Microphone won't pick up sound?

I have purchased a AKG p120 microphone and no sound is picking up on garage band. In preferences- input- it just recognises it as a usb? Any suggestions

Isn't that a mic with XLR connection? How did you connect it to your computer?

Usually, you connect that mic to an audio interface and that is then connected (i.e. via USB) to your computer. You would check the mic signal first on the audio interface, then on the computer input (using the System Preferences - Sound - Input), and then in GarageBand.


Please provide a more detailed description what and how you connected your devices to better trouble shoot your problem


THanks


Hope that helps
