Cant record in stereo , mono input (aux in) intel ALC270 [Solved]
Hi there, i've been reading the forum but i cannot get the right answer to this issue.
I am trying to capture audio with the microphone input connector.
I tried it using audacity (as i always did with other distros but now is not working) and with this command arecord -vv -fdat foo.wav
The thing is, i always end up with a mono audio file. I see in alsamixer the input/capture connector is stereo, i can see the Left and Right volume levels
but modifing those make no difference.
Something seems to tell the whole system to translate the stereo microphone into a mono microphone or something like that... i am no quiet sure, cause in audacity the recording track shows a stereo track although both channels have the same audio track, the right channel one...
i was using this same computer not long ago with fedora, and for like 2 years with slackware and always worked fine... i've been using archlinux for 4 months now and i came across with this while trying to rip some new cassettes i got.
Thanks in advance for your help pals.
Cheers!

Why do I have to change source input to mono when it's recorded in stereo through my interface from an acoustic pick up in order to hear anything in playback?
It's a dean markley acoustic pick up with a mono 1/4" jack. It's plugged into a focusrite interface. GarageBand only records it in stereo and only plays it back in mono.Watts100woo wrote:

you appear to already know the answer, however...
GB is not recording it in stereo, nor could it

Hi Im new to this so bare with me..When I connect my Samson l1200 live usb mixer to my Imac 7,1 Intel duo core 3gb ram, osx10.6.8, via usb cable to record vocals/instruments, in System Pref/Audio/Output tab is set to mixer's UsbAudioCodec driver, (Im able to hear playback into headphones via the mixer, and hear the mic when spoken into it but cant record a track into Logic...System/Pref/Audio input tab says selected device has no input control, Ive set the input/output settings in Logic to UsbAudioCodec but still no good...Would it be either the way the mixer is set up? or is this mixer (Samson l1200) not compatible with my particular Imac? I hope I may be able to help as Im only a student trying to record my band thanks
I perfectly understand your problem.
First... just to make sure, in Logic's preferences /Audio make sure Universal Track Mode IS checked, it should be enabled. (I think it probably is just checking)
Second... if you record a track in a new Logic project and then go to the next track to record an overdubbed guitar part, are both parts recorded on the 2nd track?
What I'm asking is overdubbing working differently for two or three recorded tracks as opposed to overdubbing with an imported track.
What I think is happening is you have the main stereo output being recorded into Logic so if you playback an imported or recorded track from Logic while recording a 2nd track (overdub), both are going to be recorded on the 2nd track.
I took a look at the manual, here's the relevant sections.
34 – SEND – USB input send switch
The USB INPUT switch allows you to select one of
two stereo (or two channel) signal paths to feed the
USB output to send to the connected PC. When the
INPUT switch is in the up position, the USB signal will
feed from the MAIN left right mix. When the INPUT
switch is in the down position, the USB signal will
feed from the AUX 1 and AUX 2 buses which enables
you to create a unique mix to send to the PC.
35 – RETURN – USB return switch
The USB RETURN switch allows you to select one of
two stereo return paths to receive USB audio from
the connected PC. When the ASSIGN switch is in the
up position, the USB signal will return to the MAIN
mix bus. When the ASSIGN switch is in the down
position, the USB signal will return to the last pair
of stereo channels which enables you to playback a
recorded track in the MAIN mix, and you can use the
channels AUX sends to feed any of the AUX buses.
This will let you hear the USB playback tracks in the
monitor mixes.
36 – MONITOR – USB headphone enable switch
Press the USB MONITOR switch down if you want
to hear the signal from the USB return in the
headphones. -
1820m Stereo inputs split into mono inputs?
Hi,
I want to split the stereo inputs of my 1820m into mono inputs so I can record multi-tracks on Cubase. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.When you set up a strip in PatchMix, it is seen from inside Cubase as a stereo ASIO channel regardless of whether you use both inputs. Pan one hard to the left, the other hard to the right, and then work out your VST connections in Cubase, and route (say) the one you panned hard left to a mono Cubase channel's input, and the one you panned hard right to a second mono channel etc., then you can record each input signal onto different tracks.
-
I created a mono input with guitar amp inserted. I want to hear the guitar thru a stereo chorus. If I make a stereo input for the guitar, the guitar comes thru on 1 channel whilre the fx are stereo. How do I set this up?
Hey,
3 ways to create it!
1) Online/Realtime:~ means,get a Multieffects or Guitar Amp that have 2 Output and 2 of the output record through and Audio interface (something like M-Audio Mobile Pre -USB).after recorded,pan the 2 tracks to Hard Left and Right!
2) Record an single input Chorus effects tracks,copy the track and drag the copy's track further 2-3 ms and Hard pan the 2 tracks to Left and Right!
3) is what our buddy recommended add the Stereo Plugin effects!
Done.

