I use Macromedias Sound Edit 16 to record audio. Ive never been able to get it to record in stereo. Is it my sound settings, is it Sound Edits, or the mac? thanks for the help

You need to buy "1/8" Mac special jack" : it' s a bit longer and cost much more. You have to buy it from Apple or Apple's dealers.
