Recording two tracks at same time

I want to record guitar on one track and vocal on another at the same time. At the moment I have two ways this might work: I have an Apogee Jam interface for the guitar and A Dual Tube audio inferface for the mic. Or, theoretically, I could plug the guitar into one of the two instrument/XLR inputs on the Dual Tube. When I use option one, with the two different interfaces (Jam and Dual) Logic Audio preferences will only let me choose one "device" as input. Not both. If I use just the Dual Tube with Guitar and mic plugged in to the L and R inputs, they go to the same track, since the Dual is seen as one single Input device. I cant even arm a second track for recording. The sound isn't bad, but I can't mix the tracks independently of each other. Any ideas how to come up with two separate tracks at the same time, or do I have to simply record the Guitar first and add vocals later? THat's what I've always done, but wanted a "live" feel this time. I just switched from Logic Express to Logic Pro X. Thanks in advance for any help!

You can create an aggregate device for a couple of different interfaces in the Audio MIDI Setup OS utility and select that in Logic's Preferences/Devices tab - I've never had to do it myself, so I couldn't be sure it works well with all devices.


It isn't me, but if it were I'd want to record them separately anyway, just for concentration on performance of each element, that's the difference between making good audio and making something that sounds like a proper record, no matter how simple or complex the music is.
