any ideas? thanks again

I don't use garage band, so take this with a grain of salt…but you should be able to adjust the input gain somewhere. It might be in the Audio/MIDI Setup Utility or in GB's preferences somewhere. Turning up the channel volume wouldn't do anything, because it just adjusts GB's playback volume.

The Audio MIDI Setup should have an input gain control for that sound card…if GB doesn't have an input gain somewhere, use that.

Yeah the only way I have been able to adjust the input volume is by not using traktor and ripping vinyl as before. I was just looking for a set up I didn't have to keep exchanging cables depending on what I wanted to do.

why would you need to move cables?

because I was running vinyl as a thru in traktor...however couldnt adjust levels and it would be way too quiet in garageband.

so just stopped using traktor and put an out from my mixer to the in on the audio 10 instead, and that way I could adjust levels.

I'm confused. Like…extremely confused. Why aren't you just sending the TT into the Audio 8 and straight into garage band from there? Why is your mixer in the signal path?

seriously fuck garage band

Was going to post the same thing! Use Audacity to digitize your vinyl.

And like others have said save in .wav format.

Why not just record in traktor and the cut and chop in a DAW as needed? You can't bring WAV files into garageband?
