Is there any way to copy the left stereo track to a l/r mono track? I tried setting the next track to mono, then copying and pasting the stereo track but it gave me a duplicate of the stereo track.

In Studio One you can change a stereo channel's mode to mono and then bounce, which converts it to mono. I'm guessing there are similar function in most DAW's.

I've already tried copy stereo to a different mono track with no results. Music is what feelings sound like. Windows 11, Behringer UMC204HD Audio Interface, BIAB/RB 2022 Ultra Pak Plus

I've already tried copy stereo to a different mono track with no results. Since you are using RealBand: From the top menu - Select Edit Try Edit\Track\Split a stereo track into two mono tracks and erase the empty mono track leaving the single mono track with content.

This creates a new file and not a virtual track as in track doubling/copying. In your case, rendering your stereo guitar to a mono file. Good for many things and is a carry-over from analog days when track numbers were limited. Last edited by Tangmo; 08/09/20 07:11 AM. BIAB 2021 Audiophile. Windows 10 64bit.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
