Thank you very much for the helpful answer, mate.
Yes that is correct although GTL does not have a mixer on the audio input. Which means it will be one OR the other. You can link inputs 1 + 2 and record them together as a stereo input however this will mean input one will be played back out of the left output and input 2 out the right.
I'm using a Roland street cube amp for performing on the streets. It has two membranes in it, so I think one is the left and one is the right stereo channel. As they are next to each other though, I think it doesn't even have a big effect on the audience's experience. As such I think it would be a minor inconvenience if all guitar loops would only play on the left, and all vocal loops only play on the right? Sure, if I can easily fix that using Audiobus, I will give it a try, but for having fun and fooling around on the streets it would be sufficient.
Much cooler though would be if GTL had its own mini-mixer, so if I have stereo input, I could easily and on-the-fly change whether I wanna record in stereo, or record only the left or right channel, converting it to stereo (while either muting the other channel, or simply passing it through to the audio output).
To mix together input signals I use a little A&H mixing desk with a built in two channel interface. Not sure how practical this is for busking though...
Not practical for my lightweight setup. ;)
Some of the alternatives to my iRig 2, offering two inputs, seem to be Zoom U-24, Line 6 Sonic Port, iRig Pro Duo, and Behringet UCA222. Would they all suit my needs? Is there maybe some other alternative that I missed?
Any experience with these?
Yes, it's fairly easy to switch between inputs on the fly and you can also control this setting with a MIDI controller.
It may sound silly, but I'm thinking about using my iPad with a foot instead of a hand (or a midi controller or pedal). No idea whether this is suitable, but I think it would be really powerful. So to change the input I will have to open the app's settings, correct? It would be cool to have a shorter way for that.
Again: I'm very new to looping, so I'm simply brainstorming here, and maybe my questions are stupid. If so, you are welcome to point me in the right direction. :)
I'm already convinced though to give GTL a try now.
