Anyway to make Mono Audio to Stereo in FCE?

[jayeskreezy]

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make mono audio on an interview in FCE into stereo? I also have Logic Pro-is there a way to do it in Logic?

Well, you could copy the audio track and paste it right below in the other channel. That won't make it like it was recorded in stereo, but you will get both channels producing sound.

ok now in FCE they are on two different tracks and still sound like mono...is that different from copying it and putting it in the other channel?

Stereo is made up of two different signals. Mono is just one signal. Dual mono (which is what you get when you duplicate one mono signal across two channels) is still mono, it's just mono that comes out of both speakers.

If your problem is that your audio is only coming from one channel (the left channel for example) you should set the pan for that track to center in the Audio Mixer window (at least in FCP; FCE should be similar I assume.) Once you do this, you can export as a stereo file if that's what you need to do.

yes it's looking like it's only coming out of one channel....can you explain how to set the pan?
