I have found that it was a lot of work to record three seperate tracks, on three seperate computers and then sync them all up afterwards for 2nd Player<\/a>. So I did some research to figure out how I could record multiple inputs into a single garage band session.<\/p>\n

I found this<\/a> article about how to use Audio MIDI Setup to configure an Aggregate device. That worked great on everyone else’s computer, but mine! First let me say that this is a really cool tool, you can basically get a USB hub(~$10) at your local electronics store instead of a firewire mixier (~my arm). For someone just starting off in podcast this is a huge savings.<\/p>\n

Back to my problem…Unfortuatenly I couldn’t get this to work on my MacBook Pro Core Duo. This wouldn’t be a problem if everyone was using the same version of GarageBand, but I have not upgraded to iLife ’08, so if Bucky recorded two tracks, he would have to export them as one aif file (which isn’t good for mixing).<\/p>\n

My problem wasn’t actually not being able to create the aggregate device, rather, it was that it would not save the settings for programs to have access to.<\/p>\n

SOLUTION: I run as a standard user. I know I probably don’t need to, but the fact that it works so great 99.9% of the time, I do. But for some reason, OS X did not feel the need to let me know that I did not have credentials high enough to save my Audio MIDI Setup changes. So to fix this, I just simply needed to log in to my admin account, and create the aggregate device.<\/p>\n

In my experience I didn’t need to stay logged into the admin account once the device was created, but if you are having problems, that is where I would start. I hope this helps some other poor sap, that happens to have the right conditions for this to be a problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
