Re: Recording two inputs with one socket Click Here to Report this message to the Moderator Posted by Gecko (from: 199.46.198.232) on December 02, 2003 at 17:48:31: In Reply to: Recording two inputs with one socket posted by Simon on November 27, 2003 at 14:06:19: The Mic in on most computers is a mono input. either the tip or ring is used for a low voltage phantom power, not an extra channel. If you want to record two tracks at once you will need to use a pre amp and the line in with a "two Mono socket to Stereo plug/jack" adapter. : My computer has one microphone socket. I am under the impression that this is a stereo socket but i don't know for certain. I want to simultaneously record two mono tracks using this one stereo socket. Is this possible? : I have tried it with by using a: : "Two 0.25in Stereo Sockets to One 0.25in Stereo Jack, Adaptor" - quoted from catalog : Plugging two guitar leads into the two sockets, then plugging the plug into my computer (converting to 3.5mm with a 0.25in to 3.5mm adaptor) : So far this hasn't worked. Maybe I should use a: : "Two 0.25in Mono Sockets to One 0.25in Stereo Jack, Adaptor" - quoted from catalog : This being two monos to one stereo. Might work? If anyone knows anything about this, thanks in advance for your help. : Simon Follow Ups: Post a Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Comments: : The Mic in on most computers is a mono input. either the tip or ring is used for a low voltage phantom power, not an extra channel.
