L/R Balance

Whattap,

I was wondering if anybody could help me out with this problem I'm having.

So I run my mpc through a tascam us-122 interface to garageband on my computer to record my beats.

Now i've noticed the audio isnt 100% balanced. I mean, when looking at the audio meter, the L/R arent 100% hitting the same level. There's a slight variance.

Now I'm assuming now thats normal, but it's really bugging me. To the point of buying a new mixer for my turntable and the new mixer helped a bit but theres still variance.

Nothing noticed by ear or by looking unless looking very closely.

Normal or is my interface screwed?

also,

Ive read that with 16mb of ram I should get 136 seconds of sample recording in mono?

How comw I only have just over a minute of sampling time with 16 mb?

Do I have to set the mpc to mono or something?

if you pan sounds or sample something that is in stereo and has some sounds more to the left/right then others, then then the channels wont always be balanced. its normal. now if your beats are coming out HARD panned left/right, then maybe you should worry

you're aight. also about your sampling time...im sure you have to sample things in MONO to utilize the full amount of memory (im not totally sure bout this).
