Microphone Only Recording Left Channel, Solution (FAQ Series)

In this FAQ entry, I explain why your microphone is only recording to the left channel, or right channel, and tell you how to fix the problem in your recording software or streaming software.

DEFINITIONS (which I should have included in the video)

STEREO: A stereo signal has multiple channels of audio, each of which can be reproduced by separate speakers. Meaning in a 2 speaker setup (or in headphones) the left speaker will be producing a different sound than the right.

MONO: A mono signal is made up of a single sound source that is reproduced by all speakers simultaneously. This means what you hear in the left speaker, you will also hear the same in the right speaker.
