Microphone Only Recording Left or Right Channel – How To Fix

73.2K views on YouTube

Did you record something with a microphone, and now you only have sound in one channel, either the right or the left side? Listening to a recording where the vocal is hard-panned left or right can be really annoying. In this FL Studio tutorial, I will explain why your microphone only recorded to one channel (left or right), and how to fix this. I will explain how to prevent this from happening in the first place, and also how to fix it after it has happened. While this tutorial is intended for FL Studio, the process is fairly similar in most other daws.
