Unfortunately you can't with Live alone. But on a Mac, you can create an "Aggregate Device" out of whichever inputs and outputs that are available to the system.

Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately, I'm on a Firewire-less MacBook and, truthfully, it's way out of my price range, not to mention seeming like overkill (for me) for what I want it for. Thanks for your input though (no pun intended).

I guess they now assume we will use USB 2 or FireWire

Never did actually find a use for the card slot on my PowerBook. oh well

No, I think they assume that you will buy a 17" Pro if you want that slot and standard MacBooks don't even have Firewire any more, so they assume you will buy a Pro if you want/need that.


I think trial and error of the few small, USB devices available is to be my course of action for this.
