Recording Quantiloop with Garage Band
Good day. I am trying to multitrack record Quantiloop using the interapp function with Garage Band. Unfortunately it will only let me select one track at a time to record;
When I try to select more than one record button on the Garage Band channels, I always get an error message....
"Input channel in use. The input channel you have chosen is already being used by another track. To record on this track, choose an unused input channel."
I am selecting different Quantiloop Track channels so this is not true.
Any Ideals? Thanks

I haven't tried it, but under settings > advanced, is Multitrack Recording enabled?
Yes sir ...but of course. Thanks I did this before I tried recording. It seems like an error.

Based on some research, Multitrack recording in GarageBand supports "up to eight real instruments and one software instrument simultaneously". Sorry, looks like you can't do this.
Thanks. I guess I am not so daft after all. Can you recommend an app that will do this? I would prefer not having to use Audiobus or AUM to accomplish this. The simpler the better. I will mix the stems on PC afterwards.
Why record them then? Why not simply export the tracks from Quantiloop?
I have done so, however that does not record my whole performance. I am stopping and starting tracks and loops and manipulating Quantiloop and need to record the whole thing. Exporting the loops they just remain stagnant. Fine for some but definitely not fine for say a solo using the decay feature and bouncing back and forth between song parts.
OK then, sorry, I can’t think of any better solution than simply using AUM. There are other IAA capable multi-track audio recorders out there, but none easier or substantially less expensive than AUM.
OK AUM it is then....I hope I can accomplish the task at hand. Sucks that Garage Band will not work. It is not that cheap when I factor in the dollar exchange rate. Thanks so much for your comments! Regards Mr. wim.
Lemme do a quick test before you spend your hard-earned cash...
Yep. Works perfectly.
I wish I could get it to work perfectly for me. It seems that no matter what I do I cannot get good quality sound flowing from Quantiloop through AUM. So consequently the recordings sound terrible. Like a sick flanger. I have fooled with the sample rates to no avail. The AUM recorder works great but the signal flowing into it is horrible.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have spent hours trying to trouble shoot this. Although I am new to the iPad world I have been using DAWs and computer audio with PC's for many years. This Apple world is a pretty frustrating experience so far.
That sound sounds like you must have the audio coming directly from Quantiloop and from AUM at the same time. The flanging sound would be the two playing slightly out of phase. Check that you don't have two sources of audio enabled. Without screenshots or a more detailed description of how you have it set up that's the only guess I can offer.
There are several possible outputs from Quantiloop, among those is Audio Through and Audio Monitoring. Take care that none of these are used if you're also playing back individual channels in AUM. Also turn off internal monitoring in Quantiloop if you're playing back the audio in AUM. You'll probably just have to keep experimenting, keeping the "don't play the same audio twice" rule in mind, until you find a combination that works the way you want it to.
Or, maybe you have monitoring turned on in Quantiloop and are also playing it back through AUM.
Thanks for your comments WIM. The pep talk helped. I tried again for quite some time late last night and gave up. This morning I woke up with a clear head and started from scratch. Works beauty now. I just had to set things up starting with AUM first. The routing does not quite work as expected. Time to make some recordings....Gotta love the one button MIDI recording function.
Cool. I'm glad you got it working.