Equium A100-306: Question about stereo line input recording
I want to record to my laptop and as, frustratingly, it hasn't got a stereo line input.
I have acquired a Behringer USB line adaptor (UCA202). This allows playback through my stereo system (with adjustable output level through the sound card) but input level is too high and can't be adjusted by any means I have tried.
Is there a solution to this that can be followed by an enthusiast?Thanks for the information. I shall explore the software option as the thread you mention looks very relevant even though it relates to a different model.
If that doesn't work or proves too complex to install/configure I thought the Echo Audio Indigo IO sound card might do the trick.
It's ironic that the Equium A100-306 was sold as a multi-media laptop but doesn't have a line input. -
Why is audition recording the stereo tracks unequally?
I just upgrade to 3.0 from 1.5 and I must say I have been racking my brain for hours trying to figure out all my problems. I found most by scrolling old posts but this one I cant find. After installing the program I opened a beat in the first track of multiview. I tried recording and I was having latency issues so I took the advice that popped up in a message prompting me to switch to ASIO drivers. I opened the audio hardware tab and selected my mic (02s) (samsung C01U). Now, when I record in stereo the volumes dont record evenly. The left ear records just a little bit louder then the right ear. On the bottom where the mic level are the top bar stays a precise amount away from the lower bar (about 2 inches). So when I record, the top level (left ear) records normal and the bottom level (right ear) in considerable lower. Doesn't sound good. I know I could equalize it using effects but I want it to record evenly. Anyone know how to fix this. I have VIA High Def Sound Card (I think...thats what it says under device manager) and windows 7. I was messing with the settings in my ASIO4ALL control panel trying to fix the latency issues so maybe I screwed something up there. What default setting should I put in the boxes in the ASIO4ALL control panel?

Have I been recording wrong this whole time?
Yes.
Do people record into mono mics often or do most people use stereo mics? Also why would stereo record equally in 1.5 but not in 3.0?
All microphones are essentially mono. If you have two of them closely adjacent but pointing in different directions in one casing (aka a 'stereo' mic), you will get some sort of stereo from them - depending on how good they are. The vast majority of people use mono mics for single voices though - there is no benefit from using a stereo one for this at all. And there is absolutely zero benefit in recording a mono mic in stereo - it just wastes file space, because both channels will contain absolutely identical information. In fact using a stereo mic pair for recording a single voice is counter-productive - you end up using the variable part of the mic's polar pattern on both mics (not so good), and the slightest physical movement of the vocalist shifts the sound in the mix considerably. This is way easier to control with a single mono mic - the only determinant of where it sounds in the mix is the pan control.
The reason you are experiencing a difference has nothing to do with Audition at all, but everything to do with using a different driver. The present driver for your mic only outputs signal on one channel in stereo mode - which is pretty ridiculous; it shouldn't even have a stereo mode! What you should do is select a mono input - which will say something like [01m] on it in Audition, and use that to record, using the pan control to position the sound in the mix.
In a properly set up stereo monitoring system, a mono source wil appear in a single (vurtual) location between the speakers, depending on where the pan control is set. If this doesn't happen on your setup, then you need to fix the acoustic conditions around the speakers so that it does, otherwise you won't have the faintest clue about what your mixes really sound like.
I'm sorry that this all sounds a bit harsh, but I'm afraid that this is the way it is... -
Garageband w/ Mbox 2 Pro help please. Can we record in stereo? Should we buy a different interface?
Hello all and thanks in advance for trying to help. I'll try to give all the details straight up so I can get direct answers. I appreciate your help.
(By the way this is my first post in the comunity so forgive me if I do something wrong).
The long story short:
- I sing in a 3 person chorus group in Japan.
- We recieved a Digidesign Mbox2 Pro from our manager. (She was told by an engineer in our production agency that we should be able to record easily with it)
- We recieved the MBox 2 Pro itself ONLY. No cords, no software, just the actual interfact itself.
- We bought: 1 Dynamic mic, 1 mic stand, 2 headphone adapter jacks, Stereo speakers, & 1 firewire cord to connect the Mbox2 to the Macbook.
- We could not find an AC power adapter of the right size, so we have no power adapter. The only power going through the Mbox is power coming from the Mac itself.
- We do not have an instruction manual or anything, therefor we don't have the product number or whatever we need to register the interface.
- We can't register, so we can not call the Avid company help center.
- We don't own Pro Tool software. We are using Garageband.
- We downloaded drivers for the Mbox2 online.
I think that covers it all.
Now, we finally have everything connected and the Mbox2 is working with Garageband. We can record but now the real problem is that when we playback what we've recorded through our speakers the vocal tracks only play through the LEFT speaker. The audio track and echo effect from the vocal tracks play from both speakers, but the actual recordings of our voices only playback through the left speakers.
What do we do now?
Is there something we can do to make it so that we are able to record in Stereo?
Should we look into starting from scratch and buying our own audio interface system? If so do you have any reccommendations?
Other points of interest (that may help):
- None of us play instruments so we won't be connecting a guitar to the interface or anything.
-We each have a Macbook laptop computer that we use. The OS's are as follows: OS X 10.6.8, OS X 10.5.8, & OS X 10.5.8
- The OS X 10.6.8 Macbook won't connect with the Mbox2 Pro.
- Mic specs: SHURE SM58 Dynamic Legendary Vocal Microphone
We are desperate need of help. Anything at all would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time.Thank you for your time and advice.
When I set the Input Source to Mono there is no sound coming from the microphone into Garageband.
There are 6 mono options: Mono 1 (Didgidesign MBox2 Pro) - Mono 6 (Digidesign MBox2 Pro). And 3 stereo Options: Stereo 1/2, Stereo 3/4, & Stereo 5/6.
The only one that produces sound from the microphone is Stereo 1/2. when I choose the other options no sound appears when I press record.
(The Mic is plugged into Input 1 if that helps at all) -
M Audio Fast Track not recording in stereo
I purchased an M Audio Fast Track to use with Garageband. I'm running OS 10.7.2 Lion. The M Audio website says its compatible with Lion. Both my vocals and guitar, bass only record in mono even though I've got the audio input set to stereo. I set the input in GB Preferences for the M Audio DAW. The Garageband software instruments record in stereo but they're not going through the DAW. Am I doing something wrong? BTW, I'm a beginner so...and help will be appreciated.

