Stereo recording won't splt channels

Goal is to produce a CD with a click track. The source contains music on one stereo track and the click on the other. Produced with Sibelius 3. GarageBand will not split the tracks. Using a mini out and into the IBook. Echo, Reverb and Compression are off on a Basic Track. Recording produces one track in GB with two identical channels, when selecting Channel 1&2 (stereo) on the Master Track. Can't get it to put the click on one channel or track. Suggestions?

We need a background of strings behind a vocal group using other live instruments in performance. The drummer needs a click track to set the tempo. The strings are synth from a score written in Sibelius notation software. The score can produce a stereo output with a click or metronome on one channel and the strings on another. Our problem is the source machine does not have a working CD burner, so we need to migrate to the Mac with GB to somehow burn a CD the drummer can use with a click track on it. In performance, the drummer hears the click via headphones, but the audience and vocalists/musicians only hear the strings. This is done frequently in pro audio. We have never done it.

  • My external audio recording device only records to the right channel.  How do I send the sound in the right channel thru the left one in Final Cut to get a full stereo sound?

    My external audio recording device only records to the right channel.  How do I duplicate the sound in the right channel and run it to the left one in Final Cut to get full stereo sound?
    I've already copied and pasted the right channel (A2) onto the left channel (A1) but that just doubled the volume on the right channel.
    For instance, when I listen to my audio with headphones it only comes thru the right one.  How do I make it so that it comes thru both headphones?

    Stereo is something else. It is a sound field where the individual elements are located through varying the amount of electrical energy for each element delivered to each channel.
    What you have is a mono source that should be panned to center. This will equally divide the signal so it will be delivered out both the L & R channels.
    Load the original clip to the VIEWER and set the PAN to 0 (zero). Delete any duplicates. They are unnecessary.

  • How to SPLIT ONE STEREO TRACK'S L & R CHANNELS INTO TWO MONO CHANNELS

    Does anyone know if this is possible: How to SPLIT ONE STEREO TRACK'S L & R CHANNELS INTO TWO MONO CHANNELS?  There's got to be a way, but I just can't find out how.
    I recorded a podcast -- me and a guest, with each mic going to its own mono channel. When I opened it in Audition it mixed them into one stereo channel. 
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Best,
    Shawn 

    You're a big help! Thanks very much.  Simple yet I must be going blind because I didn't see that in the menu.
    Take care and THANKS AGAIN.

  • Stereo Record, Mono output

    I have been recording voices through a Samson microphone on my pc (using Soundbooth CS4) and thought that I was recording in a stereo format, however I seem to be getting mono output.  The only way that I can tell is by putting on headphones and hearing the recording (finished .wav) on one side only (the left).
    What am I doing wrong and is there a way to correct what has already been recorded without re-recording it?  I would like the stereo like render with sound coming from both headphones, etc..
    Thanks

    Sounds like you had a similar problem to one I just solved for myself. Your recording is coming out of only one speaker because it was recorded using only one channel in a stereo recording format. You have to change it to a mono recording. Here's how...
    Under the "file" drop down, choose "Export" and then choose "Channels to Mono". It will save both channels of a stereo recording as single, individual Mono .wav files with a "L" or "R" designation for right or left channel. Simply keep the one with your recording on it and discard the other that will be blank. You can then keep the file as a .wav file or as I did, do a "save as" to create my desired .mp3 file (or whatever format you require).
    This new file will now play as a mono recording through both speakers.  Worked like a charm for me - hope this helps!

  • IPod 5G video + Belkin TuneTalk stereo recording don't function

    iPod 5G video 30Gb + Belkin TuneTalk stereo recording don't function on firmware 1.2.1
    every 48 second it skips for 1 - 2 seconds in HQ MODE
    Belkin say: It's how Apple manage the write from storage to hard disc
    It's a shame that this is already more then 5 mounths !!!!
    no possibilaty to downgrade the firmware..;(
    1 not one note on Belkin.com site (they still sell it !!)
    or
    2 on Apple update site
    NOTE here on the discussion from januari 2007 !!!
    When I record in stereo, it skips through out the recording. I'll be listening to what I have recorded, and I'll notice that chunks of about 3 seconds are missing from the recording
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)   G5

    actually a very similar problem here. the recording was 35 min and it jumps and skips down to about 7 min. I thought it was a problem with the wav file that was recorded so I converted it to mp3 to and the same problem.
    i do have firmware 1.2.1 but had never successfully used it before this attempt. did you ever get any resolution on this?

