sure you can record both channels!

you must route the signal correctly....

you know that the input is stereo right?

well, it should be...

I will upload a picture of the Routing Window.
maybe you could tell me if I did something wrong, or recommend me a different setup.

PL cables
Mic ->(XLR to XLR) PreAmp -> (XLR to PL) Luna input.
Amplifier (PL to PL) -> Luna output

Recording sounds from movies directly to the host, kinda messy I know...:X
could you upload a simple default project for best quality or picture of it?


do you see anything wrong in my project or my connections that should cause Luna to record only the left side?

Chances are that you might have a faulty RCA phono connection. Reach round the back and gently wiggle the cables to determine whether that might be the case or not.

As you record a mono source try luna analog source L in a mono ch on the mixer,if there is no sound try R.

I'm sry I don't really understand...
I connect PL cables not RCA.
I don't use any adapter, unless you are talking about the mic-preamp, but I also tried to connect the mic directly to luna with a PL cable and Ive also tried to record my korg karma directly to luna's input and had the same problem.

that is what I did until now, L out | L out
there is no sound for R out, so I connect Left side twice to get mono at least...

but I want to record in stereo.

If you're going via a mic pre you need to determine whether it's actually sending out a stereo signal, so send the mic pre to something else if possible to determine this.

Btw, the Luna doesn't have a 'mic source' that you mention, it's an unbalanced line level input.

you need a 2 mono to stereo adaptor plugged into the card to access both channels.
