Hi! I just got the Rode NT1-A condenser mic and am using it with the Behringer UMC22 interface. However when I’ve tried to record on Garage Band there is no sound recorded, apart from any taps / movement of the mic wire. Do I need to download a driver? None of the options on Behringer seem to cater to my mac, but I was told it would all be compatible. Any help would be so appreciated!

Hi H_P_DM, you do not need to install additional drivers.
have you checked that your audio input settings are set to the Behringer UMC22 interface in your GarageBand preferences?

Hi H_P_DM,
can you paste a screenshot of your garageband window?
Here are the possible things I would check
Hardware
Audio Interface
Garageband
Could it be the Record level is turned down too low
Hi! Thank you so much for your response.
I've changed the audio input to USB Codec which is the option there for the audio interface, however on the settings for the Mac, the mic pics up no sound when I do a mic test?
Hi gbekeloluwa,
Thank you for this - I really appreciate it!
As far as I'm aware none of the hardware is broken. However I've got the phantom power on, and the input signal blinks, but only when the XLR cable is moved or when I tap on the mic. When I try recording the only sound that is recorded is when the cable moves or the mic is tapped.
Hi there gbekeloluwa!
Just wanted to say I finally managed to sort the microphone out...by buying a new one! I think the other was broken.
Thank you for all your help though! I'm now trying to figure out why my GarageBand recordings have a crackling sound. Little by little!
I just checked and the recording level cannot be adjusted for an external sound card so that's not the problem 😅
