Hi there,
i'm new to Sound Forge and to this forum. I've got some
music on a four-track, and want to record it into Sound
Forge to put it onto a CD. However, I've got the panning
just right on the four-track, but when I connect the
four=track to the mic socket on the PC, I'm only getting a
signal on the right channel and hiss on the left channel.
is there anyway i can pan the music on the four track and
have it panned the same way on Sound Forge. Please help!!!

Don't use the mic input. It is for microphones only. Use
the line input.

Hi Tambu,

Like Sreams suggested, don't use the mic input. The mic
input is a mono input, meaning it only provides input for
one channel. Instead use the line input, which provides for
two channels (stereo).

Also, in Sound Forge be sure to set up your new file as
stereo too before recording.

Best,
Scott
