Mic output only left speaker

[Lakiscy]

I got a problem, while recording from the mic im output sound is only from the left speaker, right speaker no sound. When i open my sound card panel, where the mic is connected, i see that the right level bar of the mic in the analog 1/2 input is too low. Is it my mics problem or i should change any settings

It sounds like a connection problem at the jack.

Double check to see that you're recording in mono instead of stereo, and check all of your cables...hopefully, process of elimination will help you narrow down whether it's a hardware or software issue, and fix it....

When i sing with the mic, both speakers give sound. When i record, with cubase, the result audio track is only in one speaker.

Also, in my sound card panel (M audio) in the analog input always i see that the right side volume level is always low, not zero.

its not jack btw its xlr

I had the same problem using a Yam AW1600. Found out that I had messed with the panning and had shut-down the left speaker via the unit's signal flow.

I know nothing about Cubase; however, if you have diddled with panning on a previous recording, you may have closed the signal flow to the speaker which gives you no ooomph!

Just a suggestion for you to check out.

While it's a little odd that it comes out both speakers when not recording, that otherwise sounds completely normal to me. When you record with a stereo track in a DAW, you have to have audio coming into both channels.... If you only have a mic connected to one channel, you'll only get a signal on one side or the other.

To fix this, you need to create a mono track in the DAW (Cubase) and set it to record only from one input. Then, you'll get a pan knob for the channel and can pan it to the center if that's where you want it to be.

Ohh.. you are right i recheck and the only output is the left speaker, even not when recording, my mistake sorry. I had to remove the wires to found that out. Thanks for helping me recheck .

So i guess now the problem goes to the technically side at the microphone or at the wire?

Or i need to choose mono audio track instead of stereo in cubase...

Yes. You need to choose a mono track. There's no reason to record from both inputs unless you are either A. using a stereo mic that provides a different signal to both inputs or B. using two individual mics in a stereo placement to record the same instrument.
