How to Use Two Microphones in Adobe Soundbooth

You may use two microphones to record audio in Adobe Soundbooth.

Soundbooth was an audio recording, editing and production program from Adobe that was replaced with Audition. The program allows you to turn your laptop or desktop computer into a virtual recording studio. While each instrument or vocal is recorded separately using a single microphone, two microphones may be utilized in Soundbooth to create a stereo sound in your file.

Instructions

1. Attach an audio interface device, with at least two available input ports, to your computer. Use the USB or Firewire cable that came with your interface device to connect the device to an available port on your computer.

2. Connect the two microphones to the audio interface device. Attach one end of the cable to the microphone and the other to an available Input or Mic In port on the interface device.

3. Launch Soundbooth. Click the “Edit” menu and highlight the “Preferences” option to display a list of available options. Click the “Audio Hardware” option to display a list of available hardware, in which your audio interface device is listed. Click the name of the audio interface device.

4. Click the “File” menu and select the “New Audio” option, which will open a separate window. Click the drop-down menu on the dialogue window and select the “2” option. Click the “OK” button, which will launch another window. Click the menu and select the “Mono” option. Click the “OK” button. Soundbooth is now set up to utilize the two microphones for recording.
