Hello chin-strokers.
Hmm. .So I want to do something in SX3.... something which should be simple....
I have a wad of recordings on one stereo track.. (congas if you must know) one mic on either drum. quinto left-ch, conga right-ch.
Now.. I don't know what possessed me to record them this way... ease of keeping it all aligned maybe?
Anyway.. my folly aside... I now want them in two mono channels instead.
"Easy!", you say...
I said that too.. until I realised that i didn't really want to dump the tracks as an audio mixdown... That I would really like my recorded segments/slices still as separate chunklets on the new mono-channels.
(edit* Now I have found file-convert functions.. and other goodies.. but they always want to convert the stereo track into a single summed mono channel. So.. no good!)
Hmm.. you'd think it would be a fairly straightforward request.. and I have probably just missed it... so if anyone knows the correct way to take an edited stereo channel and dump it to two mono channels keeping the cut/edit points intact (ie; without having to dump it as stereo split and import and re-mark the whole damn thing)....I would be much indebted.

Re: Cubase Question.
have u tried turning it off and on again??
Re: Cubase Question.
Quickest way is probably to duplicate the track, then select all the stereo clips on one and go process - Stereo Flip - Left to Stereo, then on the other track process - Stereo Flip - Right to Stereo. Then you have 2 independant channels with mono stereo clips, which you could even put on mono audio channels if you want
Re: Cubase Question.
Thanks heaps for your tips everyone. It's much appreciated.
& we have a winner!!
Kudos to livewire for the easiest solution.
*note to self- always remember to check all the options within the functions.

^^^This method preserves your takes and sections perfectly... so no re-editing hassles!^^^...duplicate the track, then select all the stereo clips on one and go process - Stereo Flip - Left to Stereo, then on the other track process - Stereo Flip - Right to Stereo.

Re: Cubase Question. -SOLUTION INSIDE-
If you want to for whatever reason keep it as stereo channel but want to have mono output you can set up a group channel set to mono and output the stereo file...duplicating the track and cutting/muting sections or for another way of making it mono, use a free vst called stereo tools http://www.kellyindustries.com/stereo_tools.html which can toggle stereo/mono, mid/side and swap left/right.

What a hassle, if you had Pro Tools you could just separate the stereo track to individual mono tracks with two clicks of the mouse.
