Is this a mono recording?
The album is in stereo. But you're right. Actually left and right tracks look exactly the same on my rip.
I checked the Audacity settings, everything looks correct. Then I checked my computer audio settings and I found the problem.
Unfortunately the USB input was set to 1 channel. As Audacity was set to 2 channels, left and right tracks were identical.
I can remember I selected the correct settings when I first started ripping albums, but something happened at some point and I didn't see it.
It says "stereo" on Audacity. In addition I usually play music files through my old CRT television, which isn't the best way to appreciate a stereo recording.
Or through my old computer speakers with fluctuating volume levels. I absolutely must replace them. My turntable, preamplifier and computer work fine, though.
Anyway I should have seen it sooner, just looking at the waveforms or sound levels.
I'm afraid my rips have been in mono for months. Sorry, everyone.
Better late than never, however. Slowly, I will rip again the records I shared, so that you can replace the files you are interested in.
I'll be back next weekend with a new album in glorious stereo sound
Thank you very much for your helpful note, Greta.
