garagebandrecording
I've recorded some audio from an external mic and an acoustic guitar with a mic. I can hear it just fine when I play it back, but in the visualization it is almost invisible. There are just some really small bumps on the otherwise straight line.
Is it possible to adjust the scale of the visualization?
I found this eHow video. I couldn't get it to load on my computer (it's slow because I'm rendering video in FCE). I also found this article. I'm not sure if that'll help or not.
According to this article:
There is some code somewhere in GarageBand that allows you to expand the number of icons you can use. But dog if I know where it is. There are two things you can do, either spring for a JamPack and let it automatically expand your icons, or replace ugly or stupid icons (there are plenty) with the ones you want. As to the "How to", go to the link below and download my custom icons and directions to accomplish this. http://garritan.com/GPO-GarageBandPage.html Here is a direct link... http://garritan.com/support/GB_Icon_Set.zip To make your own icons, just open one of the triads in Photoshop and then save as a tif file.
As Wheat noted below, the links are dead, but you can download the icon set here (go Wayback Machine!) The other link is here on Wayback Machine.

Inside The Lines
LineIn is a simple application for OS X to enable the soft playthru of audio from input devices. In simpler terms, you can use LineIn to play sound coming in through a microphone or any other device plugged in to your Sound In port, just as was once available with OS 9's "Play input through output device" option.
Best Answer
If you double click the track it will open the track editor which is a larger view that can be adjusted. Other than that I don't think GarageBand has that ability (unlike Logic).
