Trying to mix two mic sources from a show. Both from an R-44 so perfectly synced. I am using Audacity.
When I split stereo track and check the peak amplification, it is off by no more than .5dB in either direction between channels in each of the 2-channel pairs. The waveforms look nearly identical. When played back individually, each channel peaks out pretty close to the same.
But when played back together, one channel (left) peaks dramatically higher - like one is peaking 6dB or more differently. Given that the waveforms are both approximately channel balanced, can anyone give me any idea of why this would be?
