Jan 31, 2010 07:50 pm First off, just to clarify you should see a picture that looks like this
Instead of one that looks like this
In your actual DAW.
If you see an image like the first pic, then its recording mono. Now go to the top bar and click "Devices > VST Connections" and look at the input tab. Make sure it says "Stereo in" and then below device port you should see "send 1" and "send 2" or something like that.
Let me know what you get so far, and if that fixes it. The next thing to look at is on the audio track itself, like the little blue tab that is named "Audio 01" and has a record and monitor button. Click the audio track then look at the area directly to the left. You should see another record, monitor, mute solo etc box. Then a few horizontal sliders. Below that it SHOULD say "stereo in" and "stereo out." If it says something else, you may have a problem there.
Jan 31, 2010 08:31 pm it says "stereo in 1" but everything else is the same. but yea for the screenshot part of it, its just 1 waveform.
Jan 31, 2010 09:15 pm Did you see a "Send 1" and "Send 2" in the "VST Connections" page, under the "Device Port" heading?
Also, check "Devices > Device Setup" menu, and then at the folder on the left that says "VST Audio Setup" directly under that folder, inside of it actually, should say something like ASIO LEXICON ALPHA or something of that nature, it reflects what you're using as your soundcard. In that menu check to see that "Send 1" and "Send 2" both say active, and have a little x next to them.
Actually that reminds me. Make sure you switched to the correct sound card input, it should do that automatically but i can't remember if it does. Just look at "VST Audio Setup" that i mentioned before and make sure its using the right ASIO driver.
Jan 31, 2010 09:23 pm You're trying to record a mono source to a stereo track.
Don't do that = No problem.
Jan 31, 2010 09:44 pm i think i have the settings correct, i will take a screenshot tomarrow and post it, around 230 pm, eastern standard time
