can you use this for recording drums with 2 overhead mics into the audio interface and then through the usb cord into the mac? and will it work in garageband?

[Webcam9000]

@alienman250 Yeah they should do, and they should work very similarly in Garageband. I might actually do a tutorial for the iO2 in Garageband soon...

if you use two tracks, the mic on the first and guitar on the second, would it record two seperate tracks?

[Webcam9000]

@TRAILSTAR123 As long as you set up two separate tracks and made one one input and the other the other one yes =]

Hello I was just wondering if there is much delay or echo when recording directly into a DAW like ableton live 8. Much help would be appreciated as I looking to purchase this. (:

[Webcam9000]

@Jesusphones999 There's pretty much no delay at all, I've had it sometimes where there is a noticeable delay between the live sound and the playback, but you just restart the software and the iO2 and I've found that things usually clear up nicely =]

Thanks for the vid, I want to get this device after my midi keyboard and akg k240 headphones reach

@captainmarc9 u can either turn down the volume of the stereo and turn it off, the headphones plug it to the audio interface to hear it while the stereo its off.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video, very clear and helpful. I want to buy Logic now, too expensive!

I´m using this on a Windows 7 pc, i have the asio drivers installed and aslong as im only playing sound from the pc trough the interface into speakers everythings fine, as soon as i activate the microphone however (both mic input and guitar line in), or open ableton i start getting a peeping noise, the sound quality and and latency are perfect, how do i stop the peeping?
