Can I record multiple tracks simultaneously in v. 1.1?

Hey, I found some instructions online about how to record multiple tracks simultaneously in version 3, but I can't figure out how to do it in the old version I have, 1.1. Any help is appreciated. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this feature wasn't implemented later. I have a two-mic setup for podcasts, and need to record both on diff. tracks.

Multi-track recording was added in v2
From STP 2 Manual - New Features:
Multitrack Recording
With Soundtrack Pro 2, you can record across multiple tracks in the Timeline. (This is limited only by your hardware setup.)
So, not available in v1
Have you tried Garageband?

  • How can I record multiple tracks simultaneously?

    How can I record multiple tracks simultaneously?  Or rather what hardware do I need to do this?  I currently run guitars and mic into a PA and then the PA into Garageband.  But this is just one track.  I want to record the guitar as one track while simultaneously recording vocals as another track.  What hardware do you suggest - keeping it affordable?

    if you want to use your two chanel PA, pan 1 channel to the left, and the other to the right, and set one GB track to Mono 1 and the other to mono 2.
    if you want better quality, any two channel interface will work:

  • How can I record 2 tracks simultaneously in GarageBand for iOS?

    I am trying to record 2 tracks at the same time, one, a line in for my guitar and the other a vocal mic. I am using an Alesis i/o Dock with my iPad Air 2, everything is updated, and everything is plugged in correctly. When I select either track from the multitrack screen, I can see that both work appropriately. However, when I hit the record button, the screen goes from the multitrack view to the track that is 'highlighted' and the record process goes from there. So if the 'amp' (guitar) track is highlighted, the app take me from the view with both on it to the 'guitar amp' selection, showing the head that I selected. Now, in the past, I have recorded 2 tracks at the same time. I still have the original recording showing both tracks and their settings. Even when I try to match the setting (both were on Left Channel, for example) it doesn't work. On my recent attempt to record (the one this question is about) I put the mic track on Right Channel and the line in on Left Channel, and vice versa. I tried putting them both on the same thinking that maybe that's what I did before because the app might not be able to do both Channels at the same time. I tried using the Mic track in stereo and the Line In on Left and tried it on Right; nothing. Has GarageBand taken this feature out on iOS? I do see if I had a Mac there is an 'Enable Multirack Recording' box to check, but I don't see anything like that for iOS... Can anyone help??

    in one the YouTube Tutorials, it is not possible in iOS. but hopefully in the later version it should be.

  • Will a USB or FireWire mixer allow me to record multiple tracks simultaneously in GB?

    Hi there. I'm very much new to home recording but have an acoustic guitar and mic that I'd like to connect up to my iMac. I was wondering if a USB or FireWire mixer would allow me to record each instrument as an individual track in GB or would the sound all be compressed into one track? Many thanks for your help.

    yes, but if all you need are two tracks, even an analogue mixing console will work. a tutorial:

  • I record multiple tracks (3-5) from real instruments and vocals. I want to send these files to a collaborator to add more tracks to, but Garageband wants to mix these down (which I don't want). How can I send the multiple tracks files to my friend?

    I record multiple tracks of real instruments and vocals wth Garage Band. I want to share the file with a collaborator so he can add another instrument or two. I have not found a way to do this without the process mixing down the tracks. I don't want them mixed down like when I send them to Itunes. Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes. I thought I saw a method to do this with software instruments, but how do you do it with real instruments? I've tried every process on the "export" list to try to accomplish this, without success. Thanks for any breakthrough advice on this!

    As isteveus said - for large projects uploading to a server would be best.
    Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes.
    But for completeness's sake , you cou can mail a project, if you ctrl-click the project and use "Compress xxx.band". This will compress the project and create a zip file, that you can mail (if it is not too large). But ask your friend for the maximal file size allowed as a mail attachment.
    But whichever method you use to share your project, be sure you include all loops and instruments, if your friend does not have the same JamPacks installed. You can bundle the loops into the project by saving it as an archive. "File > Save as" and check the "Archive Project" option.
    If this option should be disabled, you can force it to become active by editing your project slightly. It is only available, if the project needs saving.

  • Trying to record multiple tracks (24) in Garageband with 3 presonus firestudio devices daisy-chained together.

    Please help !! I can record multiple tracks (8) on a single presonus firestudio, but now I'm trying to expand the number of tracks to 24 by daisy-chaining three firestudio devices.
    The three units will sync up properly, and Garageband detects all of the input channels, but the recording doesn't pick up the input signals for the 2nd or 3rd device. It only picks up the signals from the first device. I read the manual and daisy-chained the devices by serial number (lowest to highest).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    you'll need to create an aggregate device:

  • Recording 2 tracks simultaneously?????

    I'm having trouble recording 2 tracks simultaneously in Logic Pro 7. I'm recording a podcast and want to record 2 separate mic's, one for each host.
    I have the Lexicon Lambda audio recording interface.
    For some reason i cant figure out how to select "Input 2" for my "Track 2". I guess that's really all i need to know how to do........ select "Input 2". I've seached throughout the program and clicked everywhere and just cant seem to figure out how to select it. I click on the bar that says "Input 1", but nothing happens.
    Even if i do figure out how to select "Input 2" (which i think i did one night), will i be able to record 2 tracks at once, using 2 different inputs?
    This is driving me nuts......... it seems so easy, but i just cant figure it out!!!
    Thank you!! Love you!!!!!!

