Hi, I just received a bunch of stereo tracks which are actually mono (left and right audio data is the same). In Pro-Tools I used to put a stereo file on two mono tracks and I could easily convert a stereo file to a mono file. Is there an easy way to do this inside Logic ? I poked around the Audio Windows and Sample Editor but found nothing really helpful. Cheers, Camille

A quick trick is to make a tiny mono file of silence and put it on an adjacent track. Use the glue tool to combine with the stereo file, and you get a dialog asking if you want to mix down stereo or mono. Select mono and a new mono file is created in place. I keep a little snippet of silence for this purpose. Sonny Keyes SKa Music Toronto www.skamusic.ca

Is there a way to convert two mono audio files (sat a stereo guitar track that imports as 2 mono files) to a stereo track in Logic 7. Thanks, JP

I think this is in the FAQs, if not has been answered recently. However, Logic only converts to split files if you have "force convert interleaved to split stereo" ticked in the audio general prefernces. Pete Thomas www.petethomas.co.uk

Thanks for the preferences tip. However, I did originally look in the FAQs and could find nothing relevant. Do you know under what heading it might be? Or if not could someone tell me how this can be done? Thanks, JP

If you have loads I would just reimport them with prefs reset. Pete Thomas www.petethomas.co.uk

If it's on a mono track it'll end up twice as loud. Pete Thomas www.petethomas.co.uk
