I’m glad you’re looking at GarageBand in Mac 101 (http://www.macworld.com/article/2087321/get-your-groove-on-with-garageband-loops.html) because I’m hoping you can answer a question that’s been bugging me for awhile. In GarageBand I want to record a duet with my partner using two USB microphones but I can’t figure out how to do it. Is it possible?

<p>
It is, but the initial configuration happens outside of GarageBand. It works this way.

Plug both USB microphones into your Mac, venture to the Utilities folder (/Applications/Utilities) and launch Audio MIDI Setup. In the bottom left corner of the resulting window click the plus (+) button and choose Create Aggregate Device from the menu that appears.
