If you owned sound forge this would be easy to do a open in Sound Forge and covert it to stereo. Or you could do a duplicate Track and then pan one track hard left and the duplicated Track hard right. Or a simple copy and paste to a new track would do the same thing.

that wouldn't work because it is already a stereo track with audio on the left channel ONLY...so if you copied and pasted the stereo audio to a new track and panned one hard left and the other hard right you still would only hear audio coming out of the left speaker...it's definitely a job for Sound Forge...copy the left channel and paste it into the right...that's how I do it

Thanks for the suggestions. Will check out Sound Forge.

My snowboard video project is mixing 3 DV camcorder files (20GB all L only audio), adding background music and rendering out as MPEG2/DivX. I was hoping to use track fx to center the audio as part of the NLE and avoid resampling the DV files.

(Next time I'll clamp the audio inputs to mono before using my DVMC-DA2...)

Thanks again,
:O)

I didn't see the comment where he said it was a stereo track with left channel ONLY? I could have swore he said it was a "mono" track with audio from the Left channel? Mono still means One doesn't it? If that's the case then just render the Track as a new mono file and then do my previous suggestions.

Not exactly...When I import audio+video from my camera it comes in as stereo audio with one side with none. I have a mic going to a ART preamp and then to channel 1 on the inputs of the camera. You definately need to pickup Sounforge 5 for this job. One day I'll afford a full-on audio system for site recording[ie...dat...power supply...mic...etc] Does anybody know of a good combination/components. Later.

When doing your original recording, why don't you feed your mono amp signal to BOTH channels of the camcorder? Then you wouldn't have this post-production problem.

The preamp is mono in-to out...either xlr OR quarter inch. Thought about using a splitter of some sorts...maybe. Later.

You can't solo your import audio from your camera and select save as Mono and re-open the file? This is not the ideal way to do this, but it will do what you have to without having to own Sound Forge. There's always more than one way to skin a cat as they say.

DV doesn't record in the traditional sense. DV comes right down the 1394 cable and there's no way to mute out one audio track when capturing. For now, Forge is your best bet. You can open a Vegas timeline event directly in Forge and do the conversion, and save back right into the event. I think even Forge XP (the cheap version) does this.
