Hi,

I am trying to make a recording of me singing to karaoke music.  The video that i've downloaded has left channel being the instrumental music and the right channel being the singing voice.  I would only like to record the left channel so that I can add a layer of just my voice so that it sounds like a cd with me singing.  

I am recording the music using wave out mix as the input and i went to my recording properties and made it so that it's shifted the balance all the way to the left under "wave out mix".  When I record with this setting, the playback still has both channels.  I have SoundMAX soundcard I believe.  

Thank you for your help!

In Easy Audio Capture have you tried moving the little slider just to the right of where the channels show all the way up or down?This should allow you to just get one channel or the other.

Terry,

Thank you for the reply.  I did do that but still there's sound coming out the right channel.

Try this, use the recording as you have it captured and put it into Sound Editor.  Use the balance to effectively mute one of the channels.  Export it to a new file name and use that file to add your voice.  Record that.  Now put the file back into Sound Editor and do a stereo channel mix to blend the two channels.  I have not tried that but I do know that you can take a mono and make a stereo out of it.

Please clarify, is the sound coming out of the right channel while you're recording, which may be okay, or during playback after you've recorded to your HD, which isn't okay?  The recording level won't necessarily affect the playback (what's coming out of the speakers) as you're actually recording, since that's affecting the internal recording channel.

Let us know.

Thank you so much!  That totally worked.  Thank you again!
