Focusrite Scarlett issues with GB

Hello All,

For those who play guitar though a Scarlett interface into GarageBand, can you please advise on my issue?

This morning it was working fine. I came back from lunch and no matter what I do I CANNOT get any signal from my guitar to GarageBand. The ring on the Scarlett lights up when I play - so the guitar/scarlett connection is fine. GarageBand recognises this Scarlett too. But the meter doesn’t move when I play and indeed nothing gets recorded.

I’ve quadruple checked the inputs and outputs. I’ve killed the core audio in the terminal. I’ve rebooted the Mac. I’ve done seemingly everything but no luck in getting it to pick up guitar signal.

Any help appreciated! Thanks

Hello all. Really pleased with my steel guitar and all the changes go to pitch perfectly. However the following 2 changes annoy me: 10th string A pedal raise (B -> C#) and 3rd string B pedal raise (G#->A) this is because they have absolutely no free play whatsoever! Not even a nanometer! If you put a grain of sand on either of those the string would start to raise - that’s how sensitive it is.

I looked at the bell crank holes and they’re in positions 1 and 2 (out of 4) (in terms of proximity to the cross shaft), which is odd because the “good” raises on the 5th and 6th strings respectively are in bell crank positions 2 and 1. So it’s not to do

with that?

My question then is - how can I get a satisfactory level of free play in these changes?

Lmk if you need photos or more info! Guitar is Emmons Legrande all pull.

Thanks so much!
