    THANK YOU SIR, YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!! I just got this thing, and my first time using it was to record a group (that I'm in, so I couldn't monitor while recording) and WHAT THE HECK IT'S ONLY IN THE LEFT EAR. No chance to re-record. But NOW it sounds beautiful! I tried watching several other videos for a fix to this problem, but you are the most clear and concise and I appreciate you explaining it to those of us who are not audio engineers in a way that we can understand without making us feel like idiots.

    For all those not using the instrument channel, you can go into your control panel sound settings and open up sound controls. Change the analogue 1 + 2 to 1 channel studio in advanced properties. This will fix the problem.

    For Windows 10 (and I'm assuming previous versions) you can set a global single-channel input setting for the Focusrite or any other DAC.
    Instructions: right click the speaker icon in the system tray on the bottom right of your screen > click "Open Sound Settings" > under "input" make sure "Focusrite USB" is selected in the drop-down menu > click "Device properties" > click the "Advanced" tab on the next window that pops up > select "1 channel, 24 bit, 48000 Hz (Studio Quality)," or whichever single channel quality setting you want to work with > finally, click "Apply." Done.
    Doing it this way will force a mono input/recording from your microphone through the DAC no matter which recording software you use. It's super easy and only needs to be done once.

    Also remember that you can use these tricks with a mixer hard panned left for one channel and hard panned right for a second channel. This accompanied by using mono sources and selecting Input 1 for one and Input 2 for the other means you can have separate tracks in your DAW for two sources. This can be very handy for when (not if, but when) you screw up your audio.

    I use an M audio 192/6 mic preamp/mixer with a RODE MIC NHT1 I just made sure the gain for both inputs is the same and you're set. I've been scratching my head for months and I finally have a solution that solves everything!

    On windows, you can also fix the sound coming from either channel by going to sound settings, selecting the input source and setting the channel to 1 channel. When you do that, OBS and other software (except your DAW) will record mic as mono and you don't have to go through settings on every software out there.

  • @danmagoo
    @danmagoo 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well, I discovered a popular interface that cannot do this -- the Motu M2 cannot be set to "1 channel", so it will record a microphone in "stereo" with the right channel silent. So I have to set the DAW to record mono instead. Or, in the case of Camtasia (which can only record in stereo, and changes everything to stereo by default), mix it down to mono afterward. Good demo and explanation, though.
