Recording in mono?

[Ron Pedley]

Hi sorry for a silly one. How can I record in mono?
Thanks,
Ron

in the input section of your channels choose 1, 2, or that channel of your soundcard you want to record with: they all record in mono. if you choose 1-2 instead you will record in stereo. if there is no choice available, go to the audio settings and select the soundcard you want to use and switch the available channels to on. hope that´s what you meant! good luck! alex

Thanks Alex.

In fact ableton doesn't record in mono. It only deals with stereo tracks.
And this sucks.

Internally yes but you can bounce to mono track.

How can I bounce to a mono track? I choose 1 on the channel and I still see a stereo track. Unless I go to preferences and reconfigure my interface? I'm trying to bounce a stereo Trillian midi bass track to one mono channel.
Thanks,
Ron

your solution is the utility plugin "mono" preset

I thought I recalled a mono mode in the export dialog box. May have been another DAW. Sorry.

[chapelier fou]

I thought too.

Yes! Of course you can render a mono file.

not to be nit-picky... but you can record in mono, by using a mono input channel. result: a mono audio file. but Live's tracks are always stereo.

"result : a mono file" ? I have to check this...

[Pitch Black]

c'est vrai!
