how can I make a stereo recording in audacity
with *only* input 3
and 4?
I'm only able to get these signals if I start
a project
containing 4 tracks, thus having also 1 and 2 which of course are
silent. Perhaps I have to route 3 and 4 in some way that they
appear on 1
and 2?
And how?
With Jack you can route signals exactly as you want them.
Just start qjackctl.
Unless Audacity insists on makeing the wrong connections
itself and you can't disable that. In which case I'd dump
it immediately and use something else (e.g. Ardour).
Audacity uses PortAudio in a 'device centric' way. Therefore, it does
automatically make the wrong connections, and it starts or stops the
audio 'device' whenever you start or stop recording or playback, so
you can't connect the ports you want and start it going...
Peter.
This seems to be the same for every port audio app, so it should be as
simple as changing portaudio and getting the code out, right?
There are so many people who are annoyed by this, is there a reason why
it hasn't happen yet?
Where are the portaudio devs?
