Mono to Stereo?

[Bret Williams]

Well it wouldn’t be stereo, but just pan the track to center. “Ctrl+.” (control period)

Stereo is defined more as a separation of sound from different channels. I think what you’re talking about would still be mono. Just coming coming out of multiple speakers. Dual-mono or something.

And to do that (make 2 mono tracks a stereo pair) you could copy the track and paste in the track below and then select them both and choose Modify>stereo pair

Well you can’t make a mono sound source stereo but you can emulate stereo. During the initial days of television when stereo was a new idea they used to experiment with delaying the mono sound source and putting it on the right channel- sometimes adding a bit of reverb to “wet” the sound a bit on the delayed source. They did that same thing to the old sound recordings that were originally in MONO.

Another thing that we regularly do is to take a mono sound source and embellish it with stereo natural sound sources.

What is the nature of the sound source you are seeking to make stereo?

It’s a video recording we taped last week of one of our colleagues here at work. We had a wireless lav on her lapel, and the audio just consisted of this person giving her presentation. It appears that the pan to center solution provided earlier should be sufficient for this project.
