Topic: Swapped Left and Right - Help!

[John Willett]

Okay...so I did something I've never done before in all my years of taping:  I accidentally plugged my left microphone into the right channel of my preamp, and vice versa.  I realized the error when I glanced up about two minutes into the set, but that's two minutes too late!  Is the fix for this simply swapping the left and right channels using Audacity (the software I used to record)?

Thanks!

Yes - just swap left and right in the DAW.

If you can't swap, convert to two nono files and copy/paste them into a new file the correct way round.

It's all very easy.

I doubt I would care if I did this.

The only time I cared was running MS but I did have red mark on right to make set up simple

and why I record all track as mono not stereo pairs.  Load it in the DAW and pan the way you want it to be.

This is what I would do w/ my r4 and make it easy to run matrix
