It seemed sensible, before starting to do the video on recording choirs, to explain a little about the differing techniques you can use to record 'real' stereo - as in recording the placement of individual sound sources within a stereo soundfield. Quite different from our usual multitrack method of panning the various tracks to their proper location.

I'm just mixing down an audio track for a youtube video. What is the maximum db level for each L and R side of the file when normalizing it? It seems that with a mono track you can normalize a higher db.

Hi gang,
I'm looking to step up the quality of Di I own and since like always I don't want to spend too much. I'm thinking of buying a stereo DI instead of 2 mono.
This could be the one I choose : Radial ProD2 Passive 2 Channel Direct Box
My concern is, could there be bleeding between the channels if I put 2 completely different sources instead of a stereo source ?

I am looking to record acoustic guitar. A lot of folk and finger picking so low volume playing. Based on what I have read so far I am in the market for Small Diaphragm Condenser(s).

Those interested in upmixing mono source material to stereo should check out my website, http://www.monotost…"]monotoSTEREO.info . The website provides a collection of resources for those using audio spectral editing, sound source separation, and related processes for upmixing older mono source material to stereo.

I'm interested to hear how you guys pull out the mono stuff from a stereo track.

Hello,

I am using Cubase LE 4 with a Lexicon Alpha to do some simple recording. I have a microphone plugged into the Alpha's XLR jack, which I guess is the right (as opposed to left) input. The alpha RCA outputs go to my two speakers, or sometimes headphones plugged into the speakers.

Ok, so I just recorded a bunch of tracks in Cubase on my bass guitar. However, I'm an idiot and had all the tracks as stereo even though bass is a mono instrument. Also, on my M-audio USB fastrack which I'm using to record, I had it set on stereo. When I recorded and played it back the sound would only come out of one earphone and the other one would just play constant white noise/static.

About to hook up my friend's recently purchased equipment and went to Guitar Center this morning to get the interconnect cables.

I am hooking up starting from top to bottom:

Numark Mixer into
Peavey EQ into
Rane AC22 Xover into
Crown MT1200 for bass and MT600 for mids and highs
