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.

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