Anyone know of a vst plug that flips a stereo track from L-R?

I.e., what's on the right becomes left, and what's on the left becomes the right.

Reason I need it:
I have some drum loops with the high hat on the left, and I'd like to mix 'em in with some sampled drums which have the high hat on the right... sounds really weird to hear the drum kit image swap around every few measures.

Edit: found something great... see below...

turn your pc upside down

Tried that, Hink... doesn't work.. strangely stuff still doesn't match up.

Maybe if I turn the monitor on its side all the high hat stuff (which is lighter than air I think) will rise to the top, which will be the right side once I freeze the track.

Ugh, really am I missing something? This should exist... there are polarity flippers all over the place.. my host has that. But a simple L-R swap, no one's needed this, ever?

Maybe I'm finally going to have to learn synthedit.

how about just split it into two mono tracks

get audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ , load up the loop and swap the channels....simple as that.

Yah, I could edit the groove clip source file to swap the stereo image. Either by splitting and re-stitching it in Sonar, or by finding the original again from the cd, swapping it externally in a wav editor, and recreating all the loop instances...

But I already have the arrangement and mix done, and I just now noticed that the drum kit switches around, and I was hoping there'd be a way to fix it without having to undo all the editing work I've done on the loops...

Thanks guys, for humoring me.

You rock... I don't know why I didn't find that. I'm usually a talented googler.

I've got a freebie called Steroid Bouncer at www.cloneensemble.com. Does precisely what you're talking about... and more.

Moneo can do it, too. Tracktion has the function built-in.

stereo swapper: incredibly simple plugin, can't find it
