Topic: merging two mono sbd tracks from a 744????

[Gordon]

so last month at outformation I ran onstage and patched out of charles 744 (sbd channels).  anyway the vocals on my sbd patch were very fucked up (mini > jb3). 

so he sent me a data disc of the raw mono sbd channels.  2 wave files for the first set and 2 for the second set.

so what is the proper way using wavelab to merge the mono channels/files??  montage??  ok I just tried montage and it won't let me add a mono channel/file to another mono channel.   

edit:  I can do a montage (I hit the add stereo instead of add mono track).  is this right??




so I copied one of the channels and opened a new wave in wavelab.  pasted and it's now 2 channels mono but this can't be the correct way to do it b/c if it was why are there 2 mono files for the set??


edit:  so I found the "convert to stereo" thing but again shouldn't I be creating the "stereo" file from the two mono files??  I know it won't be stereo but simply both mono channels.

think I got it.  thanks charles!

I usually just do the "mono to stereo" on the left channel to create a "stereo" file.   I think copy the right channel (the real right channel, not the mono one created in that process) and paste it into the stereo file.

That should give you the full stereo file ready to manipulate to your turkish delight

so you actually work on the files you record   still haven't heard the yonder matirx or the dbt mid side   


I ended up doing the montage.  open left channel as a mono montage.  add right channel then render together.
