1 Audio Interface IN to Multiple TRACKS

I don't know if this is possible but I sort of have it working.
I would like this device:
USB Audio Interface IN - Guitar
To record AND monitor to these tracks at the same time:
Track 1 - Guitar L1
Track 2 - Guitar L2
Track 3 - Guitar R1
Track 3 - Guitar R2
The problem:
I can monitor 2 tracks at a time but when I click on one of the other tracks only Track 1 continues to monitor and the focus of the monitoring of Track 2 for example would go to the Track # that I've clicked on.
Why?
I am doing this because I noticed if I apply the same Guitar Rig effects to all 4 tracks but tweak the EQ for each of the tracks from the Logic Pro X plugin I have a live studio quality guitar sound without having to record the tracks individually.
Is anyone doing this?? Maybe I need an audio aggregate? I'm afraid it's going to be a limitation to Logic Pro X.

Thanks, but this information is just for editing Volume, Pan, etc... but I need editing the takes.
Example:
1.- I have two tracks for the electric guitar:
- first track is clean and it's recording directly to the audio interface (for line)
- second track is drive and it's recording with a mic
2.- The recording in both tracks is in the same time.
3.- After that, I want to make differents attemps or audio takes (with the option punch)
4.- After that, I need to choose the best parts in the recording audio takes and I need make this task in the same time for the both tracks.
There is some option in Logic Pro X ?

Logic Pro X - How do I record my voice over existing tracks (via a mike and audio interface) without hearing those tracks on the speaker. I have headphones plugged into the interface but it doesn't stop in coming out of the speakers?

I'm new to Logic Pro X and can't work out how to record my voice over existing tracks without them playing over the speaker. I'm using a Sure mike through an audio interface and have headphones plugged into the interface?

Hi Kevin, what kind of audio interface do you have?

Audio interface for recording 2 tracks at once

What are my Audio Interface options for recording two tracks at once on my Macbook? What have you had success with?
Thanks

I'm sure you will get numerous recommendations - what you want really is an Apogee Duet... it's the best thing you'll find for the price and it sounds great...
I use an Edirol FA-66 with a MacBook with no problems at all, except it sounds a bit "thin"...

Audio interface being a 24 track...?

I have a Tascam 24 track mixer, can i hook it up to my computer via a midi cable and use it for my overall interface needs? Will it be professional quality? good quality? bad quality? has anyone tried this?
Help please,
Thanks

That kind of depends on whether the Tascam mixer you have is actually an interface.
Tascam has been making mixing consoles since 1971, IIRC, and only made A/D interfaces for the past twelve years or so.
You can get an expansion card for something like the DM-3200 digital mixing console ( http://tascam.com/product/dm-3200/ ) to turn that into a 24-channel audio interface. Total cost around $4200, excluding taxes. I suspect this is not what you're talking about.
Or do you have something like the M-2524 - a 24-channel analog console with MIDI muting? That's a mixer, not an interface, and there is nothing you can do to turn it into an interface. You can use MIDI to remotely mute individual channels, but that doesn't give you digital audio.
MIDI is just control data, not an audio signal.
You can, of course, +hook up+ the mixer to an audio interface, and use the console to route up to 24 channels down to however many busses/outputs the mixer has.
I use a Tascam M-2516 to route the 32 input channels (16 regular + 16 inline) to the 8 busses, which are hooked up to the eight inputs on one of my audio interfaces.

Way to control audio key frames across multiple tracks in one fell swoop?

Hi everybody. Let's say I have 5 layers of audio, and I want to key frame levels and fades across all of them. Is there a way to sync the tracks such that, any changes I make to one will apply to all? Ala, the way one makes changes to both tracks in a stereo pair in one fell swoop.

Nest the sequence and make the moves on the resulting "mixed-down" audio. All audio should appear as a simple stereo pair in the nest. Adjust here.

Using an audio interface with multiple inputs

Hi,
I'm currently facing an issue where I need to be able to use the audio from a microphone and a keyboard through Skype calling. I have them both plugged in to a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 audio interface. The problem is that only the microphone plugged into input 1 seems to be coming through, as if Skype will only address one channel of the interface. Is there any way around this or a different method you have used in a similar situation?
Thanks,

