    Well, thank you very much for the response. I went from being in complete disbelief that this device couldn’t do what I thought it should do, to complete disbelief that I didn’t know it was working correctly the whole time. Thank you for clearing it up.

    I’m sorry, perhaps I’m confused. I’m using a Rode NTG-3 and a Countryman EMW Lavaliere. Are those microphones only capable of giving a mono signal? I might be more confused than I thought.

    I’m sorry, I’m not sure I know what you mean. I’m trying to get input 1 to give me a stereo audio file, and input 2 to also give me a stereo audio file. Normally I’ve seen these as a single audio file with two stereo tracks. Is this incorrect?

    I just spent about three hours with it, read manuals etc. I’ve variously tried to solve this problem before, but hadn’t tested the result until the next shoot. So, I thought that “dual stereo” mode is what I was looking for, but what that seems to do is to record two individual mono channels, and then create a new file of 2 mono channels at a lower db rating. There’s a “4-channel” mode, but that seems to only allow you to designate inputs 1 and 2 to the same single mono status, while allowing a mini-jack to record extra audio channels through the 3rd and 4th input. It’s really nuts to me, and I’ve been using this thing for a long time now under many assurances that it would give me professional audio under normal circumstances. I really do hope I’m somehow mistaken, but I’ve run out of options personally.

    Re – specific test methods: The file it makes is 2-channel. Mic 1 on the Left, Mic 2 on the Right. If it were what I want, it’d be a 4-channel audio file, the first two comprising channel 1, the last two comprising channel 2.

  • Yep, that sounds like a complete solution. Thanks!

  • That did it. Thanks a million.
