just used the line in and line out.  when its played from cakewalk its now 
mono.. how do I get it to be in stereo? thanks

You probably had either A) the audio track in cakewalk set to mono, or B) a
bad cord?
Some multitrackers require to seperate audio tracks to record in stereo, set
one to left and one to right.

The way Im recording it is the complete preset all onto one track.. Im not 
putting each track from the xl7 into a separate track on cakewalk. its all 
recorded onto one track.

Soudns more like an issue with your software sequencer than with your XL-7 
(which was what Byron was trying to say).  Also, as Byron again mentioned, 
be sure that both of you audio cables are working properly.  If one of 
them is bad, many mixers and sequencer will take the remaining one and 
treat it as two mono sources, or vice versa.

Exactly, to be more specific, what I was trying to say was this....
In the track properties that you are about to record on, there should be
some sort of button or something to press that will bring up the possible
manipulations of your sound card while recording....it my say something
like this

SB GOLD! Mono L
SB GOLD! Mono R
SB GOLD! Stereo (l,r)

and you select one, being sure to select stereo...make sense? If this is
NOT the case, make sure that your you are using a stereo 8th inch adapter
to go into your soundcard (assuming that it dosn't take duo quarter inch,
which some do...mine actually takes a stereo quarter inch, plus four more
in the addon card).

Another oddity is that I actually HAVE seen some multitrackers that present
the stereo file in such a way that it looks mono, even when it's
not...although rarely.

Cheap adapters can be futzy too, not always making a true stereo connection
because it wasn't casted to the perfect size....
