Right channel only

[Irij]

you see. i bought a firepod, set it up, everything went perfectly, but
when i plugged a mic into my input 1 (SM57) and clicked record in my
cubase or audition it just wouldnt record both right and left
channels. (in stereo)

in my channel setup i have;

and in the multichannel view it looks like;

any advice would be helpful. there shouldnt be anything wrong with FP
since it's a new one and it works fine when just monitoring through
the phones.

Best Regards, Serjem

That's because you only have one microphone producing one channel.

Why should it? You're plugging a mono source - a single microphone -
into just one channel. It's mono. No point in recording it twice. If
you want it to come out of both speakers of a stereo playback system,
pan that mono channel centre.

You have only one input, so you'll get only one channel recorded. There
may be something in the software that comes with the Firepod that allows
you to route one input (the mic connector) to more than one channel, or
there may not.

If not, you can use an XLR Y cable to split the mic signal to two channels,
or you can just set up your recording program to record mono.
