Focusrite/Audacity/3rd Mic

[duskvstweak]

Hey everyone, quick question.

Trying to record a podcast. We have three microphones. We have them hooked into a Focusrite 18i8, which is a usb to my laptop. We record with audacity. I can not get the 3rd mic to get through, even though it shows up as working on the headphones and focusrite control. Audacity will not pick it up. What do I not understand, is this fixable?

are you sure you've set audacity to have the right number of channels? i'm assuming you'd have either 3 in mono or 6 in stereo. it's in the first or second settings tab, i forget which.
