I have Magix 14 and M-AUDIO mic/guitar interface and when trying to record live the mic comes through the left side only and when trying to record a guitar track at the same time or individually it only comes through the right side. Please help, its been days now..

Hello,

To get a real stereo recording of a voice you need 2 micros (right and left). When you record your voice with one micro, you record in mono mode. In professionnal recording, look at the picture, the singer sings in one micro only.
But depending of your soundcard you can get a mono or a stereo recording, with exactly the same signal on the both tracks (R, L).

In MMM you can pan the (mono) voice Right or left. No problem to use a mono recording.

Your problem is perhaps to get 2 separate tracks, guitar and voice if the both records are respectively on L & R . With MMM you can record only one track at a time. But if your Wav record is stereo (depending on your sound card) you can split the right and left tracks with a software like Magix Music Editor or AUDACITY (freeware) getting one track with the voice, an other one with the guitar and use them in MMM.
