So I'm to the point of insanity with this.
I have a Behringer Xenyx USB 1204. I record just fine and everything, but I get so mad because it summs up the signals into 2 stereo signals. I'm only using inputs 1 and 2, so I'm trying to figure out a way to like make them both mono(so I could individually edit both, sorta like multitracking in a way) but when I pan the tracks left and right NOTHING happens. I hear it panned thru the headphones, but they just record summed up. Splitting the stero signa to mono does nothing, both channels are mixed together on both sides. UGH. And I an using reaper.
also whenever I pan something right it just goes away, no signal. All I'm trying to do is pan input 1 left and input 2 right instead of them being summed together. helpp!!

Jun 05, 2011 10:43 pm It sounds like an issue with the recording software--if you pan, say, a guitar and voice, live, into the mixer hard left and hard right, then the software should record it that way. How are you getting the signal in? Via USB, I presume. It should be carrying the L and R signals in, separated, to the software.So, send in two signals, via two separate channels (1 + 2), panned hard L and R (in the Xenyx), and it should deliver two separate, unmixed signals to Reaper. Is this what you are doing?
Jun 06, 2011 10:46 am sounds like ya need to set two separate individual tracks up in your recording software....try assigning input one to record on track one, and input 2 to track 2...sounds like yer recording onto one track stereo (1+2)
Jun 11, 2011 12:11 am Hey thanks so much. Was able to get it to work. ahh i was freaking out alright. turns out the way i was recording in reaper was with DirectSound which like mixed both track together, so all i did was switch the recording device to WDM Kernel Streaming and that fixed it. thanks though :)
Jun 12, 2011 12:55 am i was gonna suggest tryin' that next....haha
