Muted Vocals Help
Posted: Sat Jan 02, 2010 8:11 pm
Hello there Audacity forums!
I'm new to Audacity, so far I love it. But I have particular and peculiar problem that I can't seem to find the fix or answer to. I've checked the forums, I've checked the FAQs. Googled, too. But it seems I'm the only one having this problem. Or maybe I don't know how to phrase it right. So I'm going to start from the beginning.
My friends and I want to start a podcast (nothing major, just something fun to do for our close circle of friends). We wanted to use Audacity.
Now, Audacity works fine. It records the sounds and I can split the tracks, time-shift them, whathaveyou. But I'm having a problem with the Mono settings.
If I make two recorded tracks as Stereo, one track comes from the left, one from the right. It would be fine, usually. Everyone can enjoy it I suppose. But my problem is that I'm not capable of hearing the left tracks, due to human error / by design. I was born unable to hear from the left ear. So you can see where this is a problem.
I tried to set it so both audio tracks are Mono, and all sound is equal in both ears. But the problem is, when I play it back, I hear static. I can hear my keyboard. But I can't hear my vocals at all. No speaking. But computer sounds and such I can hear.
Could someone help? Like I said, I really need to be able to hear everything in mono, and it won't be such a loss for everyone else.
