garage band stereo mic

I'm using a shure mv88 mic with garage band. I am selcting stereo under input source. It appears it is only recording 1 track. I was expecting 2 tracks using a stereo mic. Am I missing something here or does a stereo mic still just records to one track. If so can that track be split?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

2 mics at the same time in garage band I have Wavo USB podcast mics and when I hook them both up and have each one as an input for the tracks it only records one input on both tracks. I have both tracks enabled to record, but they both record only one mic still.

Garageband multitrack recording issue Hi - I'm fairly new to macs and Garageband (GB). I am trying to record with two microphones simultaneously through a (MOTU M6) multichannel interface. I have record enabled two tracks in GB and have asigned the correct input channel to each (1 and 3). I have also record-enabled each track (button goes black - but only when the track is selected) and can record each separately. However, when I try to record from both at the same time GB only records from the track that is highlighted. What am I doing wrong that stops simultaneous recording?

Cannot slip individual audio track to correct phase in FCP When recording talent using multiple microphones at different distances, audio is out of phase. This project used a lav on the talent's chest and a shotgun overhead: FCP does not allow a user to slip an individual audio track to correct phase, neither while attached nor detached from the video clip. While attached, audio tracks will not slip independently of the video clip. But even when detached, each audio track won't slip independently of each other. My current workaround is to insert the clip into the timeline three times; once as a video clip alone, and then once for each audio track. I can then create a compound clip and slip each standalone audio clip within the compound to match phase. If there are any Apple engineers on this thread, PLEASE fix this issue! Being able to slip a single audio track within a clip would save me hours of inserting detaching unselecting audio tracks re-inserting clips unselecting audio tracks re-selecting audio tracks and grouping ...every single clip in my production.
