Hi all, I've just purchased and installed a MAudio Mobile pre with the aim of recording some live guitar & vocals, then mixing in some synths.
So I plug the acoustic in, click record in Cool Edit pro, and play a couple of licks. But when I play it back, the guitar is only on the left or right channel (depending on the channel I plug it into).
If I select left or right in the device properties then record, it records as mono, but at least the audio comes out of the speakers balanced.
So here is my super newbie question. When recording instruments & vocals, is each track recorded in mono, then mixed to stereo later?
There is also 1/8 in stero mic input, but I guess I just don't understand the difference between mono & stereo when it comes to actually recording an instrument.
Thanks in advance the help!
