how do you adjust balance

[Guest NJ]

Is there a way in Wave Pad to adjust the stereo balance? I need to turn down the right channel (or adjust the balance to the left channel only).

 

Alternatively, if I could just delete the right channel and make it mono, that would be ok too.

 

thanks,

NJ

Hi NJ:

 

That's a good question! There's a choice on the EFFECTS menu called STEREO PAN with an adjustment for LEFT-CENTER-RIGHT, but there's no description of its (intended) operation in the HELP file. In playing around with it, I cannot get it to do what you want it to do. But, I'm not saying it doesn't work properly -- I'm just saying I can't figure out what it does.

 

Maybe one of the WAVEPAD grownups can help out with this one.

EDIT (20 minutes later; $20 poorer): If you get impatient waiting, I found one that does exactly what you want -- and I didn't even have to consult the help file to figure out how to do it:

They have a trial version that you can play with, but you can't save any of your changes until you buy it. (It won't work at all on Win95.)

Thanks for the heads up!

I am having a similar problem and would love to know how to delete the left channel and fill it with a copy of the right.

Thanks!

Hi, 

You can Split the audio file into channel components -> copy the waveform from the right channel and paste it on the left channel -> you can then Join the right and left channels.

You may refer to the links below on how to do Split and Join in WavePad.
