[QUOTE="Adric, post: 1436074, member: 245480"] Of course the guitar mic will also hear your voice. You're in the same room as the guitar after all! The guitar will be much much louder though and vice versa for the vocal mic. People still record tracks one at a time (especially on lower budget setups) but its more cumbersome and time consuming that way. You'll want to have the two mics going into your audio interface then in guarage band you'll have two audio tracks armed to record channel 1 and channel 2 respectively (assuming your interface has more than one input). Place the mics about a foot away from your mouth and the guitar, adjust the levels so its loud and clear but doesnt clip (go above 0dB), and have at it! I should note that I don't use guarageband so I'm not 100% sure it can do multitrack recording. I know some people who get around this problem by having the interface record channel one in the left speaker and channel two in the right, then they duplicate the track in their software and and make each track mono by using only one side (I hope that makes sense, it's late here and I'm sleepy lol).