I stumbled upon this thread in searching for some deeply hidden feature in Skype, but alas, there may not be a fix within Skype. I realize the parent topic is very old, but I hope this can hope anyone in need of a solution (or get skype to incorporate some sort of summing feature).
That being said, there is an alternative for those of us with interfaces that have fully customizable routing. Fully customizable routing, and more than your standard two (stereo) outputs, and at least one more input than you need in total for microphones.
What we're going to have to do for our podcast (one member is on vacation, states away), is hook all microphones into inputs that are not input 1. As far as I can tell, Skype will only recognize input 1. In your interface's output routing software, you will need to create a submix/monitor mix (whatever they will call it) that sums (combines) all of the microphones together. While you have the ability to add the software/daw return to this mix, you typically will not want to, as it could create feedback for the person joining the conversation via skype.
After you have created this submix/monitor mix (and be sure to double/triple check that input 1 is not involved with this mix at all) you will assign this to an auxiliary output... so say, your interface has 4 outputs, assign it to output 3. Then lead a cable from the physical output 3 into the physical input 1 on your interface.
What this accomplishes is we're effectively sending all microphones into input 1, so your Skype recipient will be able to hear a mixdown of all microphones. Certain interfaces will also allow you to do this routing without cabling.
There are more things to keep in mind, like if you're recording the call, you'll want to run a parallel output from your Main DAW/Software return into another physical input, but again, quadruple-check that you are not monitoring that track into your main buss as it would create a horrible feedback loop. Generally I'd have the caller record their audio through Audacity or something free, but getting their recording on my end makes for syncing the call to the room recording so much easier... SO MUCH.
TL;DR
1) Make sure you have more than 2 outputs, and 1 more input than you would normally need for mic's.
2) Plug microphones into inputs 2 and on, saving input 1.
3) Use interface's software/routing mixer to sum all microphone inputs (EXCEPT 1) to an unused physical output.
4) Route or connect that output into Input 1.
0-5) For the love of all audio gods, make sure you are double checking to avoid feedback.
I also recognize that with the appearance of things like WavTap and Soundflower that there are other solutions -- but this is one option for those of us that do not wish to explore those options.

Cannot record any sound with my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra audio interface

Have been using Logic for about 3 months and was able (primarily via keyboards/midi recording) to create some decent recordings (via the 'hard' way, some books, video training and without bothering a lot of people with many of my questions). Time has come to start with analog audio recording and here my problem starts. Have recently purchased the Fast Track Ultra audio interface from M-Audio.
Drivers are installed correctly. The device is saying that it functions properly. It gets recognized by my iMAC. It gets recognized in Logic and can enable the device in my audio preferences. I can clearly see in the control panel of my USB audio interface it is creating sound and meters are going up and down.
I get sound in my head phones (which are connected to the audio interface) but within Logic no sound is coming in while with the build in microphone everything seems to work fine. Have played around all kind of settings in my audio/midi configuration utility but no result.
Who can help me out ?
Thanks in advance.
Jozef.

Have done a test within Garageband and it works correctly overthere

Using M-Audio Fast Track C400 Audio Interface for FaceTime but only input 1 audio is coming through?...

I'm trying to use my M-Audio interface for FaceTime/U Stream for music purposes. I'm a professional recording artist and I'd like to do some "live stream" concerts for fans from home. I have my keyboard in input 1 and my microphone in input 2. Both signals come through just fine when I'm using Garageband or Logic, but for some reason when I select the interface as the "microphone" option when streaming, only audio from input one is heard from my viewers. I've also switched the keyboard and mic to rule out the mic being the problem, but then the mic audio comes through and not the keyboard...I'm wondering if I'm missing some minute setting somewhere?...I don't understand why it's only for video chat applications that it's only receives one channel of audio...Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Are you using Logic 8 or 9?
What are you trying to hear Logic's output through?
If you're expecting audio output through built-in audio, and you're using Logic 9, make sure your Fast Track is set as the input device, and built-in audio is set for the output device (both in Logic's audio preferences)
However, if you're using Logic 8 or 7, you need to create an aggregate device if you're using built-in output.
Details here:

OR
use the FastTrack's audio outputs to drive your monitoring, NOT your built-in audio.

Playing music on iPhone 5, multiple tracks lose audio partway into the song

When playing music on my iPhone 5, multiple tracks lose audio partway into the song, even though the track is still playing.
I have tried re-syncing music to the phone several times. This will fix the problem for some tracks, but then re-create the problem in other tracks. Also, I have switched from syncing the entire library to only syncing a few playlists at a time. What can I do?

Multi cam sequence - how to take audio from multiple tracks?

I have a multi cam sequence with multiple audio sources (cameras plus separate audio tracks).
According to this page, in order to have multiple audio sources, I need to mix them into a track in the source sequence:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WSADF1BC06-B8FB-4f23-8446-8D8F8539D7BD.html
So I mixed several tracks into submix 1. But when I use the multi cam monitor, submix 1 is not available as an audio source.
Is it perhaps possible to mix audio into a non submix track? If so, how?
premiere cs4

Multicam can only use audio 1, or audio follows video (you hear whichever track you see). There's no way to hear more than one track at a time.

Record to multiple tracks - no audio

I have a simple, 2-track project that I want to mix into one ("record audio to multiple tracks simultaneously"). I basically just need to ride levels on one track while the other track level stays static.
TK1: music
TK2: dialog
I then arm Tracks 3 and 4 to record and then I hit Record (CMD-R). When the :30 music bed is done playing thru and I listen back to the resulting audio on 3 and 4, I hear nothing.
I suspect there are issues with my settings in the Recording tab which are as follows:
Input: Built-in Input
Stereo
1 and 2 are selected and 3,4,5,6 are grayed out.
Monitor is set to "None"
Why am I not getting my recorded audio?
Thanks for tips!

