hey all, new to the boards.
i have been a N-track user for 3 or 4 years now and i will not mess with it for months at a time out of frustration.
i have a Berry MX802A mixer running into a Audiophile 24/96 card using the latest N-track 4.0. ok, i have the 2 track outs on the Berry mixer to my soundcard in's! (left to left,right to right)
also have the 2 track in's on the mixer patched from the sound card outs.
i play simple vocals/guitar to record. the vocal mic is on fader 1 and guitar on fader 2 of the Berry mixer. i can record BOTH PARTS on two mono N-track tracks. but i get no seperation for the guitar. i hear vocals on this track. BTW, the guitar is lined in to the Berry on fader 2--not mic'd!
so, here is my question: How do i totally seperate the vocals and guitar? Pan?
i know this is basic and dumb for most but not for me. i want a "definitive" way of separating tracks everytime i record. this is the way I used to normally record on my old 4-track cassette system.
How do I totally separate these tracks?
thanks again---jw

Yes, panning is the answer. Pan one channel, say the vocals, har
Yes, panning is the answer. Pan one channel, say the vocals, hard right, and the other, the guitar, hard left (on your mixer, not n-track). Also, make sure that the input in N-track is configured for two seperate mono inputs, not a stereo input or a single mono input. Then, of corse, select input one (L) as the source on a fresh track (vocal), and input two (R) as the source for another new track (guitar).
Good luck,
