I am wanting to take backing tracks that I perform with at bars and match the sound level in Cool Edit Pro. For instance, the bar already has a bunch of Karaoke backing tracks that they use with their house band. I am wanting to acquire more but, I want to make sure they are the same sound level...

I'm going to be doing vocals and various instruments including guitar and bass but, for my experiment last night I was using a bass guitar running into my interface using a standard instrument cable. I tried recording in mono. When I listen back to it, the sound only comes out of one side of my...
