separating left and right channels of line in

[ashwin8888]

I want to separate the left and right channels of line in input, that means to say that I would connect two SEPARATE sources of audio to left channel and right channel each. Now I don't want these channels to be mixed and then separated, I just want them to remain independent.

please suggest me how to do this

Um...what?

Describe your setup and how you have it connected...

What software are you using?

You can just add 2 empty tracks to your project. Set the input of track #1 to "<Your sound device> Left" and the other to Right. Then you have the stereo signal on 2 separate mono tracks.

If I'm understanding you correctly and I'm thinking I probably am not, all you need to do is hard pan your channels. In other words, say you have a CD going into channel one and a drum machine going into channel two. Channel one would be panned to the very left and channel two would be panned to the very right. i.e. Hard Left / Hard Right

If that doesn't compute, maybe on your board, your Pan controls start at Left 10 db and as you turn it clockwise it goes to 0-db and as you continue to turn it clockwise it becomes Right. So one Audio source will be Left Counter-clockwise and the other Audio source will be Right -Clockwise

My guess is he's using a standard sound card with a single 1/8" stereo Line In jack. And 2 sources hooked into it via a single stereo cable, and he wants to record those 2 channels to separate tracks.

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding.

Yeah it's one of those questions where it's just way too obvious for even a person with absolutely no experience recording can basically look at it and figure it out, so I'm thinking it's gotta be something else he's talking about and can't explain it better.

This is how Show & Tell came about.
