splitting Audio? Vegas Pro 11

Is there a way of splitting and then deleting the unwanted channel of audio in Vegas without taking that audio into Sound Forge or something? Can it be done inside Vegas? Like the way you split the video from the audio or unlink it, can that be done with the 2 audio channels? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, I am new at Vegas.

Also when if pan over and use only one channel of audio I do not know how to make it stereo, when I look at the master mixer I see that I only have one tract on one side of audio and not stereo. How do I get that same one channel on the other side as well?

If you right click on an audio event and select Channels you can select Right only, Left only, Both etc.

There should also be script under "Extensions" called "Stereo to Mono".

I dunno. I kinda disagree with that. It would take as many or more steps to invoke the script than it does to click the 'channels' control. You also end up with a situation requiring a 3rd party install that may or may not exist on any particular system you use. This makes it seem rather pointless to me.

Scripts should be a way to automate or ease tasks. I don't see them being useful when they simply provide another just-as-many-steps way to do something less reliably than the built-in method.

@Chienworks

Sorry, but I TOTALLY disagree with your assessment. The "Stereo to Mono" script I believe is even a SCS standard script that comes with VP since VP10 I think; in case I am wrong here it is for download http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39278380/Stereo%20to%20Mono.cs. Once you have it in your toolbar, it is as simple as selecting the stereo audio clip you want to split and click the icon and it will split the stereo track into two mono tracks, one for the left and one for the right channel. There is no other faster way then that.

Vegasaur has the same function and I use it on many occasions where I have one channel connected to the sound system and the other is my on camera mic or something else.

+1 for the script - I use it a lot too.
