Recording Question Please Help

Post by kenyon072 » Fri Aug 10, 2007 10:26 pm

Is it possible to record in stereo? I hit record, and a mono track comes up to record. I don't necessarily need the left and right to be different, just the same, as opposed to sound only coming out from one speaker when I play it back. Thanks for the help.

If you're on a Mac, the option is under "Audacity". Some versions make you start the program up again after changing that setting. After one restart, the stereo setting should "stick."

<<<Is it possible to record in stereo?>>>

So, yes.
