Audacity Forum

I cannot see why Audacity will not record in stereo or even how make it into stereo after recording. Any ideas???

Hi,
Since I'm new, and also am not acquainted with HOW you did your recording; or with what hardware I'll just mention this:
If you've already recorded and tracks are in mono; you can use the effect: MATRIX: Mono to Stereo might solve your problem. Give it a shot, and let me know how it works for you.
Now regarding why the recording is not initially in stereo when you record - I haven't a clue.

When delivered OOTB Audacity is set by default to record in Mono.

To set it to stereo go to Edit > Preferences > Audio I/O and set the Channels to 2 (Stereo)
