recording JUST the left?

More gremlins during open mic night.

For some reason the USB was only recording the left channel, or atleast the right channel was VERY quiet.

No idea why this is, it was playing through iTunes, into the desk via headphone out then back into the Mac with USB fine. I had ProLevel up and could see both channels perfectly. Start recording and the right channel drops to pretty much silence.

Hopefully this will all be alleviated by the imminent arrival of our new Firewire desk. Meanwhile, any ideas?

Open mic get an upgrade

Jon and I (Jon is the other member of the audio engineering team at The Fawcett) are looking at getting a nice Firewire mixer for.. well, not just the Open Mic Nights but for anything else which might come up but also just because it's got flashy lights and LEDs. We have so far decided in this Phonic Helix 12 which should allow each audio track to go as a separate track to Garageband for remixing, fixing levels, EQ etc later. So, if anyone has any experience with such setups and useful suggestions, please speak up. Thanks.
