you have GarageBand enabled in step 4.

Here's another great resource for audio recording within GarageBand.

Before recording audio

Hopefully that'll get you moving in the right direction. Let me know how it goes.

Be well.
