The microphone is connected correctly and recognized by both Audacity and my MacBook.

However, when I try to record in Audacity, the recordings come back blank -- it doesnt pick up any audio whatsoever.

This is 100 a software issue, since my microphone works perfectly on GarbageBand (which I really, REALLY dont want to use).

If you go to their homepage they have a workaround with a terminal command.

Ugh. This is so frustrating.
