Recording with UX2

[Ikiru]

Uh.. sorry if I post this in the wrong place...

First off, I want to record my guitar using toneport UX2 together with the song/music I'm playing along with, since I don't want to have to edit both tracks together and spend forever syncing. So, I had my guitar plugged into line 1 instead of instrument on the UX2 and my ipod into line 2. I had line 1 and 2 selected in gearbox but somehow one line can never be picked up and neither can I hear it, why is this? Like I can hear line 1, but not 2, or vice versa. Or maybe I'm doing it wrong to begin with? Is there another way to have music and guitar recorded together?

I used to try it using garageband/imovie before on my mac and it seemed to work but I've switched to windows now and it doesn't anymore. Also, when I record with my macbook, after awhile, the sound breaks up and becomes nothing but static and lots of noise.

I suspect there's something wrong with my sound card on the mac, but apparently mac technicians says otherwise.

Does anyone have any insight on this problem? Thanks!

um if its an istrument port, i think ur guitar should be plugged into that instead of some other port....how bout u just use ear phones and listen to the music so u can be in sync with the song?

I do, I always use headphones to monitor. But the thing is syncing the guitar track with the music and then the video later on...Before I was able to record everything together with the video using iMovie, but it got complicated using windows. Anyway, apart from that, I want to know why I can't or don't have sound in general coming in from both line 1 and 2 rather than just 1 line, disregard that I have a guitar or an mp3 plugged in...
