Garageband - not listing USB Midi Interface

The external keyboard is connected properly, and tested in MIDI Setup, drivers good. Garageband does not list my USB MIDI Interface, how do I fix this.

there should be nothing to fix.

only audio interfaces are displayed in the list of choices, MIDI connections are automatically detected if the device is Mac compatible.

in GB's prefs you should see "1 MIDI device detected"

I want to be able to record from the keyboard and play back through the keyboard from Garageband.

unfortunately GB does not support MIDI-OUT, so GB can't play your keyboard.

Garageband is not recognizing voice from the external Mic, only from the built-in internal Macbook Mic.

you need to select your mic in GB's prefs:

MOTU USB Fastlane Interface is compatible with Mac. Preferences/Audio/MIDI states "2 MIDI Inputs detected".

have you created a software track on which to record?

AS for Devices area the Output Device only lists System Settings, Built-in Output and DisplayPort

since you don't have any other output devices connected (e.g. an audio interface) that sounds right

Input Device lists System Settings, Built-in Microphone and Manycam Virtual Microphone.

what is the make/model of your external mic? how is it connected to your Mac?
