Newbie to Garageband
Hi,
I just purchased a new iMac recently as well as an M-Audio Fast Track MKii audio interface. I am a complete beginner to home recording, so I am just trying to figure out the basics of Garageband at this point. No user guide came with either Garageband or the M-Audio interface, so I'm having to learn what I can from what I can find online. One particular issue I need help with is with the interface. When I plug my electric guitar into the interface and set a specific amp and effects pedal in Garageband, I cannot hear what it sounds like when I play my guitar. All I can hear is the guitar with a clean tone through my Sony studio headphones (I don't have monitors at this point). When I record some music with the amp and effects pedal settings and play it back, I can hear the specific tone that I set. How do I set up Garageband so that I can actually hear the amp and effects pedal settings while I am playing my guitar without just hearing it when I play back something I recorded? I'm sure there has to be some setting that allows me to do that. Thanks for the help!
