Garageband2 + Motu 828 Audio Recording ?, How to assign inputs to tracks in GB2 ?? Options

[Culchie STV]

Hello,

I have a MOTU 828 (not the MkII) on an iBook via firewire, and I want to record a live band to eight tracks.

I can't figure out how/where to tell GB which input signal (instrument) from the 828 goes to which track. There should also be some way to assign the GB2 tracks' outputs to go back out thru the 828...

I have the Mary Plummer book on GB2, but she doesn't say anything about this. Or I can't find it... <G>

Many thanks,

stv

Hi Deacon,

Thanks for the help, good detail! And I like your name, too, as well as the song. Gooood stuff.

I'm using at least GB2, there might have been some point upgrades since I installed it. I understood that multitracking was only available on GB2.

You wrote: "To enable a specific track in GB for the 828 when creating a new track, use the Input Select to choose which channels you are wishing to record from for that track."

Does the Input Select only show up when creating a new track, or is there a way to gain access to the assignments after the track is created?

I made a 'template' eight-track song before I got the 828 up and running and I've been searching thru it to find the I/O assigns. If I need to start over, that's fine.

Many thanks!
