I am having difficulty when 
  making a mono recording via the USB port.

The recorded level on the 
  mono track always comes out at L+R-6dB, regardless of whether the audio track 
  is set to 'Mono', 'Left Channel' or 'Right Channel'.&nbsp; The pan control 
  slider also has no effect.

The result is that the recording clips at 
  -6dBFS, giving rise to a 6dB loss of headroom.&nbsp; I can get around the 
  problem by making a stereo recording, doing 'Split Stereo Track' and then 
  deleting the silent track; but I wonder if there is a more elegant 
  fix?

I am running Audacity 1.2.6 under Windows XP SP2; the ADC is a 
  Tapco 
  Link-USB.

John,


you need to go to preferences


audio in/out,


choose whichever driver you're supposed to use in the 
drop down menu, and TELL audacity you want ONE SINGLE CHANNEL, NOT TWO, NOT 
STEREO.


then you will be set up to record into your machine, 
and before you actually record can set your level with the gain slider, and 
monitor it so it doesn;t clip by clicking once on the input level monitor part 
of the gui.


if you still have problems, try googling ASIO 4 all, 
which may or may not compound the problem....your mileage may 
vary!


but you should be good, once audacity KNOWS where you 
want your input source to come from.


peace
