Garageband Volume Line Flat

[PacifistsAtWar]

Im recording through a presonus firestudio project and when I record the drums using the stereo 1/2 inputs it works fine but when i record guitar or vocals through mono 3, 4 and 5 the little line in the track in garageband that shows the volume is completely flat. It plays it fine but the volume line doesnt show anything. does anyone know why this is or how i could fix it? thanks.

I've never used Garageband but it sounds like maybe your monitor feedback is muted

what do you mean monitor feedback? theres a little button below the input selection that says monitor and you can switch it on and off. it was off, would that be it?

I'm confused... are you saying it's recording the audio, but not displaying the visual waveform in the track? I'm not a GarageBand user either, but I've had something similar happen in SONAR randomly. If it's happening consistently it probably has to do with some setting in GB or your interface...

ya exactly

Monitor feedback is just the playback of what you're recording.. There should be a monitor setting for the input or device, check around in the settings
