Garageband recording

Garageband not detecting audio for mic or instruments. I tried going into system preferences as well as garageband to change input but was unsuccessful. Input signal is also detected in system preferences, so I think GarageBand is solely not detecting incoming audio. If I could receive help asap I would greatly appreciate it

MacBook Air, iOS 12.1

there are new security settings in the latest OS to prevent apps from secretly using input devices; check the security settings in System Prefs and make sure that GB has permission to use your interface/mic.


here's a screen shot from another user showing permission being given to the internal mic:
