Garageband 11 Recording on left side only?

Hey Guys, I have a question and need your help in answering it. I have created numerous songs in Garageband 2011 using various loops but now its time to add real guitars, bass guitar and synths. I am using a Lexicon Alpha as my interface. When I go to a song and add a new track to record say my guitar onto, it records my guitar but it only records on the left side of the track and only plays back on the left side. I was told I need to change the track to record in mono: is this true and can you give me details on how to change it to mono? I want the guitar and anything else I record to record and play back on the left and right. Thanks in advance for your help!!!!

Thanks isteveus!!! I will try this and let you know how I turn out. I think this will solve my little problem - it certainly makes alot of sense now that I have gone back and looked at my settings. Thanks again!!!

Left Side only work

I just hooked up my new X-Fi Xtremegamer. I am running Windows x64 Professional and download the latest according drivers from the creative website. I installed drivers and reset and now my headphones are plugged in but only the left side is playing noise. I think its a problem with the output being in only channel since if I turn up right side volume the volume on the left side will go up. Anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Left-side only on Macbook Air headphones

I am having problem with any headphones I plug into new Macbook Air in that sound will only come out of left side despite the headphone settings being set for balance.
I tried the resets I have seen on other threads and experienced no change in the problem.
Please help!

    Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Plug in the headphone.
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Make sure that balance is set properly.

Firefox prints partial pags from web why on left side only?

When I want to print a page from the web, Firefox prints only 2-3 inches on left side of page.
I can print e-mail OK.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 7-20-10

'''"I can print e-mail OK. "'''
Web mail through Firefox, or using a different email program?
See this:

Also, check the margin setting in File > Page Setup. An excessively large right margin setting can cause something like that.

Hello!
Have you tested your hearing? Sorry!
I got a Tbird too, of the 100 kind. There is also a 133 kind. Which is yours?
Has it always been like this, that is, have it ever worked? Normally sound problems are Windows related, but this was odd.
Is there good contact for the speaker cable? Try jerking it a bit, in and out?
Any error messages in Device Manager? Could try - again - uninstalling current driver, reboot to enter SafeMode and reinstall.
Here is an advice from the Internet: "You are probably using a mono plug for stereo speakers. Either that, or the driver may not be loading correctly. On some systems, if your sound card drivers are not loaded in CONFIG.SYS, you will only have left-side sound." http://www.5starsupport.com/faq/sound.htm#1-5

Why are my pictures from my Powershot SX130IS blurry on the left side only?

I have had my Powershot SX130Is for less than a year. Initially it took lovely pictures. Now all of the pictures are blurry on the left of each image. I use the easy or auto setting. I am very dissappointed with the picture quality. Any suggestions?

LibbiePayne,
I agree that making sure the lens is clean may be all that is needed here. You can clean the lens by gently wiping it down with a soft, lint free cleaning cloth, similar to what you would typically use to clean eyeglasses.
If the images are still blurry on the left side, this may require more in-depth troubleshooting. Feel free use this Contact Us link to contact us directly if you continue to experience this issue.

Audio plays out of left side only

I had this same problem with the 4th Gen Nano, which is why I received this one. But, I've only had this iPod for a few months at the most, and I do not have a warranty on it anymore. I have tried multiple sets of headphones, so I know it is a problem with the device itself. Is there any way to fix this without having to buy a whole new iPod?

Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.
Hardware warranty is for _*one year from the date of purchase.*_
_If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for *two years* from the original purchase date of your iPod._
In view of the above, you should take your iPod & earphones to an Apple Store or an AASP. Let the staff inform you if you are having hardware issues.

How do I record the left side of a stereo wav?

Someone gave me a stereo file with Vocals on the LEFT and music on the RIGHT.
I imported this into Logic Audio Pro, and pan to the left, and hear the vocals in MONO
which is good, but it's panned to the left. Do I need to somehow bounce this to a new
stereo track, and if so, how do i do this? Maybe to a mono track? confused.

Click/hold on the little "stereo" icon below the track meter. You can select left, right, mono, stereo.

