Converting a Selection From Stereo to Mono

Procedure

  1. Make a stereo selection in the wave window.
  2. Select File > New.
  3. Select Audio File > From Current File.
  4. Select one of the following options:

    • To mix the left and right stereo channels when converting to mono, click Mono Mixdown.

    • To mix the left channel with the inverse of the right channel when converting to mono, click Mono Mixdown (Subtract Right Channel from Left Channel).

      The resulting mono wave contains the difference between the channels. For example, this allows you to verify that a wave file really is a true stereo file rather than a mono file converted to stereo format.

Result

The selection opens in a new mono window.
