importing stereo wave files

[elGringo]

OK, a real Tracktion newb here. Here is a simple question to get me started:

I have CDs of stereo drum clips, which I want to import into my Tracktion project. When I import them, I see they go into a single track--are they being converted to mono? If so, how can I import the left/right channels into their own tracks, so I can pan them left and right?

When I was using Deck it split them automatically.

(d'oh, sorry, I meant to put this in the newbie forum)

copy the track so u have two of them lined up then click on each, as u click on one in the propertis pannal at the botom u will see a option "active channels", turn off left on one & right in the other




EDIT: this may be rong read the post below

If they are stereo .wavs to begin with, they should import properly as stereo .wavs.

BetabugsAudio has a new plug coming out that will make treating a stereo .wav as 2 mono wavs a snap.

Another way is to do what djsubject says (copy them to 2 separate tracks) but then use the patch-bay filter so that in one, the left channel is sent to both L/R (and the right is sent nowhere) and in the other, use the patch-bay to do the opposite.

I see they go into a single track--are they being converted to mono?

I think ther's a basic misunderstanding here: if they are stereo files to start with tracktion won't convert them to mono.. tracks are happy to have stereo or mono clips on them, or both: If you just want them to stay stereo, there is no need to do anything.

I'm sure glad Tracktion DOESNT automatically split stereo files. Thats silly nowadays. Tracktion treats waves the same stereo or mono.
