We just picked up a chrome qu-32 for our church. First ever digital. We had been recording sermons using Garageband via a line-in from an output. This past Sunday we were playing around and were able to map the usb and record(only one track, pastors mic). I THOUGHT we would be able to set up a template and cover the whole board (all inputs are listed when you try to set up a track in Garageband), but now in reading and playing around it just doesn’t seem feasible. Set up all of the tracks last night and would only record whichever one was highlighted. My wife also needs to record rehearsal tracks. On the previous board that was done via stereo out into a Tascam cd-r which she would then rip and email to choir members or copy for the ones that still wanted CD’s. Downside to that is it is one take recording. I’m trying to sell her on digital recording and being able to punch in/out…ya’ll all know the benefits.
I’m just looking rough tracks, not studio quality. Is there a way to accomplish this in Garageband that I’m missing? If not, what would you guys recommend for easy peasy multi-track recording? I can fumble through Protools, but my wife…nah.
Thanks
