I can only hear my recording out of one ear

Post by sloth » Sat Dec 26, 2009 12:28 am

I know this is because it's recorded in mono. I've tried converting it to stereo by duplicating the recording, setting a left and right track, and then combining them. However, I still only hear it in the left earphone.
How do I get my recording to play in both sides?


EDIT: I can when I listen strait from my computer into my headphones, but not through my mixer. Is that just a problem with the mixer then?

<<<and then combining them.>>>

Combining them, or converting them to stereo? Those are different.

Can you ever hear stereo at all?

Try to play the Left-Right-Mono test from here...
