So im having some trouble with something im not sure what it is. alright well..first thing...i hook my mixer up through an rca cable...(stereo) and then i convert it into one 1/8'' (mono) input for my soundcard...and plug it into the line in...and when i record that way i only end up with the right side..so i tryed a stereo cord....that looks like this....

Got into prefrences or something like that and change it to stereo instead of mono. That might be it.

Okay, read that ^^^^. Notice the bold???? Think about it for a second. If you're plugging a stereo output into a mono input, what is going to happen????

Figured it out???

What you need, is a STEREO plug for the input to your soundcard, THEN you'll get both channels. :thumb:

edit: Whoops, I just re-read your post. Make sure the plug is all the way in. Also, if you're getting the right channel in mono, your headhones are probably backwards.

What you need to do is go into options > preferences, or file > preferences and switch your recording preferences to stereo.