I'm using a Blue Yeti USB microphone and am recording vocals in mono. I see two different mono inputs in the multitrack editor:
[01M] Microphone (4 - Yeti Stereo Microphone) 1
[02M] Microphone (4 - Yeti Stereo Microphone) 2
Why are there two and what is the difference between the two? Which one should I be recording with and why?
Thanks,
MikeYeah, I have no trouble recording in mono. My question is what is the difference between:
[01M] Microphone (4 - Yeti Stereo Microphone) 1
[02M] Microphone (4 - Yeti Stereo Microphone) 2
Both record in mono and I have no trouble recording with either of those two selected mono inputs in multitrack. I just want to know if one is better than the other or not, and why.
Thanks,

Live recording in Garageband, 8 input through FP10
I'm thinking of recording a few songs with my soon-to-be Macbook Pro, 13".
The plan is to rent a Presonus FP10 (8 input, Firewire recording interface), and to use it to mic bass, two guitars and a drum kit.
We intend to play through songs without stopping, no overdubs, etc. This must also be recorded in stereo.
Is it possible to record in this way, with this software and equipment?
I'd be very thankful if someone could help me out on this, I've got a bit of a deadline.
Thanks a ton.JamesL11 wrote:

worst case you might need to add an exteranl FireWire hard drive -
Multitrack recording in audition cs6 - input hardware question
I use audition cs6 on win 7 pro for editing and hospital radio production work. Soon to take delivery of a Sonifex S2 desk for the main studio and have a need to be able to record two seperate stereo outputs from the desk simultaneously (for example, speech tracks and music tracks) for ease in re-editing live broadcasts.
The desk has parallel analogue, AES/EBU and SPDIF outputs on both the main and audition busses so I could do with some advice on input hardware to give me the two stereo ASIO channels on the pc for recording by audition. Latency isn't an issue in this case, and if the input hardware uses the digital outputs, the clock can be provided by the desk if necessary.
This is not a scenario that would be expanded, it is a fixed studio installation so 2 x stereo line inputs are all that will be required. I just don't know what is suitable hardware.
Obviously cost is an issue, being a charity.
Any advice welcomed!

Is there any way to record a stereo signal on to a single track?
In other words, I would like to be able to record a stereo single track (without multi tracking) such as a guitar ran through a stereo effects pedal, or two microphones through a mixer panned extreme left & right. Any way to do this with Garageband on one track? I've tried two separate interfaces, a Apogee Jam and a Sonoma Wireworks via the 30-pin connector and it plays back in mono. Just wondering if there's an app that would facilitate stereo on one track?
By definition a single track is monophonic. Stereo requires two tracks and two channels.
If you have recorded a single track of electric guitar, you could route that to a stereo effect and you would have a stereo sound but it would still require two channels for playback. -
Recording Audio through Tape Inputs in Logic
Hi
I have a Mackie Onyx firewire desk. Is there a way i can record from the tape inputs on my desk in to logic. I have a level in on the desk but cant find how to get logic to receive this signal? Can anyone help
Cheers
JonnyHi Jonny,
The tape inputs on your desk are "Monitoring only" meaning they only play back when you select "Tape" in the control room/headphone monitor section.The best way is to bring in what you have plugged into the"tape inputs" on two channels of the board itself,like channels 15-16.
Then you can record directly into Logic,if you have the FireWire card installed.
Cheers -
How to record in dual-mono with 2 channel audio interface?
I'm using an iPad 3 with an ART 2-channel usb/mixer interace. I use the Camera app for video recording and the audio is routed thru the interface. Works fine except that I can't seem to figure out how to change the default setting of the iPad/Camera app so that it will record the audio in dual mono. Right now it only records in stereo, with the 2 channels panned hard left and right. Recording vocal and guitar with the dedicated 2 mics/channels makes for a very wide and un-natural stereo image.
Can Apple or someone help me figure this out?
Thanks!I could be wrong, but I don't believe the Camera app offers a dual-mono option. You'll probably need to look for another app, perhaps a third-party app, that can do this.
Regards.
