I am currently doing some cassette audio to computer digitalizing. I have a Optimus deck, cleaned at start to be safe, works fine, has tape bias options and have been experimenting with it. I got a simple Digitnow USB audio capture that works, got the audio captured, but it is only recording to one channel. The input list as USB Microphone and I read that mics record to one channel only but will play back in stereo. I also tried the red/white to a single line in input and got the same. Should the record input show in stereo or am I overthinking things? I am using Audacity for software btw. I am just trying to get the best product I can with my simple setup. One thing that has been bugging me too is the playback output. The audio is being captured, but I cannot hear the audio as it is being recorded. Had a feeling that may be a setting I am missing somewhere but could not figure that out. Any help or tips would be appreciated. Not an expert by any means. Been a while since I messed audio recording and brushing off the dust. Thanks
