So i plug my condenser mic into the firebox with I just bought today, and only the left channel is recorded. Right channel is dead silent. There are several reasons why I believe this is the firebox's problem, not my computer or the mic. Has anyone had this problem or does anyone know whats up. Thanks.

edit: when i plug the condenser into input 1 it only records the left channel, when i plug the my dynamic mic into input 2 it only records the right channel.

Is this how its supposed to work.

yes, that's how it supposed to work. You should record a single mic as a mono file... not stereo. If you want to record stereo, plug in two mics (preferably a matched pair), one in channel one and one in channel two and this will give you your left and right channels. when recording only one mic (mono) you need to change the settings in your software to record mono, not stereo, so you don't have a stereo track with sound in only one channel and nothing in the other.

Well when I go into the options for recording device (adobe audition) there are three options, stereo, L, and R. When using one mic (mono) plugged into input 1: Choosing L only records the left. Choosing R records nothing. Choosing stereo again only records the left. So how do I get a normal mono recording with the same track in both speakers? Theres no option for mono...

Theres got to be something wrong with my firebox. There is no right channel. When I plug the mic into the second input and select the Right recording input in Adobe, it shows the track being recorded, but when I pan it 100% Right there is no sound at all. Panning it 100% Left there is sound. I can't explain this at all. How do I select the Channel Type gecko?
