Can't record in stereo [SOLVED]

Post by donfo129 » Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:05 pm

Sorry, I'm new at this...so here goes. Running Windows 7 and Audacity 2.x on a laptop. Recording albums and exporting them as mp3 files. On true stereo records, it only is recording 1/2 of the stereo. I have nor been able to figure it out. Please help? Thanks!

How did you connect the turntable into the computer? In detail.

If you mean you are recording two channels in Audacity but both channels are the same, you have to change Windows to make the USB recording device stereo. See http://manual.audacityteam.org/help/man ... html#setup in the Manual.
