I have recorded some vocals using 2 mics and both sides of the track recorded, but on playback I only hear the left side. Am I doing something wrong?

John,

What software have you used to record the vocals?

Regards,
Noel

I'm using Real Band. Using 2 SM58 mics. Listening to playback with headphones.

Welcome to the friendliest, most musically knowledgeable site on the planet. Some folks on here could swap theory with you at a thousand paces but choose to hang their credentials and egos at the door upon entering.

You are encouraged to ask any questions without fear of being flamed or criticized, we were all newbies at one time.

We have had a few trolls but they don't stay around after seeing the depth of knowledge and experience to be found here.

Whatever your level of musical knowledge and/or experience, you will definitely learn something from these wonderful folks.

John, pardon if it seems like a ridiculous question... Did you check your setup outside RealBand on mp3 or youtube? Both channels are ok for playback?

The reason I mentioned this... I almost destroyed headphone jack a few days ago. So when stuff like your happens, that I do not understand, I usually follow this protocol.

1) Close out of all programs, listen to plain mp3 on windows media player. If unhappy stuff is still happening, I would try to restart PC. Usually that solves step #1

2)If step #1 was successful, I would open "troubled" software and look closely at mixer balance?... If mixer does not solve it try external interface (UMC204HD, I assume) proprietary software driver setting, if there is an issue with L / R channels?

Let us know if you figure it out.

Boy do I feel stupid. I tried playing a BB file thru the audio interface and got the same result. Turns out, my headphone jack is stereo, but the 1/4 adapter I plugged into the interface was only mono. The only reason I'm copping to this right now is because some other noob will probably have the same problem somewhere down the line and I'd like to save him some headaches.
(Sigh)
