I have purchased an m-audio fasttrack guitar/mic recording interface
Its not what Keith suggested but its more portable with an xlr connection and has a pre-amp if I ever get round to purchasing a condenser mic. Thing is when recording to Adobe Audition my mic is recording in mono on a stereo track in multitrack. This means I spent bloody ages copying and pasting left to right
Is there a way to get it to record to both left and right? Why is this any different to going thru my mixer? I am using the same mic and cord plugged into the fasttrack so I am confused as to why it will only record on the left


aside from that I am pleased with the clarity and look forward to getting up close and personal with some rockier material

Mic is mono only..... Normally you track into one channel then bounce down into stereo....True stereo is with 2 mics........

There must be a setting somewhere in AA that you can change. It seems that you are recording the mono signal onto a stereo track setting. Change the setting to mono and you will get one track at the center.

I don't use AA so I don't know where to look.

The mixer split the mono signal to left and right. It does not make it stereo; just 2 mono

I dont mind that its mono but its left channel feed only so unless I copy and paste to right vocals only come out of the left headphone or left speaker

When recording your mic, select the AA recording channel to be a mono channel. That way it will record left and right, but identical, a so called split mono signal. That way you don't need to copy/paste. The reason it works with a mixer is the same. It is set up in such a way that it duplicates mono channels to both left and right, otherwise your guitar/mic would always play on one channel only.

ok experimented and managed to do that ok... looks weird but at least its centred I guess I may be on a learning curve that destroys all I believe in re-recording
Thank you Allstar.
