I am increasingly plagued by this very annoying problem :
When I import wav files exported from some other daw, Pro Tools often creates two mono tracks instead of a stereo one, anybody knows why ?
Thanks
Mark

your session has to be "interleaved" when you create it

Now, at any time, you can go into session setup & select interleaved .

Well this is the first thing I did and it didn't do any good. 5' later, importing from logic worked perfectly. Maybe the way the other Daw (Cubase) formatted the Interleaved files

So am I understanding this;
Stereo interleaved file from Logic comes in as interleaved .
Stereo interleaved file from Cubase comes in as dual mono ?

Strange . .

if you created an interleaved session and the other person exported them as 2x mono they will also be mono in your session. So it's not your fault.

True. . .
So make a stereo track & pop the dual mono's onto it . .

No they are legit interleaved files but ProTools wants to split them on two mono tracks for some unknown reason...

How are you importing ?
Drag n drop, or shift command I ?
