usb mic

Hey guys! I have a PreSonus usb mic that my Mac won't recognize in garage band, or in settings. I use the USB adapter because my Mac doesn't have any usb inputs, the mic still turns on and works but the computer won't recognize it. I plugged the mic into my moms older Mac and it recognizes it and I am able to record in garage band, but how do I get the mic to work with my Mac?

Thank you!

MacBook, OS X 10.11

What mac do you have that does not have a USB port? What version of Garageband are you running?


If you are on Catalina or Mojave, this might be an issue:
