OK, thanks. I'll try to be clearer and render is probably the wrong term.

I record a vocal track in mono as a wav file. I import it to my DAW and punch-in, let's say there are 6 punches (or whatever you would call them). Then I want export the track, which is still in mono, as a wav file, which would combine all the punches and the unedited remainder of the track into one solid track. Then I might work on the track more, add effects, etc.

When exporting the track, I have options for mp3, or wav, or others, and to format the track/file at 41000 Hz (or others), 16 (or others) bits, and either mono or stereo. I usually use wav/44100/16.

Is there any benefit or degradation to the track were I to export the track as a stereo track?

I hope that is more precise, but who knows. It's the peak of my skills!

Thanks.
