MacBook Pro, Behringer X32 Mixer, How to record multiple tracks?

Hello,


I need some help! My band rehearses using a Behringer X32 Compact soundboard and a 6 channel PowerPlay headphone amplifier. We want to record rehearsals. I have a new MacBook Pro and access to GarageBand or Adobe Audition. I can connect the computer to the soundboard and I have read how to go into the settings of GarageBand or Audition to select the firewire/usb option. After that, I'm lost!

I can create tracks, but how do I assign these to the vocals and instruments that will be playing?

We have 5 vocalists and 6 instrumentalists.


Hopeful for help,


Rebel Betty

You must assign each channel to a track. This is not perfect for the latest GB10 but it will give you significant direction on assigning input channels (mics, instruments, etc.) to each track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UrRzbLvsqc


Input (your Behringer X32 Mixer NICE MIXER by-the-way) and output devices must be chosen in GB preferences too. Screenshot below:



You are on a fun journey. Once you do this a couple of times it will be easy for you. GB is GREAT!


Best,
