Hello,

Here is what my setup looks like. Does yours look similar? (I have a MIDI controller connected to my computer via a UM1 MIDI interface).







When you play your controller, you should hear what you are playing and see the notes as you are playing them on the Band-in-a-Box on-screen keyboard - even if you aren't recording.

If you don't see/hear the notes, recheck your CoreMIDI setup dialog and make sure it is similar to the first screenshot above, with a MIDI interface connected to a controller - then restart Band-in-a-Box.

If it still isn't working, and everything seems to be set up correctly, try resetting the Band-in-a-Box preferences. To do this, you can quit Band-in-a-Box, and open the \Applications\Band-in-a-Box folder. Make a duplicate of the preferences folder (to save as a backup), then delete all the files from the Preferences folder. Re-open Band-in-a-Box, set up the MIDI drivers and see if it works now.

Also, in GarageBand, are you sure that it is MIDI (i.e. Software Instrument) being recorded? e.g.:
