Hi, I use Motu 828MKII. There are 2 MIC inputs refered to left or right channels, that makes Live recording only in one channel - left or right.

Do you know how to switch stereo input to mono to make my MIC recording to two channels?

Thanks in advance

Check out the little bus button in Live (bottom right corner).

THANK YOU OCP!

I read the manual but I must have missed the story of the little bus down to the right. I f I had only known this two days ago I wouldn't have to edit a lot of interleaved stereo files with drums recorded on the left channel and silence on the right channel

Someone know a sample editor for OSX that can turn interleaved stereo files into mono files? I usually do it in SoundForge but my PC is broken, waiting for a new mobo so I have to do it on Mac OSX now. I bought the sample editor Amadeus for OSX but unfortunately it doesn't do stere to mono conversion.

Spark ME is a free (if it's still available..) editor that should do the trick.

greetings,

Audacity will do it too, if you can't find Spark ME.
