Hello,
I made my first recording the other night. The show was the Wayne Shorter Quartet. My rig:
AT 831 (SP-CMC-2) > Core Sound Mic 2496 > Core Sound PDAudio-CF (IPAQ 5555)
I'll post some photos and some impressions of the Core Sound PDA recording setup in the next couple of days.
As the subject line of this post indicates, I did have some problems. I purchased the AT mics from Sound Professionals that are wired for phantom power. They have a mini xlr connector which plugs into a "phantom power adaptor" made by Samson. One of these adaptors was defective and as a result the right channel did not record. I did check the levels during the show, but did not notice the problem. I don't know why I didn't notice it, it should have been obvious (newbie mistake).
Anyway, the left channel recording sounds fantastic and I am hoping to salvage the show. I realize that it will never be a perfect stereo recording, but is there any way to fix it so that the left channel signal plays on both channels? I could do this easily in analog using a splitter, but is there any software I can use to accomplish this digitally?
Thanks.

You most definitely can do this, quite easily in Wavelab, Cool Edit Pro, or Soundforge. I think soundforge has a free trial, if you don't have any of these. A free editor like Goldwave would probably let you do this as well. My buddy had the same issue with a recording a few months back. Much better to have a mono recording than no recording at all!!

yep, just keep the good channel, and mirror it to the other channel!!!

Thanks,
It turns out that this was a much easier process than I expected. The recording sounds pretty good, I think.
