Max,

Speaking from the PT side of things, as a quick hack to resolve the issue, you can:

1) Import the OMF
2) create the amount of stereo audio tracks in Pro Tools that you want to have
3) Make sure the mono audio tracks are in the right order, so that they’ll automatically “pair” to the stereo tracks with each other
4) Select all of the mono audio track regions
5) Drag them, en masse, over the empty stereo tracks
6) Delete, en masse, the now-empty mono tracks

I’ve used this solution more times than I can count…

Mike,

In the right context, this definitely works in music. If the audio track is truly a stereo track, then panning and/or splitting can be quite effective. If you’re dealing with a stereo track that’s just two identical mono tracks, panning would only alter the perceived volume of the track.
