Your problem is probably that you're using a mono mic with a mono plug and plugging it into a stereo jack on your camera. That mono mic is feeding both your left and right "stereo" channels.
You don't actually have "stereo" since you can't get stereo from a mono mic with a mono XLR output. You have "dual mono", which is the same sound on both your left and right channels. Either delete one of the channels or mute one of the channels and make the mono version again. -- Bill C. http://blog.fastcompany.com/experts/bcammack/ --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "J.
