In Sonar (Power' the same?) when you assign the record input from the drop-down box on the track you likely have 'L, 'R, and 'Stereo versions to pick from each of a given pair available from your sound card... Would you mind telling me how to switch a track to a mono setting? I looked around but couldn't find how to do this.
Thanks
Well, I didn't. Couldn't let it go with that, so just to connect the rest of the dots..Thanks for the help, I have it sorted now
I'll cut to the chase: If your source (in this case, a single microphone?) is mono, you should record to a mono track. Then you use the mono track's pan control to position that sound on your stereo soundstage when you mix the song.

If it helps- think of the track, busses, are all 'stereo (dual linked paths, whatever). It's the content that differers. Start with a mono recorded track, little triangle icon says 'mono. Stick a stereo clip in that same track, it shifts to double-triangle. Same same.And if you want to put a stereo plugin in the effect bin of that track do you have to then set that track's interleave to stereo?
Similarly, if you send that track to a bus that has a stereo plugin in its effects bin, should you set the original track's interleave to stereo?
I guess you don't have to...but is it wise to?
Which are the stereo plugins in Sonar?
This interleave thing makes my brain hurt
