mono -> stereo. How to do it in PT?
Hi!
I want to make a mono track to a stereo track. I know it is possible in PT, but I don't know how to make it! Thanks for your replies!

Re: mono -> stereo. How to do it in PT?
You can't actually change an existing track from mono to stereo unless you put a mono->stereo plugin on it. But then only the output is stereo, not the input/source. What exactly is it that you're trying to do?

Copy the mono track, name one .L and the other one .R and drop it on a stereo track.

Re: mono -> stereo. How to do it in PT?
Duplicating a mono track does not make it stereo. It makes dual mono and will not sound any different than a single mono track(except louder when the 2 identical signals combine). Its still down to the question about what the goal is? Some general stuff to consider"
1-a mono SOURCE(like a bass guitar, snare drum or a vocal) is a mono signal, and belongs on a mono track. 2-there are a few ways to create a stereo-sound(not real stereo, but an effect) from a mono track, such as using a mono/stereo reverb/delay/chorus plugin(whether this is good or bad is totally up to the listener) 3-down to the most basic( I have no idea of your skill/knowledge level and no offense is ever intended); its perfectly normal to use many(or even all) mono audio tracks in a recording, and use pan controls to spread things across the stereo sound field. Once again, the source dictates whether the recording should be mono or stereo 4-another way to give "space" or "spread" to a mono track is to pan it to one side and send(using a send) to a mono AUX track with a mono reverb, panning the reverb to the opposite side. If you describe the desired result, I'm sure you'll get multiple ideas on how to get there

The challenge is not to make a mono file stereo but to place a mono file onto a stereo track.

This was a great idea, but I can't make it work!

Re: mono -> stereo. How to do it in PT?
You need to consolidate the mono track, duplicate it, consolidate the duplicate, then rename the original with .L and the duplicate with .R Now you should have ‘name of vocal track’ appear as a *stereo file consisting of the left and right sides. Create a stereo track and drag that to the timeline. Alternatively, you should be able to select the L + R tracks and drag it to the newly created stereo track. Once selected, it should highlight the *stereo track in the clip list. *stereo - as pointed out above, it’s actually dual mono. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
