yeah that's what I do, I open podfarm on its own, without riffworks being opened and I can see the mic 1 ect section above input A and B, however when I click mic 1, nothing changes. it still says in the drop box... instrument, not mic. I never used to use podfarm, I used guitar port years ago. and just simply plugged in a mic, and started recording acoustic straight. I just need to know if I need podfarm to rn a mic for riffworks. because all I want to use is riffworks, for recording an acoustic guitar!
