When recording "What U Hear" with SF8 I get mono audio. Records in stereo when using Cakewalk.

Any idea why this is?

This is assuming your sound card settings are okay.
- Open SF and open the "Record" window. (Ctrl.+R)
- At the top left of the Record window, confirm the 'Sample rate, Bit depth and Channels' "Recording Attributes" .. For normal music recording: 44,100 - 16 Bit - Stereo.
- If it needs changing, select the "New" button and change.
- Set the "Device" pull-down menu settings for your particular sound card or Sound Mapper. Make sure it's NOT set to a only Left or Right.

When saving, make sure you are saving in a stereo format as well, be it WAVE, MP3 or whatever.
If further editing or processing is desired, always save in a non-compressed format like .wav to avoid degradation.

SF-9,10 has: - 'Channels' pull-down menu in main Record window.

Yup, it shows stereo. but it's only picking up mono.

If I record the same audio with Cakewalk it picks it up in stereo.
