The Windows application is recording a stereo track, so expects a stereo microphone. You'll need to use something that can record just mono[phonic] input. Audacity is free and relatively simple for tasks like that.Hello, I received the microphone today, etc.! Already good news on the scarlet 2i2 it doesn't go green when there's the same TV we talked about next door! We only hear my dog when he yells ahah! Otherwise I have a problem! I can only hear myself with one ear when I record myself with the windows tape recorder! But otherwise both ears work... so i dont understand
The green ring indicates you are at proper recording levels. If you set the gain too high or you are really loud the ring may turn red which means the audio signal may be clipping (not good). A little less than lighting up green is still OK. If you see level meters (VU meters) in your software, where are those hitting..... -16dB to -12dB?Another thing, what is the purpose of the gain that lights up green on the 2i2? When I talk further or lower, my friends can still hear me but it doesn't light up green. Why? Is it bad? Do I have to raise it?
Thanks
which software?
So if I'm not in green and it doesn't light up, everything's okay until I'm in the red?
Or do I really have to be in the green every time I talk?
I don't see the difference when I talk (I think?)
The microphone is really close enough to me, if I stick out my tongue all the way, I touch it lol. (I didn't try, but that's about it).
And for the gain, I'm at 6-7 I'd say
