Hey everyone. I am just about at my wits end here. Two basic problems, and any help would be more than appreciated.
I record music on my computer using a pre-amp, two keyboards, a Samson (really nice) microphone, but I know nothing about computers. I have had my set up for over a year with no problem. Then I had to wipe a hard drive and re-install cool edit (same version)..now I am getting a lot of problems...
1. It only records on the left channel (and I know its not just the jack or whatever, because I am using the exact same stuff I was. This problem happens on both my desktop and laptop. I am not having a problem getting live output when I play through the computer...comes right out of the speakers. The problem is just that ONE CHANNEL ONLY! If I FORCE the recording on the other channel it will work, but it will NEVER record on both at the same time.
2. The other problem is that I tried to install that new adobe version on my desktop, but it was doing a few weird things. A- it was re-recording the first track every time I put in a new track (i.e. doubling it up) And of course STILL only recording in one channel. AND GET THIS.....every track has heavy reverb...for NO REASON! Its like its default reverb! I cannot get rid of it! So then I go back to cool edit 2.0 on the same machine, and now ITS REVERBERATED TOO!
I know this is a loaded post..music is my life, and I just don't know what to do to make things work. No one seems to be able to help me.
1. set your recording source correctly in the audio properties panel. you are recording a mono source into a stereo input, so it will track just one channel.
2. it might be an fx in the input. are you using Creative sound drivers?
