Can anyone help me with a simple way of recording two tracks?
I want to record two tracks, using 3-4 mics in simple and cheap way.
(Using a Mac powerbook).
The way I see it, the simplest must be to get a mixer and pan the inputs to either the L or R output(stereo), and split the stereotrack when recorded.
Alternatively, I could go through a multitrack firewire soundcard.
I consider the following setup:
4mics into a,
Yahama MG mixer,
put two mics on the Left out, and two mics on the Right out,
connect to line-in on Mac,
record and split stereo track (possible with "gargeband" software?).
Another way would be to go through a multitrack firewire soundcard. Either first through the mixer or directly into the soundcard (given it has enough inputs)
In what way would an external soundcard help me?
Would the quality of the recording be better?
Is recording a stereosignal and splitting it using software a good technique?
Could there be "bleeding" between the tracks, when panning 2 mics to L and two mics to R?
Any suggestions?
