I have an annoying delay on my guitar input when I use Garageband. I'm connecting via USB. Can anyone help?

I connect my guitar to my computer via a phono to USB adaptor. The GarageBand software works okay but there is about a second delay on the input signal. Is this normal?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Hello haydnj1,


It sounds like you are getting some input lag when playing your guitar and recording it in garageband. This article explains a bit why that may be happening with instructions to adjust the quantization of a track to help:


GarageBand '11: If there’s a delay between when you play and when you hear the sound


Here is the updated quantization link for Garageband 10 if you are using that version:
