Trying to help my son record some music during this lockdown. Dusted off my UX2 and hooking it up to his macbook air. So many issues. Finally got drivers installed, switched audio input in settings to UX2... switched audio input in garageband to ux2. But I can't get keyboard sounds to record. Using quarter-inch cable out of keyboard into UX2. Then USB into mac. I've tried multiple 1/4" cables, so that's not the issue. I know USB works because garageband knows the UX2 is plugged in. I created a "real instrument" track-- but whether I plug audio cable into instrument port, or into line inputs 1 or 2, no matter how loudly I pound on the keyboard, the meters on the UX2 don't budge, and there's no audio recorded on garageband. Coming out of keyboard's line output. Have also tried headphone output. Neither work. Any suggestions?

Sorry, meant imac, not ipad or phone. But good info, thank you both.

Hi. I'm sure this has been answered, but I've searched repeatedly in the forums and can't find it. I've got my Variax. I'd like to record into Garage Band without having to buy a mixer or pod or what have you. Is there a way to get the guitar to record directly in Garage Band via the cable? No, I haven't tried it yet as I don't have the interface cable and will need to buy one, so asking before going down that road. Thanks!
