Thanks for your feedback. I will bear this in mind for future videos, however I have to assume there will be absolute beginners watching as well, so I try to coverage as much ground as possible, pending the material. Cheers!
Hi, I honestly can't say either way, as I haven't personally dealt with surround since audio school in 2003 and I'd never attempted that. In theory, I assume you'll have weird sounds with an identical signal spread out over 5 channels, though. If you have access to a surround system, I encourage you to try and experiment and let me know your findings. Thanks for the comment!
Hi, I need help and everywhere I look, no one has the answer I want. I have stereo audio tracks, and only one side is recording BUT I do not want mono. I know it can be done because I've done it before using a different (yet same type) computer and interface, with the same instrument. I want to record in stereo, but I don't want to have to go through and split all the mono tracks and put them into one stereo track individually because that is too time consuming. What am I doing wrong?
Hi, Vivian Hayes, make sure that the source you're recording is actually stereo and both outputs are feeding two inputs on your interface, e.g. - if it's a keyboard/synthesizer, make sure you're connecting the left and right outputs of the device into say, inputs 1 and 2 on your interface and getting levels on both. Additionally, within your DAW, make sure you're using stereo I/O for the same input...such as 1 and 2 of your physical inputs are feeding 1 and 2 inside your DAW's I/O setup. In most systems, there's an option to capture both inputs as a stereo pair. Let me know if this helps, or I can try and make a video demonstrating what I believe you might be doing wrong. Thanks for your comment!
Hi Joey, thanks for your comment! I'm not entirely sure I understand your question, however conceptually, yes any two mono clips can be highlighted and dragged together into a single stereo track. But, if you have two guitar tracks and print chorus to one of them and drag them to a stereo track, you'll just have two guitars left and right, one of which will have the chorus applied (assuming you processed/printed it). If you're still confused, please elaborate if you can and I'll do my best to form a better response. Cheers!
so when I record my guitar, I use a direct input box and I record a lick on a mono track. Then I copy that recording so I have 2 tracks both the exact same thing. I add a delay (or reverb) to one of the tracks. pan one track , pan the other. I create a (stereo) subgroup with both the tracks pan the subgroup hard right and hard left . idk if this is a good, efficient way to do things and I'm a newbie...does this sound like good protocol?
There're no rules regarding this. It just boils down to how you like to work. Though based on your description here, I'd simply suggest bussing the one mono guitar to an aux track with a reverb or delay on there 👍🏻
Hey Danny, so I was told if I want a stereo image to duplicate my mono track and then invert the waveform of the duplicate. So if I put two mono tracks into a stereo track, will I still need to invert the duplicate or do I just need to duplicate and then drag them into the stereo track?
Hi Daniel, if I understand you correctly, inverting the duplicate waveform would simply introduce phase cancelation against the original and that's probably not what you're goal is, yeah? Based on your question, you may want to simply duplicate your mono track and hard pan the original and the duplicate...this will produce "stereo," but it won't sound any wider, per se, as it's a duplicate. It'll just produce a louder phantom center, so to speak. Try duplicating, hard panning and nudging the duplicate ever-so-slightly out of time with the original (matter of samples/milliseconds), depending on the source and what you're looking to achieve. The point I was making in the video was basically to cut out redundant tracks/voices from fake stereo tracks. I hope this answered your question and thanks for the comment!
Danny Danymal Lee Thank you! I forgot to mention that after I duplicate and invert the track that I pan one to the left and one to the right and that allows for there to be no cancellation. I will try doing what you said.
I knew it was that simple splitting a stereo signal. I just couldn’t remember. Thank you my dude.
you could have shown the same point in so much less time. You draw out your instructions too much.
Thanks for your feedback. I will bear this in mind for future videos, however I have to assume there will be absolute beginners watching as well, so I try to coverage as much ground as possible, pending the material. Cheers!
very true. I understand completely, i guess i just spoke for myself
great tut. Very well explained DDL ! I look forward to more of your knowledge my friend!
Unique Touch thanks for your comment! More goodies are in the works. Is there anything particular you'd like to see addressed on this channel? Cheers!
thank you so much this help me greatly! and i am glad you took your time because i am a newbie!
You're very welcome, Jorge! Glad you found it useful! New stuff coming shortly! Cheers!
Oh man, SO HELPFUL THANK YOU BLESS YOU !!!
Glad it helped! Cheers
Hey Thank You brother, this video was very helpful :)
Rhythm Rug you’re very welcome! Thanks for the comment and subscribing. More content coming soon! Cheers
Good tutorial, thank you. The long pauses between sentences were not necessary though, so watching at 1.5x was better.
Thanks for the comment and I'll bear that in mind for future content. Cheers!
Is it possible to split aac stereo track to 8 mono wav for creating 7.1 channel track ?

thanks man!
You're most welcome and thank you for the comment! Cheers

cool
so say I record one guitar DI method...I would record in mono? dub the track, add say chorus to one track......then put the track in stereo maybe?

omg go to the point!!!
Bro I don’t see split into mono on the menu?
Captivate hello, it should be about half or 3/4 down the menu when you right click on the track name itself. Hope that helps
Starts at 2:52 you're welcome
thx
ty
man dont you love yourself ... geee and cut that gate and get the mic out of your laringe...amazing how some people love to be important..
Seems like he threatens your precious ego in some way :) No need to be an asshole though.
