Am I correct in believing that the 'One' effectively has a two channel output and a one channel input?
- Asked by Dudley L
- Oct 22, 2010
Answer
Output is stereo via a standard 1/8" (3.5mm) headphone jack (aka "stereo mini-jack"). This can be connected to a pair of headphones or powered speakers. You could use a Y-cable (or similar adapter) to connect two outputs, but the "ONE" will still see it as a single audio output.
The "ONE" supports three audio inputs, but you can use only one at any given time.
-built-in mic
-external mic via the XLR jack on the breakout cable (the "ONE" includes an excellent pre-amp, and provides phantom power if required by the mic)
-guitar or other instrument or other "line in" audio input via the 1/4" (6.3mm) female Hi-Z TRS jack on the breakout cable
You can choose the audio input both through the Maestro software, and with the silver control knob on the device itself. …More- Answered by Kenneth D from Ottawa

Is there anyway that I could use this and a separate digital camera to record a video of me playing and lay the sound over the video?
- Asked by Anna C from Hartselle
- May 20, 2011
Answer
Sure
Some people use the audio track from the camera to match up the wave form of the audio track recorded in garage band. Then when you lay out the video track; delete the camera auto track and keep the matched up garage band audio track.
I have seen devices running at different speeds on low end devices that don't use a n internal clock; so you might need to stretch the the audio track a little. …More- Answered by Christopher T from Western Springs

Can I record using the internal mic and the input for a guitar simultaneously? would it show up as two separate tracks on garageband?
- Asked by Kelly W from Hypoluxo
- Aug 15, 2011
Answer
You can't. It's a single input device, hence the name. I'm using mine in preference to my two input firewire 410 because of the ease of use and the quality of the sound I'm hearing in my recordings. In other words, no drawback for me …More