I'm kind of confused as to what you are trying to do here.
Do you already have the two tracks in STP, and you need a mix of them? If so, you can just automate the levels with volume envelopes, then export the mix. (Make sure that submix 1 is set for stereo (1-2) not surround (1-6).)
If you're not trying to do that, what are you trying to do? When you record the built-in input, that means you are recording something which is connected to the built-in input on your mac. If the source you are trying to record is the software or other software on the mac, you can't do it with STP alone.
Hope this helps!

Multi-camera audio with multiple tracks

In Premier Pro 2 I was somehow able to use the automation features to adjust levels throughout my videos on multiple tracks, and that mix would flow through to the multi-camera sequence.
It didn't work in Premier Pro 3.1.1 when I just tried it. I then noticed that the help file says "In order to retain audio from more than one track simultaneously, mix all the desired tracks to a single track in the source sequence, select the resulting audio track, and deselect the Audio Follows Video option."
I opened my old projects in 3.1.1 and the multiple tracks still play in the multi-camera sequence.
1: How was I able to do this before and can I still do it?
2: If I must mix all tracks to a single track in the source sequence, how do I do that? I can't figure that out.

You have two choices, either you can hear the audio for the selected camera, or just audio track 1. You can't hear all audio tracks simultaneously without a little tweaking.
Once you're done with the multicam cut, place another instance in the new sequence on tracks 2. Then delete the video from track 2, and move the audio from track 2 onto track 1. This will allow all audio tracks from the original sequence to be heard.

Fast Track M-Audio Interface

Can you record into GarageBand using the Fast Track M-Audio Interface?

I have Fast Track Pro but Garage Band isn't recognizing it. When I go to add a real track, the only input source available is the built-in mic. How do I get the M-Audio to be recognized in garage band? It plays through the speakers without a problem. Also, Is there a way to make it play louder? This interface plays way lower even at it's max than when the speakers are playing directly from the computer.
Thanks

How do you convert a single audio file into multiple tracks?

Ive got a cassette tape that I captured. Now I want that single file to be chopped up into multiple tracks.
from there, can we burn to cd with the multi tracks? or do we need another cd burner program?
also the only way Ive been able to get rid of big pops is highlight them and cut them out. the automated processes have not been able to do this for me.
is there a procedure somewhere for this that I can follow?
thanks for your assistance.
best, M/

Jimi
this is exactly what I did with a previous cd. I thought it seemed like the long way round.
was hoping for a more automated solution.
when I came from XP land, I used to use Premiere Pro 2.0 and there was a Pro editing software that came with the Premiere suite, I forgot what it was called, but it did that automatically after adding markers and it was way better at eliminating clicks and pops.
there was a view you could use where you could see the annoying noises by looking at it using several differnt views (like looking at an infared image).
definetly had its advantages but I could not keep XP running. I got errors, blue screens, viruses, spywares, costs lots of money to fix an lots of downtime.
so far the mac as worked without any major glitches (touching wood)
best, M/

Multiple audio streams for 1 video track

Hi I have a few different sountracks I want to use with one video asset.
I want to avoid duplicating the video track and putting a version of the audio in it.
If I have an Audio tab in my menus with music and lyrics, one with instrumental only and a dolby 5.1 surrond
how do i target the buttons to choose different audio as i click on the 5.1 let's say, it will choose to play stream #3 5.1 surrond.
Been looking in the manual but could't find anything.
Any help is appreciated
thanx
jm

Sorry about the links -:(
Anyway follow these steps and it should work (one approach, not difficult to do, I just wrote the steps in small bites )
Press F3 Key so we are looking at the same layout in DVD SP
1.) Make a menu with two buttons, label them Audio A and Audio B
2.) Make a Track (the "TRACK")
3.) Place your video on the video portion of the TRACK
4.) Place your Audio A on A1 track and Audio B on the A2 track
5.) Drop a chapter marker at the end of the TRACK (one should be at the begininng of the track by default)
6.) Click Add Story from the top Bar for the TRACK
7.) Name that story Story A, add the first Chapter Marker to the Story
8.) In inspector for Story A deselect/remove check marks for all audio except for 1 (uncheck 2-7)
9.) Duplicate Story A as Story B
10.) In inspector for Story B deselect/remove check marks for all audio except for 2 (uncheck 1, 3-7)
11.) Set Button 1 from menu to Story A, Button 2 story B
Note that this method will not allow toggling between the audio. A quick way to permit toggling is to do as above, but have both Audios (1 & 2) checked in steps 8 & 10
Create a script called PRESTORYA and set it as a prescript for Story B, with the following:
Set System Stream AU(Audio Stream 1)
Create a script called PRESTORYB and set it as a prescript for Story B, with the following:
Set System Stream AU(Audio Stream 2)
FWIW the links worked just now (downloads a zip file directly to HD, take a look in activity window in Safari, maybe there for you?)
