Recently purchased a sony USB port turntable as I wanted to digitize my Sun Ra LP "Of Mythic Worlds". The problem I have not been able to resolve is it is only recording one track. I am using Audacity for the transfer, it shows 2 tracks but they are identical. You can hear Ra real well, but the saxes sound like they're in another room which tells me I'm only getting one of the stereo tracks. Does anyone have an idea as to what I need to do to fix the problem? The USB cable I am using is not the one that came with the turntable... could that be the problem?

Hey Lee
Sounds like you are not using a stereo cable. I am not familiar with
USB audio but suggest you use the cable that came with the turntable,
in theory it should give you a stereo signal. May also be an issue
with the audio inputs on the computer. When I digitized my records I
ran them through a M-Audio stereo soundcard to do the digital
conversion and recorded them to BIAS Peak. Of Mythic Worlds has
always been a favorite... good luck.

it does not seem right, you should get stereo -- I don't know the particular device you've bought, but the usb cable is a digital thing, so there's no left-right to it as there was with analog equipment; the analog-to-digital conversion is happening in the turntable itself, and then the stereo signal handed to your computer via the USB

Is this your first attempt at using Audacity? If you've tried other media as input to Audacity without trouble, then maybe the problem's in the t-table.
Try giving the LP a listen without first going through Audacity. If the LP sounds fine without first running it through Audacity, then I'd say there's a setting in the program than should be changed. If the problem persists, then check your phono cartridge - could it be miswired or not fully engaged with the tone arm?
Good luck! Troubleshooting can be very frustrating.
