Title: Wavelab 4.0 help
Post by: stirinthesauce on October 05, 2005, 08:54:16 PM
Any way to change the wave file from stereo to mono after the recording using wavelab?  Also have soundforge.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, Bean!  Try when I get home.  Go ahead and tell what I need it for, fairly interesting taping experience tonight.  So, I'm at work (I'm a chef at a B&B) and I have a private dinner party of little old ladies come in.  The host of the party comes up to me and says, "I hope this works.  I have my husband's, whose been dead for 20 years, relatives with me tonight and I want to make a tape recording of our conversations."  So as she starts going through her bag of odds and ends, visions of radioshack hand help mic and walmart $12.95 tape recorder circa 1983 are going through my head.  So I tell her I have some equipment that might be better suited for her needs since my hobby is live recordings and archiving.  So she says, "oh, that would be wonderful."  So I walk home (live 3 houses away) and quickly grab, laptop, mics, batteries, cables, ad20, stand and head out.  Set up and tell ladies to come take a seat.  So I dinner starts, notice only getting signal from one mic, in my haste, I grabbed the wrong (dead) battery for one of my naks.  So anyways, since I only got one channel, need to have the output in mono.  Once again, thanks for the help.

She wanted to openly tape.  She stated after her dinner that she had more family members coming in and she was going to try the same thing at another party this weekend.  Told her if she needed my services, to contact me.  Didn't ask the reason, but figured since they were her dead husbands relatives that maybe she wanted to play their conversations at his gravesite.  Probably wrong on this but couldn't come up with another plausible reason other than to just archive it since the relatives were all 70+ in age.  Interesting experience.
