Recording NS2 stereo outputs into a Pro Tools Stereo Track?

Postby Lord_Nord » 02 Mar 2015, 20:53

Hey folks. FYI, I'm a novice when it comes to recording software knowledge, and so is my friend who just set up a home studio with Pro Tools. As the pilot project, we've been working on some tunes with my Nord Stage 2. I send out 2 lines from Channels 1 and 2 from the NS2 to his interface which then connects to his Pro Tools software. He says the only way he knows how to record these inputs is as two mono tracks. He wants to know how we can merge the two inputs to create one true stereo track. Anyone know?

Thanks!

I think you should rather ask this in a Pro Tools forum as it is not related to the fact that you are recording a NS2 or any other stereo source. Anyway I see no issue in recording it as 2 mono tracks, setting them to full Left/Right panpot when doing the mixdown will preserve the original stereo image of the NS2 output.

Make sure the I/O Setup in Pro Tools has stereo channels mapped to the available inputs on the interface. You should be able to create a new path if they are not already there. This will depend on the hardware interface itself.

Then, just use a stereo audio track and a stereo audio input from your interface.
