How do you set mono as the default track type?

Post by chillowack » Sat Sep 04, 2010 6:21 pm

Whenever I record a new track, it's automatically in stereo, and I have to manually set it to mono (mono being what I want).

Is there a way to set it so that mono is the default?

Edit > Preferences: Devices and set "Recording Channels" to "1 (Mono)".
