First, I am a classical musician--I play the oboe. I am working on a project to get a few of my orchestral colleagues together on JK. Quite a few versions of tech among the players, and not a lot of knowledge about how it all fits together. So, it is up to me to do the testing and figure it out. I appreciate any guidance anyone can offer.
I am on an iMac (mid-2017), Catalina, max memory. I am currently testing several interfaces including Focusrite Scarlet Solo 3rd gen, Focusrite 2i2, and Blue Yeti USB mic alone. DAW is Garage Band. Blackhole is installed and Aggregated Device using Blackhole is set up in Audio Midi Setup.
First question--will this even work with Garage Band?
My first test is using the Blue Yeti. As a bit of background on this interface, I was successful in setting up a Pianist with this mic and we played a short session together with good result (I was also on a Blue Yeti). It works fine in JK.
GB is running. Input is the Blue Yeti and output is Aggregated Device (using Blackhole) that I set up in Audio Midi Setup.
JK is running. Input is Blackhole (not the AD?) and output is the Blue Yeti (Headphones plugged into the onboard headphone jack).
Sound from GB coming in loud and clear. No indication of any input making it into JK (DB indicator is dormant).
I am not clear on what you mean by "starting a short loop". Why wouldn't my playing make it from GB to JK without a loop playing first?
Many thanks again for any help you can offer.
Mike
