help please - lyrics only on left side!

[lilrush]

Okay so basically i need some help...
I am importing music in mp3 format....which plays in both sides of the headphones.
But then when i record on a new track... the lyrics are only on the left side of the headphones.

Whats going wrong here?

Any help is greatly appreciated! :);)

are you recording your vocals to a mono track?

[lilrush]

no it says stereo 1 and 2

[zimv20]

your voice and the mic are mono sources. if you record that to a stereo track then you'll hear it on only one side (usually left).

so you should record it to a mono track and keep the pan center on playback -- then you'll hear it equally from both speakers.

oh wow!
never knew that thanks!

which one,
channel 1 (mono)
or
channel 2 (mono)

????

that probably indicates which input into which the mic is plugged.
