Fw 410, Luna Microphones And Mono, Noob Problem Options

[uvbnskoold]

Hey there, I'm hoping you guys/gals can help me out.

I have a firewire 410 and 2 m-audio luna microphones, hooked up to my powermac g5. If I'm using one mike, and when I listen via headphones/speakers I hear stereo sound. When I record and playback, it goes single channel (and I notice when I look at the signal monitor in say, Garageband, it also confirms single channel, depending on which mike input I have going at the time). My dillemma is that I want to be able to control this... but mostly I only want to have to use one mike to get stero sound. 'Can' I set it up so that one microphone will record in stereo, or am I doomed to 'have' to use two mikes to get a recording stereo sound? I'm pretty sure I should't have to use 2, but as I noted in my title... I'm a noob and I need some help.

Thanks!

It is recorded, or heard as a mono track... same sound comming through both speekers or sides of the headphone. Mono tracks can be panned left or right, depending on your needs. Also you can duplicate the mono track to have 2 mono tracks that could be spread out left and right... This will spread the sound in the stereo field.
