Is Garageband able to designate tracks into separate audio outputs

I could choose the audio output device in the Preference/Audio'Midi, but am I able to assign different tracks with different audio output channels. I already successfully created an aggregate device in Audio Midi Setup under Utility, so I have audio output channels 1/2 and 3/4 now. Is it possible to assign Garageband tracks with 1/2 or 3/4 separately? Thanks

MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

No, that is not possible.

A multi-channel audio interface or aggreate device doesn't help you, because GarageBand always routes the output of its Tracks to channels 1/2 of the selected Audio Interface. There is no mixer window with Channel Strip in GarageBand where you can route the output to different output channels. FOr that , you need Logic Pro X.


Hope that helps
