Can anyone tell me how to record stereo sound into my computer? It's got a single mic input, but I want to be able to mix stereo sound. And if I could avoid spending thousands of dollars that'd be nice.
I also clicked onto the fact that I can run the computer through a guitar amp, so play Fruityloops beats etc. That plus the guitar or banjo opens up endless possibilities for a live act, that people could potentially dance to.
First Nelson gig on Saturday - fundraiser for the Mapua Kindergarten.
Spent the last couple of days planting native trees on the section here, will be good to watch them grow. It's so sunny here! Nothing like the gloom & gales of Wellington...

Audacity is a good free sound recording and editing tool (audacity.sourceforge.net).
If you use that, you need to change the preferences to record stereo, as it does mono by default.
The annoying thing is, it doesn't seem to have a stereo input jack. There's the mono mic input, a headphone output, and some USB ports. Do I need to get a soundcard or (shock horror) another computer?
I've already got Audacity - has opened up a lot of possibilities, it's just the mono input that's holding me back at the moment.
