Scarlett 4i4 with Garageband on iMac 2020

I can hear and record with Mic using inputs 1&2 but can't hear or record guitar using the same inputs. Sounds like the guitar is way back in the distance and somebody is unplugging it and plugging back in and distorted, nothing cohesive! Please help! HELP!


Many thanks

iMac 27″, macOS 14.4
