Hi Graham,
1. All the UGens in my chucKestra are connected to pan2 objects, then the dac, but the recording comes out mono (standard rec.ck).
Is this due to the way stereo and mono ugens connect together? Is there some way I can get the stereo recording from the console?
Yes. The patch you are using is the mono version. Search for rec2.ck in the examples, it is stereo. The one you are using takes the output of the dac into a wavrecord. What you need to do is have two wavrecord objects and each one will record a channel. dac.left => wavrecord left => blackhole; dac.right => wavrecord right => blackhole; // set filenames etc .. The convention is to have a .L and a .R file. You can combine these together into a stereo track in Audacity or ecasound or some other audio editor or processor. This did show up on the mailing list around November 05. Try searching the archives for more details. I hope this helps. --art
