[FAQ]If sound comes from only one speaker when recording microphone

This problem may occur when recording microphones using a professional audio interface.

Unlike the general microphone, when recording through the audio interface, the problem occurs because the recording is in monaural.

Go to Tools-Options in Ocam's menu and tap the Sounds tab on the left.


If you only hear sound from the left side of the speaker when recording the microphone, change the input source to Input 1 (left channel). If you only hear sound from the right side of the speaker, change the input source to Input 2 (right channel).


* Note

-The mic's input is of course mono, but for low-cost mics, it's physically mono and the incoming data is in stereo. (At this time, since there is only one microphone, the input stereo signal is the same data for both left and right data.) However, for a professional microphone using the audio interface, both the actual input is mono and the data input in the program is mono. This is why you should do this.

-If you change the input source to input 1 (left channel) because the sound is only from the left side of the microphone when recording, but the sound is not recorded at all, but instead to input 2 (right channel), the sound is played normally. is. In this case, it is necessary to check whether the speaker position is physically changed and whether the input of the cable is reversed.

[Tips]How to record the microphone and computer sound together during recording (Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10)

Click the Sound button in the Ocam main window.
 


The following menu pops up and it is checked by default that no microphone is recorded.

 

 


Select the microphone you want to record. (If the microphone does not appear in the list, see below.)
 


If checked, the settings are applied as follows and the microphone is recorded together.


If the microphone device is not listed above even though the microphone is connected, proceed as follows.

(If the menu related to the microphone does not appear at all and the system sound recording menu only appears, or the microphone item appears but all microphone devices are not displayed, the audio is not the default microphone device. The interface unit should be listed and follow this procedure if it does not.)

 
 
Go to Start Menu-Control Panel.
Find and click the Sounds item in Control Panel.
 

 
 
The following window will appear. Click the Recording tab.
 

 
 
If you go to the Recording tab, no audio device is set. Click the right button on the white background to open the popup menu. (Or the recording device appears in the list but the desired device does not appear)
 

 
 
Click Show Unavailable Devices.
 

 
 
 
Select the microphone device you want to use and press the right button to click Enable.
(If you are using an audio interface, you may have a separate recording device called a line input in addition to the microphone, and you must record with that device.)
 

 
 
 

 
 
Click the Sound button on the OHCAM to check if the microphone unit is working properly.
