Bounce stereo/multiple tracks to mono

[Patlamm]

Is there a way to take a stereo track, or two mono tracks, and bounce or merge them together without having to bounce in real time? Is there an AudioSuite plugin or command? Thanks.

Well you could bus your tacks to a New stereo track and record them to one track, but that not what you are looking for. There is no offline bounce in PT.

Sometimes a stereo track is really identical signals on both sides. If this is the case, you can split it to 2 mono tracks and delete one(that can be done in a few seconds).

Sure there is a solution for this. You have to use a plugin that allows for left and right panning such as the Flux Stereo Tool in AudioSuite mode.
Simply pan left and right together and adjust master volume in the plug accordingly so as not to clip. Then process and off you go...

Or you could use peak or wavelab or some other app that's more suited for batch conversions.

Thanks! That did the trick!

(and the plugin is free..)
