Hi guys,
Just using garageband and was hoping someone could help me out.
I have a roland drum machine and recording on one track in stereo at the moment doesn't separate the individual hits left or right at all as they would sound in my headphones.
So to get a stereo sound with individual hits panning left and right it seems like i would have to record a few tracks focusing on say symbols on one track panned left and hi hats panned right on another track (just an example)
It would be convenient to record in stereo on one track having the drum sounds separated on one track....
Is this possible? Any help appreciated! Thanks - Alan

Yes, GB can record stereo tracks from a stereo source. How are you interfacing your drum machine with the Mac? The track you are recording to in GB needs to be set to stereo for it's input which will be looking for a left and a right line in.
Do you have a digital audio interface or are you just plugging into some analogue audio input on your computer? If you have an interface (I use an M-Audio 410 firewire interface) you would need to put the left channel into one input line and the right channel into the other, then in GB set the source to be two channels ( the two you are using on the interface for left and right)
