Stereo/Mono Handling

When you drag or copy stereo or mono files to other locations, the target location determines how the files are inserted.

Stereo/Mono is handled as follows when you drag between files:


Dragged section	Drop wave	Action
Stereo	Stereo	The dragged audio is always inserted into both channels.
Stereo	Mono	Only the left channel is inserted.
Mono	Stereo	What happens depends on the vertical drop position. This is indicated by the cursor shape. The selection can be inserted into only one of the channels, or the same material can be inserted into both channels.

Stereo/Mono is handled as follows when you copy and paste files:


Copied section	Paste wave	Action
Stereo	Stereo	If the wave cursor extends across both channels of the destination file, the material is inserted into both channels.
Mono	Mono	If the wave cursor is only in one channel, the audio is only pasted in that channel. Material from the left channel is pasted in the left channel and material from the right channel is pasted in the right channel.
Stereo	Mono	Only the left channel is pasted.
Mono	Stereo	What happens depends on whether the wave cursor is in one channel or both. The audio is either pasted in one of the channels, or the same material is inserted into both channels.
