Help with recording 2 tracks at the same time

Basically I recently purchased an Audio Interface (BEHRINGER XENYX Q802 USB) and I'm having trouble recording multiple tracks at the same time while using it.
When I set up 2 MONO tracks in my DAW (one using input 1, the other using input 2) all that happens is that I get a recording of one mic over both tracks in my DAW.
This is probably a beginner post and I have looked it up on YouTube etc. but it just doesn't work for me... Maybe it has something to do with my Interface, but any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Pancenter,
Unfortunately I don't have the manual as I purchased it from a friend who failed to provide me with the Manual.
But thank you for answering as this was what I needed to do.
Many thanks
Olie.

How do i record 2 tracks at the same time.

i use a mixer to hook my mics into garageband, what i want to do is have 2 separate tracks and have them able to record at the same time. ive made separate tracks for each mic but i can only highlight one at a time to record so i need to figure out how i can have both tracks highlighted and giving me levels. if anyone can shed some light on this for me that would be great. i get the feel like theres a simple solution to this.

I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

Hi, I have this exact same problem. I haven't been using an iRig, just a cheap USB-jack cable. I managed to do this with the first cable I bought, but since it broke I've been unable to find a replacement that allows me to hear the drums while recording. DId you manage to get over this issue? If so I would really like to know how. Thanks and best wishes.

How can I record an Audio Instrument (saxophone) and listen to a reference track at the same time?

How can I record an Audio Instrument, and listen to a reference track at the same time?

Are you using an external audio controller or the line-in and headphone jacks on the side of your computer? You shouldn't have an issue using headphones when you're recording through the line-in but you may want to make sure you have monitoring on and it's going to the right place.
If you're using an external audio controller, try making an aggregate device combining the controller and the "built-in output" into the same device. Go to Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup, click the "+" sign at the bottom left to make a new device and check the "use" boxes to the left of the physical devices you want to use as part of that aggregate device. That is how I use the computer's speakers or headphones to monitor my input as opposed to only being able to use the output on my audio controller.
Now that I see some of the questions on the side of this page I realize that the 13" MBPs seem to have only one combined input/output jack... That is an incredibly stupid feature. What on Earth could possibly justify that design decision? I suppose if that's the problem you're having you'll have to buy some sort of splitter (if they even make them) or get an external audio controller like an Apogee Duet or something along those lines. I would be furious if they combined those two jacks on all of the MBPs.

Can Express 9 play and record multiple instruments at the same time?

I have logic express 9 and was told with my interface that I can play and record different instruments at the same time on Express 9. Is this true because I have spent a long time trying to figure out how.

Hi,
to record multiple Inputs at a time, open up the appropriate number of audio tracks. Now for each track, select the correct Input in the Channelstrip.
Now, ARM all these tracks for recording by clicking the little red R in the track header or channelstrip. Now if you hit record, all these tracks should record simultaneously their respective inputs.
All other existing tracks should playback while recording.

Preview multiple video tracks at the same time.

This may have already been covered at some point on here but I was unable to find it. Please forgive me if it has.
I'm editing a 2 camera presentation for a company. I've laid both cameras in the sequence. Camera 1 is on V1 and Cam 2 on V2. They are in sync and ready to go. My questions is, "Can I preview or monitor both tracks at the same time as if I was switching this live?" I want to be able to preview cam 1 at the same time cam 2 is playing on the canvas so I know when to cut V2 and switch to V1. Is this possible to do in FCP? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Thanks!
Mike

It's not your only option, though you could do that if you wish.
You can still finish the edit with multiclip...(provided your clips are still in sync)
With your playhead at your last cut point, option-click on V1 to activate it's track selector as the only one active, then hit the 'f' key (this will load clip one in the viewer at that point in time). Set an inpoint on clip 1, the do the same for V2 (clip 2)
Next select both clips in the browser and hit control-click / Make Multiclip. Choose 'Synchronize using: In Points', click ok.
Now dbl-click the new multiclip in the browser, make V3 active and hit F-10 (overwrites the multiclip onto V3)Next, dbl-click the V3 multiclip in the timeline, go to the top/center button of the viewer and set the Sync to 'Open'. Then, single-click in an open space in the timeline, place your playhead at the head of the new V3 multiclip and hit the space bar. You should see both clips rolling in sync in the viewer.
Check the manual for Multiclip button bars and any additional settings like activating 'Multiclip Playback'.

PS - you might want to duplicate your working timeline to test this procedure, then you can always delete the old clips and drop your V3 multiclip on to V1 to finish the edit.

Is there a way to see or play two video tracks at the same time?

