AU only records mono, although the settings I made for stereo

Report · Jan 27, 2019

Why I can not record a stereo? My adobe AU only records mono, although the settings I made for stereo. Please help me. Thank you.

Hello !!!

I do not know for what reasons my Adobe Audition 2018 writing only in one channel, i.e. mono. Could you help me deal with this technical riddle? I need a stereo recording.

I connect the Rode NTA1 to the Focusrite Scarlett card, turn on Line, 48V, Direct Monitor. I join the card to the computer. I check the sound settings and I see the input / output of my card

Microphone settings

Monitor settings

I MAKE SETTINGS In Adobe

I open the session MULTITRACK, of course with stereo

CHECKING SOUND LEVEL and see GREEN indicator ONLY ONE CHANNEL

RECORD ONLY ON ONE CHANNEL

You can only record one channel because the Rode NTA1 is only a mono mic. So you need to record in mono on the Track in Audition, even if it is a stereo session. In the Track header of Track 1, where it now says Default Stereo Input, you need to go and select from the drop down menu either Input 1 L Mono or Input 2 R Mono. Then Audition will record a single mono waveform in that Track which you can then use track Panning to place the mono recorded audio anywhere in the Stereo field of your mix.

Also you will need to turn up the Gain on the Focusrite channel that your NTA1 mic is plugged into. At present you are not recording a high enough level in Audition. the level should read at least -18dBFS to -12dBFS on the Track meter for normal speech level.

Hello!

Thank you very much for your answer. I was sure I bought a stereo microphone. Now I understand more.

I plan to record songs with guitar.

If I have a mono microphone, can you verify the connection and settings:

I connect the mic to input 1, guitar to input 2 (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2).

In the Adobe Audition - Multitrack

Track 1 – Default Stereo Input –MONO-01M mic 1 (L)

Track 2 – Default Stereo Input –MONO-02M guitar 2 (R)

IS it correct?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

Yes, that would be the correct way to record from the Rode mic and guitar at the same time.
