Those of you with usb/firewire audio interfaces..

[Trippin Hillbilly]

I need help please.

If you use a usb audio interface like mbox or m-audio mobile pre and such, that have two inputs or more. Can you record each of those channels to seperate channels in your recording software?

For example, I want to be able to record guitar and vocals simultaneously but get them recorded to two seperate tracks so that i can then mix and adjust their levels after recording them.

So question is, using usb, can you see channel 1 and channel 2 in the inputs screen in cooledit for example.

This is irritating the hell out of me because I can't seem to find a definitive answer. Maybe i'm just stupid.

Thanks guys.

I am sure those boxes have to support stereo, so long as you have CEP set to record from USB.

Yeah i'm thinking they will.
I'm looking at an apogee mini-me which is gonna cost an arm and a leg so I wanted to be sure. I think my signal path is too long cause i'm getting too much noise in my signal so i'm gonna reduce it.

As long as both software and hardware support ASIO, you should be able to do this easily.
