How to split stereo into two mono tracks?

[jrb110]

I am looking for a simple way to save each channel of a stereo pair to a separate mono file. This is not a mix but two discreet single-track mono files.

 

This should be a common standard operation, but I can’t seem to see how within WavePad or MixPad…

 

The two tracks of the stereo pair were recorded at the same time for timing issues (track 1 dialog, track 2 background) and now they need to be remixed. But first I need to split them into two separate tracks.

 

I hope that makes things clear.

 

Thanks

i am using wavepad v3.05.

i cannot see a way to seperate the left and right channels so that you have 2 separate audio tracks.

Hi, Wave pad can do it but it is a little clunky.

turn the volume on right to zero, save as mono then set volume on left to zero, save as mono.

it must be a clunky way to do it.

although i dont use this program for what this topic is about,i'm just trying to do what nchdc has suggested.

i cant even see how to turn the volume for left or right channel to zero.

I know this is an old thread, but I was having a similar problem and was able to separate the left and right

edit -> split file ->split file into its component channels