  • Recording audio from a Channel Send

    I've done this before, but I can't seem to do it again.
    I am trying to record audio from one channel (which is using an audio instrument) to another channel (an audio channel) using an audio send. I am not having a problem setting up the send. I am able to hear the audio correctly and independently on both channels. The problem occurs when I try to record the audio, because there is no "record" button on the channel header for me to arm the track. The track is set up as a "record-enabled" track, but in the space where the other tracks have the record button, there is just a empty space on this tracks header. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Well,
    I seem to have found the problem. It appears that "audio tracks" will not allow you to arm them for recording unless there is a possible real audio input device connected to the computer. I plugged in my Snoball mic, allowed Logic to set it up as a device, and the record button magically appeared in the track header.
    Hope this helps anyone else who is having a similar issue.

  • Why no stereo recording for Lumia 920 ?

    i have read at Nokia developers website that Lumia 920 have 3 High Dynamic Range Microphones. But during video recording , it does only mono recording despite of having 3 microphones (all knows stereo recording is better than mono) whereas the newly launched Lumia1020 does stereo recording and have only 2 High Dynamic Range Microphones...
    My question is : Why no stereo recording in Lumia 92x pureview devices ? or is it coming in future updates(or amber update have it?) .
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The notion stereo recording is better is a false one. As the spacing for mics on the 920 is limited resoring in stereo is more a gimmick really. You would probably get similar results if you ran your recordings through a decent audio editor with a plugin creating a stereo illusion with reverb processing.

  • Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

    As far as I know, Apple sells no such configuration.  However, under Settings > General > Accessability, there is an option to play back audio in monoural mode, which would then play both halves of a stereo mix in each earbud.
    Hope that helps.

  • Please help! how to delete stereo recording pre final cut express edit

    ok I have recorded over 10 hours of (voiceovers) intstructional material on ishowu HD.. When i started i used my built in mic and everything was good. I could place it in FCE edit in viewer before placing in my sequence. These recording on recording mono (a1) and mono (a2) and i had no problems.
    Somewhere along the way (i believe when i changed from built in mic to plug in usb mic) ishowu began recording mono (a1), mono(a2), and also stereo (a3a4).. With the additional stereo audio folder being recorded it gives me a general error (not enough memory)when i try to put these clips into my viewer and i can't edit or play the clips in FCE. So I have a ton of clips i can not edit in FCE and the general error is killing me.. So basically i have a ton of quicktime files and need to know if it is possible to delete the stereo recording from my voiceover and somehow change it back to just mono a1 and mono a2. Please somebody help!

    I know nothing about iShowU.
    I can say that VO in FCE are always going to be a mono clip entered into only one audio track.
    Why it's arriving as a stereo pair is a mystery to me at the minute.
    Have you trashed your FCE Preferences?
    If you want to make a stereo pair into two mono tracks they can be.
    Are there inward facing little green triangles on the stereo pairs?

  • Stupidly only recorded onto one audio channel  when filming.

    I stupidly only recorded to one audio channel when filming. Is there any way to get imovie to duplicate the recorded track onto the other channel?

    I think if you open your video in Quicktime Pro you will be able to save as mono audio with both channels the same.

  • DVR sometimes won't change channels automatically to record a show

    Last  night I turned on my TV and a FIOS message was there indicating a user action was required.  I needed to select 'record both shows' in order for the DVR to change channels on the second tuner to record an hour long show that was already 35 minutes in.  The DVR should have recorded the two shows in the schedule without intervention.
    Model number:  Motorola QIP 7232 2
    Does anyone know why this happened or is there a setting that needs to now be set?

    This is how Verizon set up their system. It is absolutely asinine. As is the fact Verizon uses show titles to record as opposed to time like Cox cable. The result is you lose the last couple of minutes on ABC when they run their 9:02 to 10:02 schedule And in many cases I cannot record with an extended time because I already have 2 channels scheduled. On the other hand, Cox cable uses time.
    My other issue is, and I am wondering if it is just my service, now that Verizon has gone to this new guide, it takes my set top box over 45 seconds to switch functions. Most of the time things don't delete, some shows take 2 recordings even though it was automatically recording, and more times than not, I lose the last few seconds of the recordings. And I am also getting numerous times where I lose either audio or the picture freezes.
    Hopefully someone at Verizon reads these comments else we are just complaining to each other.

