Channel Converter |
|
From the Process menu, choose Channel Converter to change the number of channels in an audio file. The Channel Converter dialog can also be used to reverse the channels of a stereo file or intermix the channels of a multichannel file to create interesting panning effects.
To perform quick channel conversion without specifying the mix, use the Audio channels box on the File Properties window or right-click the Channels box in the status bar and choose a setting from the shortcut menu.
Notes:
-
If you want to apply a panning envelope to a mono file, use the Channel Converter to convert the file to stereo first.
-
You can use mono files in the Pan/Expand dialog if you choose Pan (preserve stereo separation) or Pan (mix channels before panning) from the Process mode drop-down list. When you click OK to apply your changes, the file will be converted to stereo and your panning settings will be applied.
