Splitting Stereo Tracks into Mono Tracks

You can split stereo tracks into left/right or mid/side mono tracks. This is a virtual split which does not affect or create audio files.

Procedure

  1. In the Audio Montage window, click the number button of the track that you want to split.
  2. Do one of the following:

    • To split the stereo track into two left/right mono tracks, select Split into Left/Right Mono Tracks.

    • To split the stereo track into two mid/side mono tracks, select Split into Mid/Side Mono Tracks.

Result

The track is split. If there are clips on the track, the two stereo sides are now separate clips, allowing you to move, edit, or process them independently. If the track has no clips, this is the same as deleting the track and inserting two new mono tracks.

The mono tracks are automatically grouped and can only be moved and resized together.

When you drag a stereo clip onto a mid/side mono track, the stereo clip is automatically split into mid and side signals. During playback and rendering, the mid/side channels are automatically combined to left/right channels at the montage output.
