How come when i record a mix of stereo and mono wav files
in acid it comes out mono. I panned all of the mono tracks
to the left and the stereo track is centered and should
have at least come out stereo.. When I went to save as mp3
i made sure that i did'nt select the convert to mono
selection..

How can I record to stereo..

Thanks

hmm...if you are certain you have not marked the "Convert to Mono"
option, it should write a stereo track....odd. Maybe you could try
saving it as a wave file first and then convert to mp3 using Sound
Forge or a similar program.

good luck.

I even tried using Vegas pro. I would bring up an mp3 song which is
in stereo and recorded my guitar on a mono track and panned it left
and when i created the wav file only the left side came out on both
sides.. Everything that Is supposed to be on the left speaker is
coming out on both the left and right speakers for the finnal
recording..

I cant figure it out.. Is anyone else having this problem?
