You can't make "stereo" from a mono source, unless it's just effects trickery. A completely separated far-left and far right panned piano/vocal recording (which can can 'technically' be called stereo.like an old Beatles recording), a collapsed panned left and right piano/vocal recording that brings both closer the center.or a completely mono recording, centered coming equally from both speakers. The way you present the whole thing is that you will have one of three things. If you have an electronic piano, if it's stereo, record it first as a stereo track, then record the vocals?) (This is assuming you are talking about having an acoustic piano mic'ed up. The more interesting thing you might try is to use the two mics to record the piano in stereo (or two mono tracks, left and right), and THEN record a third mono track with the vocals, centered. If you are using the mixer and either channel is panned center, it'll go to both EMU inputs, and show up in both recording channels. Track two should be EMU right channel, mono.

Once you combine them into one track (mono or stereo) you lose a lot of that ability.Īnyway, you need to assign track one input to the EMU left channel, mono.

Leaving them separate allows you to work on each separately with effects, levels, compression, etc. And, what that does is take an actual (technically) stereo (as in separate tracks panned) thing and collapse it to mono, anyway. If you are worried about it being panned vocal left, piano right after recording, you can always pan the tracks to the center. Not sure why you want to use a mixer in the path when you still have only two mics, (or a mic and an electronic piano?) which the EMU can handle? The mixer won't make it "stereo", unless you have a stereo effect plugged in to the piano or vocal mic auxilliary effects loop.
