BEHRINGER Q502 USB INTERFACE
AUDACITY 2.1.2
PROBLEM: I have a digital piano accordion with one 1/4" audio out for bass side and one for treble side. I plug each cable into the Behringer Q202 L and R inputs on channel 2. Now I expect bass and treble to appear on separate tracks, so that I can edit them separately, on Audacity 2.1.2. But this does not happen. They appear together even though the input are separate. I also work with a violinist who has a high end audio pickup with a 1/4" out to the Behringer. Same issue; we ant separate tracks even though we are playing together. How do you do this? Thanks for any advice.
First, set Audacity to record in stereo (third box of Device Toolbar).
Audacity cannot yet record separate mono tracks from a stereo device. So next, use the Audio Track Dropdown Menu and choose “Split Stereo to Mono”. Then you can use the L…R sliders on each track to pan it in the stereo field. This produces a stereo track when you mix or export.
Or just choose “Split Stereo Track” if you find that easier.
