Greetings -
I'm fairly new to home recording, and VERY new to my Tascam US-122.
Here's my problem:
No matter what recording program I use (Cubase, Soundforge, Creative WaveStudio), my Tascam US-122 only records to the side of a stereo track that the microphone is plugged into.
Let me explain further:
There are the "MIC IN L" and "MIC IN R" inputs. If I plug my Shure SM58 into "MIC IN L," my resulting stereo track has sound only on the L channel (or sometimes, a TINY bit on the R). Vice versa (plugging into the R input) causes the opposite effect.
This can't be normal... Why would you only be able to record to half a stereo track?
By recording a mono track, and then converting that track into stereo has worked for now, but that's a temporary solution.
Please help! It appears that the Tascam unit is installed properly. I simply can't get it to record one XLR input to both L and R channels.
If it helps, I noticed in Cubase that my VST Outputs showed only "US122L" instead of both "US122L" and "US122R," as I've read online that they're supposed to. I've followed all the directions for proper setup, though!
Thanks for any help you could offer.
