Recording figure 8 on 2 channels

[andersmv]

Are you sure it was not a stereo mic?

It very well could be. I'm visually impaired so I could've missed something but I think we did something through the patch bay to split it. I could be completely wrong though.

you may have sent it to a "mult" which basically takes a single input and assigns it to multiple spots on the bay.

That's it! How would I do that now? What do I need? What would that cost roughly?

If it's a fig 8 there would be no point. Both tracks will be identical.

it would be free.. just create a mult in your patchbay...then you get one in and two outs thumbsup

Do you already have a patchbay? If not I would suggest buying a Mic splitter and split the signal to 2 pre-amps.

Unless you are doing mid/side without a matrix, then you would split the figure-8 onto two tracks, invert the polarity of one of them, and mix it with the mid mic. In a DAW, you can just copy and paste the track to a second track. Otherwise, just use a y-cable between the mic pre and tape machine if you don't have mults on the patchbay. Or assign it to two buses on a console.
