dallascowboyfan Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Does the stereo mic settings work with a UX2? I've tried, but I only get one channel feed from the mic. Is there something I need to change in the dashboard? I've tried it plugged into mics 1 and 2, on both I only get one channel, opposite each mic.

silverhead Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I'm not sure I understand. Each mic is a mono device; you can't generate a stereo signal on input. It seems correct to me that at the time of input/recording each mic is assigned its own channel, L or R. At the OUTPUT or post-recording stage you should be able to blend the two inputs into a stereo signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallascowboyfan Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 I'm trying to send a screen shot of the settings in Pod Farm! It has a setting for MIC STEREO. When you pull down the option in PodFarm it's got mic1 mic2 mic Stereo. Let me see if I can reformat the pic and send it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallascowboyfan Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 If set on this setting, wouldn't it automatically combine both mic inputs to make it stereo? I've had this unit for almost 20 years now, and just started getting curious about it. So, yes I'm still a newby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 OK, so having selected Mic Stereo, what exactly is happening that you think should be different? Are both mics delivering a signal, simultaneously, for POD Farm processing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can hear it in the headphones. Depends on which mic input I plug the mic into, as to which channel it outputs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallascowboyfan Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 And the meters in Pod farm even show only one side is working, in that setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallascowboyfan Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 I spent all night last night going through the Manuel from cover to cover, and I can't figure this out, which is very unusual for me. I'm usually pretty up on this stuff, but it don't help that the Manuel keeps jumping from one set top to another. Makes it kind of hard to keep up with which one your looking at.

silverhead Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Just to be sure... are you actually using two mics, one plugged into each input? The symptoms you describe suggest you may be using only one mic and expecting a stereo input. That's impossible. A stereo input requires two separate physical input sources which it calls L and R.

dallascowboyfan Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 OK, that's my answer! It's not possible to get the stereo affects with just one condensor mic! As I said I'm a Newby, and we bought this just to do family Karaoke with the kids, so I just never looked into it before. Now I got a son, who is taking this a little more serious, so I started checking into it a little further. I'll just buy him another matching condenser mic, and fix it that way. Thanks for the help bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help bro! Well, now I understand what you are trying to do, and you can do it with Pod Farm. I didn't say you can't get stereo EFFECTS with just one mic. I said you can't get a stereo input signal. But even with a mono input (one mic) you can get stereo FX in your output signal when using a device/instrument like POD Farm. That has stereo FX that work by taking a mono input, splitting it internally into duplicate L and R channels, processing each channel separately, and producing a stereo output. So by using one mic and using Pod Farm stereo FX blocks you can generate a stereo output. It's just that you won't be able to distinguish between different external inputs. For instance, you can have two singers sharing the one mic and set the FX up so that both voices simultaneously ping-pong back and forth between the two speakers. But you can't have one voice in one speaker and the other voice in the other speaker, or have the two voices panned differently in the stereo field. For that you would need two mics.

dallascowboyfan Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 Got ya, that helps a lot. I figure as we get more into this together, I'll pick up more and more. Thanks again bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
