Let's say I have the Motif plugged into channels 5 and 6 of the mixer. Wouldn't I then turn up sends 1 and 2 on both channels 5 and 6?

If you are, you should only have one send turned up on each of the two inputs that you have your keyboard connected to. So for example, for the left side of your keyboard, you would only turn up send 1 and for the right, you would only turn up send 2.

If you are recording a fat string patch, you should hear the stereo imaging of the sample. You have the motif es, don't you? most of those sounds have good stereo imaging. Of course, bass or some of the vintage rhodes sounds will be mono.

I just learned today though from someone on midimag that it could still sound mono even if you record stereo until you start panning stuff.

If they are connected to a pair of inputs on your mixer, do you have the inputs hard panned to opposite sides? Gord ----- Original Message ----- From: Omar Binno To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 8:41 AM Subject: [ddots-l] stereo sounding mono Hello, I'm recording instrument tracks in Sonar with the input of the track being stereo. I'm using the edirol fa66 as my soundcard. I know all my connections are correct, and all my settings in sonar for playback and recording are set to the edirol. For some reason though, the tracks still sound mono, (with the instruments sounding in the middle rather than surrounding.) I hear this through mixing headphones. Any suggestions? Thanks.
