Re: Audacity mono recording problem

Hi,
I've already installed the drivers from the manufacturer's homepage and I didn't find settings possibility. I ask Focusrite, I write them, thank you.

Hi

Have you checked whether you need a driver for the USB device and set everything to stereo ??

    THANKYOU DAVE-211

Subject: [Audacity-users] Audacity mono recording problem



 


Hi Everybody,

I need help:
I have two computers, a notebook with Windows 10 and a desktop computer with Windows 8.1. I use the same hardware (Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 USB Interface) and I installed exactly the same version of Audacity (the latest 2.1.3), and their settings are all the same, I checked them. As far as I know the sound settings of the operating systems are the same in both cases too.
When I use the notebook (Windows 10) to record a guitar sound, and if I make stereo recording, the left channel is blank and the right channel contains the guitar sound (because it's mono sign), and if I make mono recording, the guitar sign is on the one recording channel, works well.
But when I plug the Focusrite to the desktop computer (Windows 8.1) and I use this, the stereo recording behaves the same (left channel is blank, right channel contains the sign), but when I make mono recording, the channel remains empty unlike on the notebook... My only chance to record the mono guitar sound is using stereo recording and then later removing the unnecessary empty channel always. I don't know, what can be the difference, what am I doing wrong, is there special Audacity settings to this...
Can anybody help me to use my desktop computer like my notebook to be able to make mono recordings from mono sign correctly? I hope there is a solution.

Thank You in advance.
Yours sincerely,
József Imrefi
