I once received a stereo track of a vocal part I had to learn and I set about mono'ing it to one side so I could hear myself in the other side of my headphones. With both sides of the stereo track combined, it just about disappeared. Looking at the waveforms, both sides were mirror image. I contacted the authour thinking that he had a mic cable with wires crossed or something similar. It turned out he'd used a widening function/plugin to make the original sound 'better'. I know this can be acheived by playing with phase and here was an example.
I mention this just in case you have wires crossed somewhere (did you use some other cable for the problem bit ? maybe that 'connector' you mention ?) or used some plugin on it to widen or otherwise modifiy the clip.
No widening on it.
Cable wise a Shure SM 7B is going into channel A of my DMP3 preamp. There's a balanced jack connector out for channel A which I'm converting into 2 RCAs using a stereo large jack MALE --> small jack FEMALE converter. Into that is going a stereo small jack FEMALE and is giving me two RCAs for left and right. Each of those RCAs is going into one of the analogue unbalanced inputs in the RME soundcard (one is a red RCA the other is a white)
Totalmix on the RME is picking this up as audio and is recording the left and right as opposite phases. No matter how I set the "width" of the left and right channels into the totalmix software. Whether it's -1, 0 or 1 I still have this problem.
I don't see how it could be a connector problem as surely that should give the same thing. I don' tknow.