    So I've made progress..... In the menu of the Audio window on the left where it says "Channel: Track 2", I click on the little arrows and I am able to select "Input 2". But then the window underneath the Audio window (the window with the level meter) changes a bit.
    I am able to highlight the record button on both tracks 1 and 2, and i'm showing separate volume readings for each...... so everything is good so far.
    The problem comes when i actually hit record. I hit record, and the cursor runs, but nothing gets recorded. No waveforms pop up. I've figured that this only happens when i have "Input 2" selected.
    Track 1 still will record, but only if it's record button is highlighted by itself.
    This is driving me insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I have noticed that in any track that i have "Input 2" selected, the little snowflake button dissapears, as well. This snowflake button is next to the mute and record buttons in the track window. I dont even know what this snowflake button does. Is it a "solo" button? Button. Button. Button.
    Does anybody know what is going on??
    Do I need to select some kind of "Stereo" setting or something in my Preferences?
    Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Recording software tracks simultaneously in 10.3 is not working for me

    How do I record software tracks simultaneously on 10.0.3? When I press the record button on each software instrument track and press record on the main, it only records the highlighted track even though I hear both instruments.

    A few dozen have looked so I may not be alone. Yet no one has offered a suggestion? I am still at 10.2.2.214 and iPhone on iOS 4.2.1. iTunes takes very long time to open 3+ minutes and does not respond when  device connected then fails to see any device connnected. Will Apple address or fail to fiind this issue? two years ago a few months passed and few upgrades then iPhone was recognized. All worked fine until last month with10.2 update. What are my options here? Please I have gone through ideas presented here for amonth, get one or two to work for a day and then fail after that. I would like to get stable operation of iTnes and then I'll leave things alone. I really do find the 3GS a good buy right now but, with no iTunes why buy it?

  • Recording multiple tracks WITHOUT overdubbing

    I understand that for some reason the way you record multiple takes in Logic is to just record over your previous take. But consider the following scenario:
    I record a keyboard take.
    With me so far?
    Now I want to record a second take, but first I want to play some more over the other tracks without hearing the take I just recorded. I can't just mute the track because I need to hear my playing. I can't delete the track because I want to keep it. I basically just want to create a blank take two, play some more, and then record into that second take once I know what I want to play. Make sense?
    In Digital Performer or Pro Tools this is easy. As far as I can tell, in Logic it's impossible. But I just can't accept they would actually design the software this way. It's just too stupid. Can this really not be done in Logic?

    Then just press play and play the keyboard along with the first take and the rest of the track.  Record it when you know what you are playing.
    If you want to you can mute the first take that should look like this:

  • How to record multiple tracks together?

    Ok, completely new to garage band, but I don't see why this is so difficult to figure out. I get how to record a track, and then play it as a loop. But how do I then record something new WITH that loop, so that the two tracks play together (and not just record over it, deleting the first track). For example, how can I record a rhythm part on the guitar, stop it, hit the loop button, and then record a solo over it? Everytime I try this it either records over the first recording (deleting it), or even though it looks like its recording when I stop and hit play I am still only hearing the first track. Very frustrating...
    Thanks!!!!

    You create a second track for the solo and record to the second track, then play both tracks together. 
    Use the "Record enable" button in the track header to enable only the solo guitar track for recording, once your rhythm loop has been recorded.

  • Trying to record multiple tracks at once with Mixer (Two Microphones)

    I have a Alesis Multimix 4, and two microphones plugged into the mic 1 and mic two inputs.  I am trying to record both, at the same time, to two distinct tracks.  I set Device Class to ASIO in the Audio Hardware section, and delected ASIO4ALL v2 for the Device.  My mixer (I assume) is showing up as USB Aduio CODEC in the ASIO4ALL settings.  When I go back to my multitrack setting, I am given four options for incoming audio: 
    Audio Front Mic Input 1
    Audio Front Mic Input 2
    USB Audio CODEC 1
    USB Audio Codec 2
    No matter what combination I try, when I record, both tracks pick up both microphones.  My goal is to isolate both, so I can apply different settings to both tracks later on, adjust in the mix etc...   The audio only comes through when I pick the USB Audio option.  Thanks in advance.

    I think you've got the right driver selected, otherwise it wouln't work at all. The single most obvious thing to ask you though (I'm sorry if this is too basic) is where you have the pan controls set to? To get each mic to record on a single channel, you'd have to have one panned hard left and the other panned hard right. If you leave them both panned dead centre, that's exactly what you get - both mics on both channels.

  • How can i run multiple libraries simultaneously ?

    i work in music & post production, i tend to keep my listening music on my 60 gig ipod, & keep my main itunes library for sound fx & production masters...
    i understand i can create & change libraries but is there a way or app that will give me access to multiple libraries simultaneously ? id like 3 .. each accessing different drives without having to save, close, load or dump anything. ????

    I've found this:
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/ituneslibrarymanager.php
    But I'm having trouble determining whether they can run simultaneously. But, it's something for you to look into, at least.

  • How can I rename multiple files simultaneously

    I'm new to Macs and I'm looking for a way to rename multiple files simultaneously. These are photos from my SD card that I wish to give the same name but increment the name by 1 at the end of the filename.

    A Better Finder Rename is perfect for this.   I use it all the time to rename image files.
    There is also a companion app called A Better Finder Attributes that is also useful for image files.
