SoundForge 9.0 Recording Problem

[mattshephard]

For some reason when im recording on soundforge 9.0 its only recording through the left channel when recording in stereo.

Anyone help?

Ps - Ive tried recording from different sources (mixer, cds player ) etc so the source doesnt seem to be the issue.

either a channel on your interface is dodgy, or you're somehow engaging a pan on the way in.

[mattshephard]

so hows best to fix this?

[rhythmtech]

check if your interface records stereo into anything else. if not then get it fixed or get a new one.

try recording in this http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and see if the problem remains

[mattshephard]

yeah still happens with audacity. Apologies for sounding like a numpty but to get round this if i record in mono can this be converted into stereo as an mp3? If so how can I do this with soundforge 9.0?

Thanks for the help so far btw

no you cant convert to stereo. all you'd have is the same information on both sides. your soundcard is broken and needs to be repaired or replaced.

Check the monitor in the recorder in soundforge.
Are both channels reading on the meter?

Check your input selection on the soundforge input selector within the record window. Have you selected the stereo in or stereo monitor in?
