Splitting Stereo Tracks to Mono Tracks

You can split a stereo audio track in the Timeline into separate mono tracks if you want to edit

separate audio channels or if you need to export a sequence either to an older version of the Avid

editing application. You can also split a clip or sequence with stereo tracks to mono from a bin.

You can split individual stereo tracks to mono, or you can split all stereo tracks in your sequence.

When you split a stereo track, the original stereo track becomes a mono track and a new mono

track is added below the original track. For example, if you split a stereo track on A1 in the

Timeline, the application makes A1 a mono track holding one stereo channel and adds a second

mono track on A2 for the other stereo channel. If A2 already exists in the Timeline, the

application renumbers tracks to allow for the split mono tracks. Also, the application renumbers

tracks to preserve the odd and even track numbers for left and right mono channels. Renumbered

tracks start at the highest track available.

If you duplicate a clip in a bin and split the copy to mono, or if you edit a stereo clip into a

sequence on multiple tracks and split one track to mono, your sequence can contain both a stereo

and a mono instance of the same master clip. This does not cause a problem with editing,

playback, or any other operation.

If splitting stereo tracks to mono tracks causes your sequence to exceed 24 audio tracks, or if

splitting to mono cannot maintain the relative order of tracks or the left/right channel alignment,

the Avid editing application cannot complete the operation and an error message displays. You

can reduce the number of audio tracks in your sequence and retry the operation.
