alright, so i've decided to ditch Sound Studio and just record with GarageBand. i'm having a problem though...

first of all, here's how i record:

bass > Digitech BP200 > Behringer amp > Avatar cab

from there, i run a cable from the "Line-Out" jack on the Behringer, then, with a 1/4"-1/8" converter, i plug it into my computer.

so, my problem is that once i record, the result is baredly audible. am i doing something wrong? should i use some sort of console or mixer to plug it into my computer? i don't really understand what's going on...

Hey, I'm not sure this will be much better, but I bought a xlr out to 1/8 in cord at the GC and it gave me a more saturated sound than i was getting with the 1/4 to 1/8 adapter.....I also go straight from the line out to the line in on my PC. I'm still a noob at recording as well but i was using pretty much the same gear as you are except i'm using a hartke amp with a balanced line out. I hope this helps.
Peace

Yay! I get to do a volume level walkthrough!

First, double click your volume icon in the bottom right. That will bring up the "Volume Control" mixer. This only affects what comes through your computer speakers, though.

Click "options" then "properties". Now hit "recording" and OK.

NOW you have the "Recording Control" mixer for recording. Here you can raise or lower levels to your heart's content, as well as select sources to record from.

Enjoy!
