Mar 30, 2005 12:24 pm sounds like you're 1/4" isn't balanced....make sure there's two black rings on it.
Audiophile only recording on the left...

I just got this soundcard, and it will only record on the hard left or hard right depending on how I plug the RCA cables into the 1/4 in adapter. I'm recording from an ART tube pre-amp which doesnt have any RCA connectors, so perhaps it wont work with the adapter?

Mar 30, 2005 03:19 pm i've got two black rings on it... still have the same problem. Could the actual RCA cable be the problem?
Mar 30, 2005 04:44 pm It may be the adapter you're using... I had a couple cables that wouldn't plug in properly, simply out of bad design .
Have you tried using a (x2)1/4" to (x2)RCA cable, instead of the adapter ? Hosa makes some pretty nice yet inexpensive ones, which work great with my Audiophile .
Mar 30, 2005 05:40 pm I got to thinking about this...Can you set your recording program to record only from the L or R input of your Audiophile? You don't really have a need to send a signal into both sides of your RCA cable...1 side or the other will do, as long as you have the option to pick 1 or the other as your recording source.
The only reason you'd need both L and R is if you're recording a stereo source, and that ART only puts out a mono signal.
Mar 30, 2005 09:19 pm well this is really odd... I got it to work by doing the following:
Plug in a 1/4 in. to RCA(x2) female adaptor to the preamp, then plug in a single RCA to RCA cable to the white female. THEN that goes into a female RCA to male RCA(x2) adaptor which goes into the card.
I look your advice, tadpui, and looked high and low for a way to do that, but it simply isn't there. Thanks a bunch for the input though.

Having that many adaptors will probably introduce some substantial noise into the signal. Maybe we can find a way to do it a bit more cleanly.
Mar 31, 2005 09:00 pm I'm using Cakewalk
I was also able to reduce the cables to two just by purchasing longer versions and better combinations. It reduced the noise by a TON. Now i'm off to buy a line suppressor to plug the preamp and guitar amp into.
