The concern is valid, to me. First step might be to throw a stereo reverb on and at least regain a little width. Then I'd experiment with various stereo enhancer type plugins like the Waves PS22, Fruity Stereo Enhancer, etc. Or just plain shift the left/right channel by 20-40ms. It might help to treat your bass frequencies independently from your highs by ...

The simplest way to see these for yourself is to look at the metal connections on your jacks. You'll find a stereo one has one more metal ring than a mono one. The mono jack has a tip and a ring, and where that ring is overlaps two of the stereo jack's rings, so plugging a stereo jack into a mono plug effectively shorts your right channel to ground at the ...

If we're talking about 1/4" 'phone jack' patch cables, you can easily tell the difference by the number of conductors on the plug. 2-conductor cables are unbalanced, and can be identified by the "tip/sleeve" configuration of conductors on the plug. You can call this "TS" for short: In contrast, a 3-conductor cable is balanced, and can be identified by the ...

You can without any concerns plug a stereo cable into an unbalanced mono jack; as long as you only send mono signals (i.e. L and R channels equal) it will work just fine, except for the usually -3 dB pan law and possible short-cicuiting of the ring connector; the latter is however unlikely and not harmful for line connections. (It can be harmful for e.g. ...

I'm having a tough time understanding what that reviewer is talking about. "Most headsets use stereo mics."?!? A microphone is, in it's nature, mono. The way your adapter is wired, yes, it is just a regular TRRS jack. Left, Right, Mic, Ground (not necessarily in that order :). I couldn't find any wiring diagrams for this adapter, but I don't think ...

SoundStudio used to be a lot simpler in previous versions. Similar to Audacity, but native for the Mac and a little less complicated. I still use that old version when I don't need multitrack capability, but both the new version and Audacity can be a bit complicated. I would take a strong look at Fission. Rogue Amoeba is a great software company that makes ...
