Topic: Wave Lab 5.0 Help

[tractor]

I have recorded a show using a 744 a few weeks ago using two sources.  It recorded a large 4 channel wav which I have pulled a part using Adobe Audition.  I now have 4 mono tracks that I would like to then make 2 stereo tracks out of the 2 sources.  Can I do that in Wave Lab 5?  I would like to just insert the two channels and then save that as a stereo wav file.  Does that make sense?  Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks,
Dave

yes you sure can bud.

Go to NEW>Audio Montage

go down to the grey area of the screen and right click. you will see the option to ADD FILE. add the first track.

then click on the dropdown bar with the 1 on it. click ADD MONO TRACK

you now have the two mono tracks there. on the mastering tool on the right side..click RENDER.
itll render the file to a stereo track (or whatever you want it to be..youll see different options)save the file.
after that one is done , open up the next 2 the same way .after the file is rendered you will be in the regular Wavelab screen so you can normalize, compress, whatever.. save em.

Ray,

I did that but when it created the wav file it seems both tracks are the same in the new wav file.  But when I add the two different tracks in montage before you render it you can clearly see that they are left/right (different).  Does that make sense?

what do you mean, it seems they are the same??when you render, it combines the two as a stereo track.
maybe i dont understand what you are asking...

there is also an option  render to multi stereo.

I figured it out.  Thanks for your help Ray.

no problem. Helps me learn too.

below the 1 dropdown button..there is a RF:LF indicator..
'
click on that..you can assign channels that way.

You can also do it without using the montage feature.

Hit "ctrl + n" to open new file.  Select stereo wav at your sample rate.

Now open your mono wav files.  Pick the one you want for L channel, "select all" and then go the new file.  Paste into the L channel (make sure your cursor is in L channel only).  Then repeat for the R channel.
