Hi,

I wanted to record my Stage in Stereo.
Channel 1 should be hearable on the left speaker and Channel 2 on the right speaker...
My Problem is, my PC has only one input and everything I record with it, comes out in Mono.

So how can I do this?

+1... I have the same problem...

Hello all,
It's time to spring for a USB audio interface.
In this day and age, how can a computer not be an integral part of your studio?

There are many great computer audio interfaces to choose from with prices ranging from $50 to over $1000.
I believe that Firewire is the best choice, but not every computer has Firewire ports.

USB is the most universal choice with USB being supported by Mac, Windows, and Linux distros.

One important consideration is analog to digital conversion rate "A/D conversion, or sample rate".
The bare minimum considered to be usable is 16 bit 44.1KHz which is traditionally CD quality.
The next step up which is much more common, is 24 bit 48KHz.
A high quality interface would be 24 bit 192KHz

One the low end, this is a good cost effective solution at $34

And it comes in RED


I use the MOTU UltraLite mk3 which doubles as a programmable compact 8 input, 8 output mixer with built in DSP effects, and MIDI I/O.
It also has the benefit of being both a USB and Firewire interface.
It is around the middle range of price and quality at about $500

Hanon, those are very nice options. I would like to add that Zoom (Samson) makes a nice device for recording multple intruments in stereo and/or mono at one time (or individually). See http://www.samsontech.com/products/prod ... rodID=2009 . It can be used as a stand-alone device (and mix nicely) or it can interface with many popular software programs. Street price in US is around $400.

Cheers...

If you've got a decent soundcard in your PC, why not use the headphone output (=stereo) on the nord? There'd be no need for an additional audio interface.
