Hello guys! Glad to meet experts in sound!!!
I have problem when converting mono to stereo and generally copying sound from one channel to another(left to right or right to left).
Ok, lets start! My guitar amp has two line out. One is called "speaker" and I guess its monophonic. The other is "headphones" and this must be stereo.
I use a cable from the "speaker" line out into my pc card line in. My guitar is heard from one channel/speaker. I record my guitar in the left or right channel of my pc card and the recording sound is good!
Now... lets say I recorded my guitar in the left channel. When I try to copy the recorded sound from left to right channel(using a program), the sound gets bad and unclean! Its not that awful but its not clean and atmospheric! Its somehow heavier but not clean. It isnt expanded and is centered.
So I have a better quality when I make mono recordings and converting mono to stereo doesnt give me a good sound.
Due to the problem I cant make a good stereo recording, I use the trick of recording separately to each channel. First I record to left channel, then to right. So 1st guitar is heard from left channel and 2nd/solo guitar is heard from the right. The outcome is good and atmospheric(I dont know if this is called a stereo sound), but each guitar is only in one channel.
I noticed that some 60's groups made the same type of recording as I do.
So please help me guys. At least, how can I copy sound from left to right or right to left without ruining the sound? How can the channels include both guitars with a good sound?
When I merge the channels, the guitars sound bad. When one guitar is only in the left and the other is only in the right, they sound good!
HELP ME!!!!!!!
If it doesnt appeal here, please move it to mix discussion but I have the same bad centered sound when I try to instantly record in 2 channels rather than 1.
