Edit of audio file
Using Soundforge Audio Studio 10
Track is opened for edit using “Open Copy in Editor” from within SMS 12I frequently come across a stereo track attached to a video file .. and in parts the track has zero audio on one channel (by accident) .. often commentary .. user has recorded on one channel only …
Is there an easy way to copy what is on for example L ch to R Ch without affecting sync of channels.When I try just pasting it in .. the sync gets screwed, as it ads the length of pasted section to track I pasted it on …
The only way I have found to do it is to insert markers on ‘good track’, copy the audio, and then paste this on 2nd track, easy to mess up insert point though …. is there a better way to do this?
i.e. in sample below, no speech on Ch 2 … so want to copy Ch 1 speech to Ch 2

Why bother? If the same thing is on both tracks it’s not Stereo anyway. Just right-click on the audio event in Movie Studio and select Channels | Left Only before you open a copy in Sound Forge Studio. This will make the event audio mono. When you render to stereo, Movie Studio will render the same audio to both channels just like you want.

Maybe I’m missing something here … if the audio has a portion where speech is only of Left Ch ….
Unless ‘I’ do something the render will simply render as is … i.e. nothing on that Ch.What I am doing (albeit manually)is copying the Left Ch and pouting it on Right …. I know that makes it mono …. but at least vocal is coming out of both speakers and not just the Left.

Is this a stereo recording taken with two microphones using two separate sources? If you are trying to preserve the individual left and right channels because they have different content, I can tell you how to do that too but it seemed like both channels contained the same content except for some drop-outs in which case using only the left channel as mono will fix your problem.

There is no microphone … this is taking an existing recording made by a.n.other.
In parts the audio reduces to commentary only, and in some it is fine comes out over both L&R Channels, usually in Mono sometimes stereo.
However in others it has been recorded on Left Channel only so when you play it back commentary comes form Left speaker only – not desirable.
If I don’t copy ‘something’ onto the Right Channel, when I render it ( 224 Kbps, 48,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo) it will have audio on Left Ch only.
I know copying across is creating a mono track .. but having mono out of both speakers is better than mono out of Left only

That’s where you are wrong. If you set the track Channel to Left Only as I suggested it will come out of both speakers. Try it and see.
