Multiple Headsets...one iBook

[McLean]

Hey guys,

I have a few questions...I'm looking to use my iBook to record podcasts with multiple headsets. I've got one USB headset and two standard plug-in headsets. I'd like to be able to use all three at the same time if possible and record using GarageBand 3.

If this is possible, could someone enlighten me as to how, and if I can record multiple channels in GarageBand 3 or if it would be one channel with 3 voices (basically one input from 3 mics).

So here are my questions, to boil it down:

1) Is there something that allows me to connect multiple headsets (at least 2, possibly 3) to one iBook?
2) Can GarageBand 3 be set up to allow for multiple voice feeds or will it just recognize all feeds as one?

If I'm missing anything obvious, let me know. Thanks!

I dont use Garage band, but I own an iBook.
I use a Tascam us-224. I'm not sure if Garage Band will allow multiple track recording, but I can use multiple mics with the interface.

Is that multiple analog headsets or actual mics? I think we can get mics, but I don't know if I wanna drop $200 on a mixer.
