I frequently need to record just a vocal or bass part into Band In A Box. After setting track to mono it records only the left side. I have tried all the audio settings. Seems like it is stuck on stereo.

Hello dpresley,
When you go to Options | Preferences | Audio, underneath where it shows "Audio Track for THIS song" and "Preferred default track type for new songs", there is a "Record using" drop down. Is it set to both channels? And what are "Audio Track for THIS song" and "Preferred default track type for new songs" set to? Stereo or Mono? Also what version year of the program are you using?
Cheers, Ember

Thanks.
I have likely tried just about all settings. This song and all songs are set to mono. It is set to both channels. I have tried audio and user tracks (various). I have not installed the Feb update.
So far seems stuck. My work around is to try two mics or a stereo guitar ore butI just want a mono track on both sides.

Record normally and open the track in the BIAB Audio Edit Window and select the option - Edit|Convert The Convert option makes a stereo track mono or a mono track stereo.

Yes . Your workaround converts to mono. Once converted it seems to continue to work for more recordings. This is an obvious bug that should be fixed.
Why have a nono option if it doesn't work.

Why have a nono option if it doesn't work. What sort of an interface are you using, if any at all when you do your recordings? This is more just a general piece of information and not necessarily specific to Band-in-a-Box, but often when you only hear a recording out of one channel, it can be because you’re using a two-channel audio interface and the program you're recording in to is expecting the left signal on input one and the right signal on input two. If you only have one microphone and it’s connected to Input 1 on your audio interface, you’ll only record to the left channel and the right channel will be empty.
Cheers, Ember

Using M4 Motu.
As mentioned once recorded and converted the interface seems to work fine recording to mono. I am adding a mixer in front of the interface so I may be able output two channels (L and R) and hear my mono signal on both sides and avoid the manual conversion back to mono.
Has anyone confirmed that mono recording works in vers 2022? At least one other person noted same issue.

Using most up to date patch.
Using a mixer I am able to now record tracks 1 and 2 of a mic getting mono effectively. This should not be neccessry but at least it works.
