Then you can choose a stereo input in SONAR and the L and R will get recorded. Most keyboards these days do output in stereo, but it's not absolutely necessary.īut, if you want to take advantage of the stereo capabilities of your keyboard, you'll need a cord to plug into the L/R outputs of the keyboard and the single, 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo input of your sound card. If you use a stereo input with a mono instrument (or output, as in this case) it will only record on the left side regardless of whether you've selected a stereo input in SONAR. If youre recording from the Left/Mono output, you need to select the Left input in the SONAR track you're recording to. As a thumb rule, vocals, guitars, basses and similar mono sources are recorded in mono. If it only doubled the mono signal on two tracks, that is NOT real stereo.Īlso, it's no use recording in stereo, if the sound itself is not stereo. I don't quite understand how Audacity could do it any other way. This is the same in all real DAWs, it's nothing SONAR specific.

Getting audio only on one side of the stereo track is simply due to the fact that you input only mono/left signal. I assume the audio input of the PC is stereo, it most likely is. There can not be a stereo sound without two sound sources. What kind of a cable do you use connecting Gi to PC? If you want to record in stereo, you must use both left AND right outputs of the Gi, and use an adapter for getting them in one stereo plug to put into PC, or use the headphone output, which is stereo. You could try downloading free ASIO4ALL driver, which works for many. It is quite possible that you're right in assuming it can't transmit audio from the Gi itself, but that would be odd, because then you'd need another soundcard for recording the Gi audio.ĪSIO drivers are not supported by integrated soundchips, and MME is the poorest driver there is. I'm not sure what it exactly means that the USB-port supports both audio and MIDI. Buying 1000 dollar hardware you should study carefully how to use it. There should be no reason to use the integrated soundchip. Thanks in advance.Īs mentioned in the Gi specs, it is also an audio/MIDI interface. I’m willing to provide any further information in this matter if it helps. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me in this area. I may be wrong, but please let me know if it works. Oh, and one more thing, I thought the USB port was only meant to be used for MIDI, I don’t think it supports transfer of music played on the keyboard to the computer. I tried ASIO, WDM and one other one that was available in the options but when I recorded music using these other drivers, I kept getting a distorting clicking noise in my tracks. Am I doing something wrong here or is the software itself having these problems? I currently record using the MME 32bit drivers. Since a keyboard emits dual channel signals, I’m surprised that the software cannot pick it up. Mono channels are used only for mics, guitars, and other instruments which cannot emit stereo/dual channel signals. However, in Sonar I find it disappointing that I have to record as left/mono channel. The right track remains blank!! Previously, when I was using audacity software to record music, it used to record simultaneously on both tracks in stereo mode. When I start recording the music that I play on my keyboard, it keeps getting recorded only on the left side of the stereo track in Sonar LE 8.5. Since there is only one input channel on my motherboard, I can use only either the left/mono out or headphones out from my keyboard. Regarding my Juno Gi, I think it has these ouputs: Left/mono, Right, Headphones. The blue channel I was referring to is actually and audio input channel on my motherboard where all most musical instruments are connected. Firstly, my computer specs: M/B: MSI Z77A GD65 CPU: Intel core i5 3570k HDD: WD caviar blue 500gb I don’t have a dedicated sound card, so I’m using the integrated one and it runs on Realtek high definition audio drivers. Ok I’ll try to explain my problem a little more elaborately. Thank you so much for replying to my thread.
