I connect Zoom h4n Pro to my Mac via USB as audio interface. I then record audios with QuickTime.
The input of h4n is stereo; the right & left inputs are not exactly the same. But it seems that QuickTime automatically mixes the left & right channels; as a result, the generated audio file has same volumes from left and right.
Could anyone confirm me that it is true?

I'm having the same issue (Scarlett i2i USB hardware):
Can't get QuickTime to record in stereo
I confirmed that Audacity records in stereo - even at the same time as QuickTime records in mono.
I called Apple and they were pretty clueless. It's possible (and painful) to detach the audio track from the QuickTime movie and attach the Audacity track instead - iMovie can be cajoled to do it reluctantly. I haven't found a better solution yet.