I have video shot using two cameras at the same event. If I take the video and put it in a sequence, say video1 and video2, how can I watch both tracks at the same time so I can edit them? I tried using multi-camera monitor and have that show video1, while watching video2 in the right hand panel, but it doesn't work very well. By that, I mean the multi-camera monitor does not play at the same time. Instead, it stops, then when I play the other monitor it is still until I stop the other one. Then, it "catches up". If I play the multi-monitor, the other one is still until I stop the multi-cam monitor. So, anybody have a better solution that I can use where they both play at the same time?
BTW, my hardware is brand new and I have a 6-core i7-3930K processor with 16 GB of memory, so I don't believe the problem is with my hardware not being enough to run PPro 5.0 correctly.

Recording 4 microphones at the same time to GarageBand?

I'm wanting to record 4 microphones at the same time to Garageband on the iPad (4th Gen) for a 4-person podcast I'll be working on. I'm wondering if there's an inexpensive solution ($275 and under) to do that.
I'd like to be able to record each mic to a different track so I can work on them in post. I'd also like to be able to attach a MIDI keyboard for stuff unrelated to the podcast itself.
So far, I've been looking at these devices which all seem to have their own caveats:
Alesis IO Hub (only two XLR inputs)
Alesis IO Mix (no USB)
Focusrite 18i8 (a little over the price I wanted to pay)
Everything else I've looked at is either more expensive or has too few XLR inputs. If anyone out there can lend their expertise and advice to what my options are that would be great.
Thanks much,
Ray

Well, you can, but it is pretty darn expensive and requires quite a bit of hardware.

Every time i play a song in my i-tune 10.6, about up to half way mark, i-tune will automatically skip to the next track and playing it (next track) at the same time as the current track.

Every time i play a song in my i-tune 10.6, about up to half way mark, i-tune will automatically skip to the next track and playing it (next track) at the same time as the current track. i don't know if anyone has the same problem, but i haven't sync my ipod touch 4 gen to my i-tune playlist for the longest time, cus i was afraid to transfer the problem to it since i have a pc (win 7) but not MAC.

i am sorry, guys, but I really really really need you guys' help. if u know ANYTHING...

In Logic 9, is there any way of editing the take folders of, say, 7 different drum tracks at the same time, so that each track has the same changes applied to its takes?

Thanks. I know how to select multiple tracks in the mixer, did that and put on group clutch,
Hi
Wrong..
To assign tracks to a group, click in the dark gray box just above the automation (Read/Write/Off etc) on a channel strip, and select the group number you wish to use. The first tim eyou assign a group, the Group Setting swindow will appear automatically, thereafter you need to click on the group area and choose 'Open Group Settings'.
Make sure that you have turned off Group Clutch (this disables all Groups)
Maybe this will help

Why cant I see BOTH video tracks at the same time?

I read all the manuals,I swear.
I make film collage and want to do multiple layer exposures of different clips.
So far I just have two video tracks-
Why cant I see BOTH video tracks at the same time,I mean each track will create another layer,or exposure that will both play back viewable simultaneously right ?Or would that be considered "layering"?
Does this have anything to do with the source vs. destination thing ?

FCE plays back video tracks in a "top-down" manner: that is what's on track 3 obscures what's on track 2 which obscures what's on track 1. You can control scale, position and opacity of each clip on each track so that you can get the layering you seem to be after.

How to sync with two computers not at the same time, I'm registerd with one computer

How to sync with two computers (not at the same time), I'm registered with one computer and am trying to connect with second computer with same iPhone. To sync the first time with the second PC "Firefox Sync Option tells me Create New account or Connect, when I connect it gives me a Passcode and on iPhone it also gives me a Passcode, than how do I connect? Both the iPhone and PC gives me a Passcode and have now idea what to do with them.
Where do I find my Sync Key ? so I can install manually if it works ?

Use the Sync Key ''(Recovery Key)'' from the PC that you used to initially setup your Firefox Sync service, when setting up that 2nd PC with Sync. You need to use '''Add a device''' to setup the 2nd and subsequent devices on a Sync account. <br />

Collecting data from advantech-usb4704 with two different apps at the same time

I wonder if I can access to Advantech-4704 with two different applications at the same time?
I use this block in my vis.
I have enough ports, but inputs are needed in completely different applications. Do I have to close one of them or can they run simultaneously?
Thankyou!

Dear gtu,
as nathand said, usually it is not supported to access the same physical resource simultaneously from multiple programs. In case of DAQmx for instance, you will get an error message which says that the resource is already reserved. I suppose the same would happen with your driver, however it might be worth a try.
One workaround could be however if you revise your applications and merge the codes if it is possible so that no concurent resource allocation takes place.
