Hi--

Just curious, but if I record something into 1 channel... is there a way to put it into both channels AFTER I've recorded (I somehow used the wrong adapter when I recorded last week-- so it's in just 1 channel).

Yes. Audacity will be your friend. Split stereo track, KO the unwanted one and export as stereo. However, assuming you are saving your recordings as wavs, why not export to mono. Half the disk space usage and zero loss of signal quality!
