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?

Do you mean one's more clipped than the other ? Why does this surprise you ?

Graham

I think he means that the second one apparently clips at -6dB

I hadn't spotted that. I'm sure that's becasue of the way the monoing is done.

Graham

Probably, but both Audition and Nuendo sum to mono at 0dB. I can't
think why Sound Forge would do this.
