In article <6915@fluke.com>, moriarty@tc.fluke.com asked some questions
about using the MacRecorder to record stereo sounds on a Macintosh.
Here's an attempt to answer his question.

To record both left and right channels of a stereo sound simultaneously,
you need two MacRecorders.  However, it is possible to use just one
MacRecorder and record each track separately, although this will give
you syncronization headaches.  The MacRecorder software (SoundEdit) is
not compatible with the Impulse digitizer, so yu can't use your Impulse
for the second channel (sorry...).  The stereo sound plays back fine on
a Mac II and Mac IIx, and since the SE30 uses the same Apple sound chip,
I expect it should work fine there too, though I haven't see that yet.
(Just saw my first SE30 last night).  SoundEdit version 1.0 could play
in stereo, as does version 1.1.  I think a new version was announced at
MacWorld SF.
