Hey,

I plan on recording with my band this summer.
I was told by a worker at Long & McQuade that the best way to do this (live) would be to hook up a presonus firebox 10 to my macbook, and run it through a program.

Since I dont want to spend an extra couple hundred dollars on recording software, I was wondering if Garageband had the capability to record up to 8 tracks in stereo, all at once.

We would be playing through songs one at a time, all the instruments at once, micing the amps. (2 guitar, 1 bass, 5 mics for drum kit)

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help.

Thanks a ton!

Welcome to the Mac Forums.

Your post was moved to the correct forum where it will be more likely to receive replies. It does not belong in the "Lounge".

Thanks.

If you use an interface with the amount of inputs you need and plug that into you computer (via USB or Firewire - your choice!), you should be able to make as many tracks in garageband and arm them all at once to be recorded.

Hope that helped.