Audio only on left side

I've seen lots of threads on this and the usual answer is to make sure you click the input as a mono track in order to hear/monitor in both left and right sides in the headphones. It doesn't seem to work.
Have Mavericks w/all updates and gargeband 10.0.1
I have a Tascam US-144 MKII audio interface.
Guitar plugged into channel 2 input (instrument input).
Mono on switch is set to on (turning it off makes no difference.)
In garageband, I have a guitar track set up.
In info window... Input is set to Mono channel 2. I hear the guitar only through the left side.
Changing this to a stereo input or back to mono does nothing. I assumed that it being mono I'd at least be able to hear it in stereo through my headphones.
No?
If I record like this, will it only record w/a hard pan to the left even though pan level knob is set dead center?

Problem solved...
Even though I had everything set up correctly, I was using an incompatible jack adaptor on my phones. I substitued it for the correct 1/8 to 1/4 adaptor and it sounds great now.

Logic won't let me record stereo style! Only the left channel.

I was recording just fine with my keyboard connected to my TASCAM US-122 USB interface with an instrument cable today then all of the sudden I could only hear the keyboard in the left side of my headphones. I tried the other line-in and then I could only hear myself on the right side. What went wrong here? Keep in mind, it was working just fine but in between takes it cuts one side out. And all of my pan adjustments are equal.

If you are using a single, jack to jack cable you are effectively recording in mono, on one channel. When you are monitoring your recording signal you will only hear one side because your tascam is only sending it to one logic channel...
Your tascam has a mono direct monitoring switch - you should switch it on when recording with only one jack to jack cable - it will allow you to monitor directly through the interface whilst hearing your sound on both sides. You should record to a mono logic track and you will then be able to pan it afterwards as desired.
For a true stereo keyboard recording you would need to connect two jack to jack cables from your keyboard (if it has left and right outputs) into two separate mono channels on your interface. You could then record to a stereo track on logic, or two separate mono tracks panned hard left and right.
I may be wrong, but I reckon your problem stems from not properly understanding how the stereo field corresponds to recording channels.

Audio only records from one side

I am using a firewire solo...when I try to record guitar or mic through it into logic it only records on the left side (no sound coming from right)...
Doesn't happen in Garage Band.
Thoughts?

Well, first, make sure you are aware of what channel you are using on your interface. Then go to I/O in the track pannel in logic that you wish to use. Make sure it coressponds to the appropriate channel. MONO.

Convert stereo to mono, but with only left side

I have some mp3 files that are stereo, but I only want to hear the left. I know I can change the balance through System Preferences, but I want the left side to be coming through both speakers. Also I assume I could do this with Garageband, but there are a lot of files, and I'd rather not do that for all of them.
Thanks!

You don't want to hear the right channel at all or you want to combine both channels and listen to it with your left ear only?
You can convert the files to mono using iTunes.
iTunes prefs -> Advanced - Importing.
Click the drop down next to Setting and set it to Mono.
Now select the files you want to convert, then menu Advanced -> *Convert selection to...*
This will make a new copy of the selected files in Mono.
The original files will remain unchanged in iTunes.

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

You cannot.

It has been only about a month that i bought my macbook pro 15 but it is heating up really fast on the left side even when the cpu usage is only 10%...i'm worried if this is a problem of the hardware.

The way something "feels" is very subjective. We would need to know your actual temps. You can install the free iStat Pro widget which is available as a download directly from Apple:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
Let us know what CPU temps you're seeing at the time you feel your machine is hot. As you indicated your CPU usage was only 10%, that would imply that you already know that heavy CPU usage would be one cause for your machine to be running on the warm side... but that doesn't seem to be the cause here.

My scrollbar unexpectedly has moved to the left side of the screen (only in Firefox), and I don't know how to move it back

my scrollbar has unexpected moved to the left side of the screen in stead of the right side, and I don't know how to move it back. This only occurs in Firefox.

Set the pref layout.scrollbar.side to ''2'' to place the scroll bar at the right side.