  • Windows Media Center on my HP TouchSmart PC won't switch channels on my attached Cable Box.

    Have a Motorola DCX3501-M DVR (cable box) connected to my HP TouchSmart PC (Win 7 64-bit) in order to view and record HDTV channels.  Problem is I can't get Windows Media Center to communicate with the cable box properly, e.g., when I select a channel to view in WMC (using the PC's remote control) it does not tell the cable box to switch to that channel.  I have the IR cable connected from the rear of the PC and affixed to the front panel of the cable box.  How can I get the cable box to work properly with this PC?

    Hello Curly2U:
               Did you connect the IR cables correctly ?http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Video-Solutions/Products/Video-CPE/All-Digital-Set-Tops/DCX3501-...  Now I look up your cable box.  Take the IR cable that is connected from p.c. IR out port and plug the other end directly into EXT IR IN port. Next to IEEE 1384 and Power  Cord ports. I really do not see how a p.c. remote can control any thing but the computer because these remotes do not have a option to add codes to them like a universal remote does. They also do not have special butons to allow you to contol other devices such as tv's or stereos and cable boxes like a universal remote does. I checked our Help and Support and did not see anything about mentioning controlling other devices.
              You might want to by pass the cable box altogether and  directly plug the cable antenna wire directly into the computer and see if it can tune in cable channels. You might not need the cable box after all. There are two antenna ports on your computer try switching the cable antenna arround. I found out  one antenna port olnly picked up one channel and when I switched the cable cable arround I was able to pick up all the channels.

  • No stereo recording

    After weeks of futility with everyone blaming everyone I finally got hold of someone through the Toshiba Depot number who would admit that there is nothing that can be done to make my M305 record a stereo wave file. Its monaural recording from external sources or nothing.
    Below is the response to Toshiba's request for a rating on their support effort.
    It was not the fault of your support staff. When you manufacture a product that will not do one of the basic functions of most every other computer then you or those you authorize to sell your product should advise customers of this shortcomming.
    It appears that the Toshiba will not record a stereo signal (separate right and left channels) from an external source. It has no stereo line in although it does play back stereo from CD or DVD being run on the computer.
      The Toshiba will be on E Bay tomorrow at a several 100 dollar loss; and a new Dell should be in my hands in a week or so.
    You lost me as a customer.

    The mic in is only mono.  You need a stereo in, which some units do have.  You don't say which unit you have...
    You can record stereo from sources like the CD though... just not using the mic in.  If you need that and yourn unit doesn't have that I would get a USB sound device that offers it.  They make them and they cost less then the $100 loss you say you will be taking.
    If you want to give feedback to Toshiba you need to call them 800-457-7777.
    Just users in this forum, no Toshiba presense.

  • Problem trying to stereo record

    In spite of track being armed, double-circle for stereo, software monitoring pref selected, my live instrument (Native American woodwind flute) will only either monitor or record in one of the two stereo channels as displayed in the Track Mixer. Input 1-2 and Output 1-2 are selected.
    Also actual recording results in a 'mono' one-sided wave form.
    I am recording into LE7.1 via an M-Audio Ozone Instrument In.
    Any help/suggestions would be appreciated....Thanks.

    Hi Phil....Yes, I'm recording using either a small condenser instrument mounted 'bug' mic or LD condenser mic - both being mono. Following your post I have now changed I/O from Input 1-2 to Input 1 and the levels are displaying as two parallel bars rather than one....The sound being through both headphone speakers now.
    As it's late I'll record in the morning. I'll also email you re seminars later tomorrow....Thanks!

  • ADAT stereo recorded as split mono: best way to convert to stereo?

    Hello everyone,
    I have session material on an ADAT that have stereo files split on two mono tracks (e.g. channels 1 & 2) and thus were recorded in logic on mono audio tracks (e.g.1 & 2). What is the next step to insure easy editing abilities?
    For example, is there a “link” button similar to FCP that will allow edits to effect both tracks? If not, should bounce the two audio tracks into one stereo track? “Convert to Stereo” does not work in the audio window, as Logic does not recognize these as split stereo files. Same seems to apply for "convert regions to new audio files" in the arrange window.
    Thanks in advance for your help! Sorry for the newbe question, I dont work with audio that often, especially coming from DAT.

    Is it really worth it/necessary? I will in the future make sure to record them as stereo tracks. I guess experience is the best teacher
