One recorded channel louder than the other [SOLVED]

[jb3funk]

so mono would be silence:

i have been doing it wrong so... hehe

just when i change it to 2 channels steve,

when i am recording,the 2 channels are not equal...

maybe the top bar is slightly longer then the bottom

[jb3funk]

just check the recording there...

while changing the settings to 2 channel

the top bar is at -6 while the bottom is at -12

how to i get the 2 bars equal so the 2 channels would be the same...

am totally lost now....

Let's get this topic into the right part of the forum.
You're using Audacity 1.3.13 with Windows Vista?

I'm now looking for a topic from a while back that was about the same issue....

[steve]

I found the topic but the original poster never said if it was resolved or not, so it doesn't help very much.

How is your turntable connected to the computer? USB?

[jb3funk]

am using version 1.3.13-Beta (Windows 7)

turntables are going into my mixer...

i have an external soundcard: Numark

i have the cable going into my mixer (Rec) and it is going into line on the numark and the numark is going into my laptop via usb


dont know why this is happening:once i get the balance right,everything is fine then as my recording levels are fine @ -6

[steve]

Topic split.

There's quite a few places that it could get out of balance, so we'll need to get specific.
Make/model numbers and exactly what input/output is connected to which output/input for the turntable, mixer and sound card.

[jb3funk]

ok!!!

i have an acer Aspire 5742 (Laptop) Windows 7 (6 Gig Ram)

Let's take the mixer out of the equation for a moment while we find out hat is happening.
Disconnect the mixer from the Numark STEREO iO.

You now have you turntable (do you know the make/model?) connected to the Phono inputs (item 1 in the Numark manual) via a pair of stereo phono to phono leads?
The switch on the Numark is set to (item 4 in the manual) is set to "Phono"?
The turntable has an Earth wire connected to the grounding terminal of the Numark (item 2 in the manual)?
When you record with this set up, the left (upper) channel in Audacity records about 6 dB louder than the right (lower) channel?

All correct so far?

Does your turntable have a "tracking" adjustment? If so, the first thing to do is to check that is set up correctly (see your turntable user manual for how to do that).

My TT Is ATechnics 1200...

so you want me to connect the turntable Direct to the numark via phono or line?

and also do you want me to connect the earth direct from the TT To The Numark

is that Right...

If So,I Will Try That

[steve]

so you want me to connect the turntable Direct to the numark via phono or line?

What's it connected to now? A Line in or a Phono in?

and also do you want me to connect the earth direct from the TT To The Numark

Yes. And the mixer disconnected altogether. We need to narrow down where the issue is coming from, so if the issue persists when the mixer is not being used then we can eliminate the mixer as being anything to do with the problem.
