Hi, Koz and Steve:

So I've done some fiddling, and the audio still is only coming in on the LEFT channel. Would a mixer solve this problem? That is, could I force the audio down both channels? Thanks so much. --Daniel

Thanks, Koz, for helping me understand this.

If the Cubase app that comes with the alpha lexicon proves a hassle, any straightforward mixers you recommend? Just doing voiceover, so the simpler the better, I think. And oh, yeah, it'd be great to have a headphone jack. Thanks, Daniel

Thanks much, Steven and Koz. I'm learning a lot. I am curious: 1. If most microphones are mono, why is my screen recording software (Articulate Replay) trying to record in stereo? This also occurs when I hook up an external condenser mic to my camcorder. I'm just curious. 2. I bought the alpha lexic...

Thanks, Steve: another question or two, if you don't mind: 1. When just using the condenser mic and TubePre preamp (no alpha), why, when I record into my screen recording software (I do online training) does the playback only come through one channel? I bought the alpha lexicon to help with this iss...

Oh, and if I get that Behringer equipment and record in mono, will both left and right headphones give sound? Or will it just come out of one side? Thanks, again

I'll give that a shot, thanks so much, Steve. --Daniel

Hi, Steve:

So as far as the equipment is concerned, here's what I got:
-relatively new iMac
-Presonus TubePre preamp
-Audio Spectrum OSM 800 Condenser mic

Thanks for the help, Steve. I run the balanced output line from the preamp into the mic jack of my Mac. Got a adaptor piece so it fits into that small hole. By the way, what's the unbalanced output for? So it sounds as if I need a mixing desk. Any recommendations for a simple one appropriate for str...

Hi, everyone: I record narration for online learning modules, and have just started wearing headphones as I record. I've got a TubePre preamp, and have got my headphones plugged into the UNBALANCED OUTPUT jack. Problem is, the headphone volume is connected to the GAIN level, which is to say is freak...
