Hey there, I'm hoping you guys/gals can help me out.
I have a firewire 410 and 2 m-audio luna microphones, hooked up to my powermac g5. If I'm using one mike, and when I listen via headphones/speakers I hear stereo sound. When I record and playback, it goes single channel (and I notice when I look at the signal monitor in say, Garageband, it also confirms single channel, depending on which mike input I have going at the time). My dillemma is that I want to be able to control this... but mostly I only want to have to use one mike to get stero sound. 'Can' I set it up so that one microphone will record in stereo, or am I doomed to 'have' to use two mikes to get a recording stereo sound? I'm pretty sure I should't have to use 2, but as I noted in my title... I'm a noob and I need some help. Thanks! Uvee |

Yes, you will need to use 2 mics to get a true stereo sound (ie left and right). Mics only record from a single area, therefor are not stereo... They do make stereo mics, but I don't think that's what you are actually looking for. A mic will always be recorded as a mono track, unless you are using some sort of stereo effects prossesor, and then it is the prossesor doing all the stereo work.
