Hey All!
I was wondering if there is a way while using the "Drag and Drop" function in BIAB 2011.5, to have each track rendered as a "mono" file as opposed to a "stereo" file.
Is this possible?
If so, how can I accomplish this?
Thanks,
Harpo

I've only converted stereo tracks to mono after they were dropped into the target multitrack software. And that is not something I do very often, for the Stereo files work just fine IMO.

Hi Mac!
Yes, I have been doing that as well, but I'm always looking for new ways that might improve work flow.
The stereo files do work well in most cases, however I have found that when panning certain instruments I can get a much better balance in my mix if I render those particular instruments to "mono" tracks.
This might be that in Sonar X1 Expanded you sometimes have to configure more than just the "main track" panning knob to get a certain desired effect.Which to me is more work than necessary sometimes!
Anyway just thought I'd ask!
Thanks
Harpo

Yes, I've found the same. Fortunately, Reaper allow "on the fly" stereo to mono conversion.
Btw, I love your signature!

Ha, ha. Thanks Cerio. (a little mantra of mine to help keep me humble)
Sonar X1 also has that Reaper feature, as most DAWs do nowadays.
Mac's insight is right on the beam.

If SONAR is still doing what they did when it was Cakewalk Pro, which I am familiar with, you have to set the program to do "Equal Energy Panning" for Stereo Tracks and then it is not a problem.
RealBand and Powertracks do that automatically.
Once you find the right setting for the Panning, I think you will find that the Stereo tracks, when panned using Equal Energy Panning, will actually sound much BETTER in your mixes.
