Single-channel editing
Stereo files are held together by the nature of their stereo format. Because of this, you cannot perform certain
editing operations (such as cut or paste) on a single channel of a stereo file.
Channel lengths must remain equal in stereo files. Frequently, this issue can be side-stepped by copying a
single channel of a stereo file to the clipboard. Once this mono selection is located on the clipboard, you can
do any of the following:
• Paste it into a mono file.
• Paste it into both channels of a stereo file.
• Mix it into a single channel of a stereo file.
• Mix it into both channels of a stereo file.
Note:
When mixing mono clipboard data to a stereo file, the
Mono to Stereo dialog prompts you to mix it to the right, left,
or both channels.
