Re: only line entry on with US-122
The Tascam US-122L is a "2 channel" device.
Audacity does not have "channel mapping" so when using a 2 channel device, Audacity will treat "channel 1" of the device as the "Left" or "Mono" channel and will treat "channel 2" as the "Right" channel.
This means that if you set Audacity to record "1 (mono) channel" (using the device toolbar), Audacity will record "Channel 1" of the Tascam (the left channel). If you set Audacity to record "2 (stereo) channels", Audacity will record "Channel 1" (the left Tascam input) as the left channel and "Channel 2" (the right Tascam input) as the right channel.
If you wish to record only Channel 2 of the Tascam, you will need to set Audacity to record "2 (stereo) channels", then split the stereo track into 2 mono tracks and delete the unwanted channel. See here for how to split stereo tracks to mono: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/sp ... racks.html
Note that on Windows you may also need to set the Tascam to record 2 channels (stereo) in the Windows Sound Control Panel.

Hi Steve thx for the reply
I have no pb to reccord,
my pb is on my last computer I had for my tascam 2 choices in audacity : "line" and "mic",
now I have only "line" and the result is of course terrible (numerised sound)...

Re: only line entry on with US-122
sorry... it means "problem".... 
Re: only line entry on with US-122
I find that surprising. Usually USB devices only have one option, with the selection between Mic / Line being made on the device itself.banyeli wrote:my pb is on my last computer I had for my tascam 2 choices in audacity : "line" and "mic",
If you are sure that there should be other options for the Tascam, look in the Windows Sound Control Panel to see if any of the options are disabled or hidden.

Re: only line entry on with US-122
Ok I checked on my old computer and you're right there was then only "TASCAM" with no precision...
I never had problem with it
The thing is on the new computer the sound is OK and then sunddenly becomes "numerised"...
Is there any known incompatibility between with Tascam US 122L and Audacity on windows 7?
I checked the tascam on qbase and it works OK...

Re: only line entry on with US-122
I tried to change the driver... but it's still the same: Reccords OK for 3/5 minutes, then numerised sound and then jumps!
(works all right on the old computer -XP- and on qbase (but I prefere the sound quality on audacity...)
Every informations wellcome!

Re: only line entry on with US-122
I don't know what you mean by "numerised". Could you try to describe that, or post a short example. See here how to post a short WAV sample: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 49&t=72887banyeli wrote:The thing is on the new computer the sound is OK and then sunddenly becomes "numerised"...
