Trying to record Acoustic + Vocals

[simonlittle18077 0]

Hi there,

 

Tried this years ago and gave up as I found it very confusing/frustrating....

 

I'm trying to use Garageband (OSX Mojave) and want to record vocals and guitar from the GB presets.  I do not want to use POD Farm.

 

I seem to have a guitar channel and vocal channel in GB but can't get vocals in one and guitar in the other to record at the same time.

 

Do I have to change some settings in the Line 6 Audio device in system preferences?

 

Please helllpppp!!!

 

Thanks

Simon

How are you getting the sound into your computer?  You will need a device with 2 separate inputs, then in GB select one input for 1 track , and the other input for the 2nd track.

so I'm using the Toneport UX1.  using the guitar and mic input on the front of the device

Ok, then in GB, you should be able to choose one input for one track, and the other for a 2nd track.

I suppose that's the thing, where in GB do I choose the different inputs?

 

So I've opened pod farm again and selected Dual - How in Pod Farm do I choose one preset (Vocal) for one input and a guitar preset for the other???

 

Thanks

I believe that’s done in the Pod Farm mixer page. You can choose Tone 1 and Tone 2 inputs separately. I’m not familiar with GB so don’t know exactly how you choose the record input source for the two tracks. Presumably there’s a way to choose PF Tone 1 and Tone 2 outputs independently.
