I've put together some piccies of what's going on, here

OK, I've got a mystery I need cleared up before I can do anything else:

If I record in Stereo (with the amp's balance swung over to one speaker, in
front of the single mic) I get this:

If I set the recording software (Sound Forge) to Mono, with *nothing else*
changed I get this:

Note the 'upper limit' differences - what is going on here that I should
know?

(Excuse slightly different start points/lengths on what should be identical
clips!!)


Baffled? I know I am....!! ;-)


Something strange in the way Sound Forge reports the numbers, that's
all. I don't understand it any better than you, though.
