After installing macOS Mojave or later, you might see an alert that says audio input isn't accessible when trying to record. Or you might not hear sound, see waveforms, or see audio meters move when recording. To record audio, allow the app to access audio inputs:

  1. Close the app you're using to record audio.
  2. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click Privacy.
  3. Click Microphone.
  4. Select the checkbox next to an app to allow it to access the built-in microphone on your Mac, an external USB mic, or the inputs on an external audio interface.
  5. Open the app and try to record audio again.

After installing macOS Mojave on your Mac, you might not be able to record audio in Logic Pro X, MainStage, GarageBand, Final Cut Pro X, or third-party audio and video apps.

GarageBand is a fully equipped music creation studio inside your Mac — with a complete sound library that includes instruments, presets for guitar and voice, and an incredible selection of session drummers and percussionists.

That is a good question. As a matter of fact, there is a way to install an older version. It involves downloading GarageBand in iTunes on your computer first so it will be associated with your Apple ID account, and then going to the App Store on your iPad and downloading GarageBand should yield the option to download an older version. I have been able to output audio from my iPad and record it into GarageBand on my MacBook Pro. I can then edit the audio in GarageBand on the MacBook. I have been unable, however, to go the other way, that is I have been unable to send audio out of may MacBook and record it in iOS GarageBand on the iPad. Dec 10, 2017  I get the impression, that you want GarageBand for free, correct? All of the Apps that were once called iLife were offered free with new iPad mini. The first time you entered your Apple ID, a dialogue box appeared asking if you wanted to download a list of Apps. Using third‑party external musical instruments with GarageBand requires devices made for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The Alchemy synth is available on iPhone 6 or later, iPad Pro, iPad (5th generation), iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 4. Multitrack recording requires a compatible third‑party audio interface. /ipad-that-is-garageband-compatable.html.

Start a song anywhere on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, then import it wirelessly to your Mac to take it even further. Remotely add new tracks to your project using GarageBand on your iPhone or iPad.

If you're using an external microphone or an external audio interface to record audio and it's still not working, check with the manufacturer of your device for software updates and information on compatibility.
