If a file is mono, it has 1 channel only.  Sure, you could convert it to a 
stereo audio file, but it would sound the same and you'd simply be inflating 
the file size.

There are effects which can add a pseudo-stereo field to mono audio, but in the 
end you'll still have one channel stretched across the stereo spectrum, rather 
than true 2-channel sound.

Hi all.
How do I create a mono file from a stereo file? Asking as I did a 
recording which was accidentally done in stereo. As a result both my 
voice and speech is coming out one channel only. I haven't as yet found 
a way to create a mono file out of this using GoldWave. Thanks.

Hi, you go to the channel mixer, and select the mono preset for what ever 
channel it's coming out of..
Hope this helps.

Hi,

Actually, a stereo file is the same size as a mono file at the same bit 
rate.  Think aobut it.  A bit rate says how much data is being sent per 
second.  If it's 128kbps, that's how much data is being streamed or read per 
second.


what happens is, if you create a stereo file at 128, it has to squash the 
data into the same size, this basicly halves the quality.


If you really want to hear this in a big way, take a file, save it at a low 
bit rate in stereo, and then save it in mono.


I think with wave yes, the file will be twice the size, but not with mp3, 
ogg, etc.

Or, you can save the file as a mono file.  You can hit I think it's control 
l for left or control r for right, take just that one speaker, copy it to 
the clip board, create a new file, paste that speaker only into the file, 
and save it as a mono file.

Re: [BlindTech] Creating a stereo file from a mono file using gold wave

2011-09-27 Thread Danny Miles
Hi Michael.  I use Jaws 10 but everything about my set-up is the same,
so I should think that this will work for you.  Please let me know if
you have any trouble or questions.

So, once you have your file opened, press control + A to select all.
Then press control + C to bring up the effects menu and press S.  Jaws
will say "channel mixer ..." which is the first option in this
sub-menu.  Either press enter on this or press the letter C, and you
will be taken into that particular section.  My version never seems to
take me into the first dialog box in this menu, so you might need to
tab around a bit, but you're looking for the option "Left channel,
left volume".  This, and the following three options (left channel,
right volume and the same options for the right channel) dictate the
percentage of content from that channel which is played in the file.
You need to use your up arrow (or I use page up to make it quicker)
until all four of these options are on 100% (two of them are probably
on 0% if it's a mono file).  Then tab to OK, press enter and you
should be done.

Good luck, Danny
