Last night during a stealth recording, the left channel kept dropping out (still not sure why) and I'm trying to rectify the problem in Wavelab by patching in the right channel in the few spots where the left channel went dead.
The way I'm doing this is:
1) Select the part on both channels that needs to be fixed.
2) Change the selection to JUST the right channel.
3) Copy selection.
4) Change the selection to JUST the left channel.
5) Paste selection.
For the life of me I can't figure out why this works sometimes, and other times it does not. Sometimes it works great and the new audio takes over where the old dead space was. But, other times, it pastes my selection followed by a bunch of silence which offsets the channels from each other.
I have no fucking clue why it does this. Someone throw me a bone.
