Jan 30, 2017 For some reason my sound input isn't picking up at all, sure I can play with it through Normalisation but i much prefer to do that at the end once i'm happy with the raw vocals. My current set up is: A 5 year old Shure PG48 An Alesis Core 1 Sound Interface Standard XLR cable 2009 iMac with El Capitan Audacity 2.1.2 via.DMG installer GarageBand.
