Provided that I leave the preferences untouched.
Specifically, I leave Recording as
Recording
Device: default
Cannels: 2 (Stereo)
and don't change it to
Recording
Device: default
Cannels: 1 (Mono)
which, sadly, is exactly what I would like to have
(recording new tracks/instruments in mono).
Is anyone experiecing the same?
What's the reason of this behaviour? aucat server exposing a stereo
recording device in a way that the application cannot use it as a mono
recording device? sox(1) can; why exactly is it that audacity(1) can't?
