Anyway separately processing the sides of a stereo file is something I am wanting to do *all* the time so it does not look too esoteric to me. An example of when I want to do it: A guy I record *all* the time likes to record both the internal pickups of his acoustic guitar and a live mic. We use totally different processing on either side of the guitar some times we even go for a full on distorted electric sound on line side and an nice sweet acoustic sound on the mic side. I accomplish this now by keeping them in mono files on separate tracks but it would be really nice if they could be together as a stereo file so that when I am doing a lot of editing of the guitar track the two sides stay locked together without me having to consciously attend to keeping them together all the time. > Ah, but anyone afflicted (like myself) with the habit of recording > a vocal and guitar track together as the song bed track (in an > attempt to find emotional and timing authenticity sometimes lacking > in dubbed projects), and wishing to process the vocal mike side > separately from the guitar mike side, will want this.
