Hi, Keith,


I figured it out. When I tapped on the mic, I could hear it coming through the Yamaha studio monitors. When I hit the red icon or R, and tapped, the recording did not pick it up; I couldn't hear it on the playback. Then I started to speak loudly in to mic while recording. I could hear my voice in the playback. I concluded that there was a mic problem.

Just now, I went into System prefences - Sounds. I checked the microphone setting and put it on USB.

Problem solved.


I've made a note of it for future reference.

Thanks for your help. It help me familiarize myself with the GB settings.

Cheers,

Jim
