Stereo to Mono, Mono to Stereo

Separating & Combining Tracks

There comes a point in every mixer/producers life when a track, or one provided as a stem, requires separating stereo to two mono or combining two mono tracks to stereo. Now other DAW's have their own weird and wonderful way of doing this and Studio One 3 is no exception.

Looking through menus will yield no result, as once was the case (Studio One v2), but for now, the only way to do either of the above actions can only be accessed under the browser/files tab. See Pic.

In the example shown in the below video, we have been sent a single stereo track for the Over Heads in the drums stems. Now this may or may not be a problem, depending on what your going to do regarding panning or processing, but on some occasions a separate Left & Right OH track is more preferably. 

Watch as I demonstrate how to separate the stereo OH stem into two, left and right mono tracks and back again. This action can be performed on any tracks that you need separated or combined.
