Does anyone know an easy way to get stereo .wav files to load into Vegas Audio 2.0 LE as 2 separate mono tracks. I have lots of recordings that are actually 2 track, not stereo. Thanks for tips.
Your question is a tad perplexing. Can you import a wave file at all? I'm not familiar with LE, none the less, if you can import a wave into vegas then another, you can make the two into a stereo wave. If you are asking vegas to take a stereo wave file that has been imported and then slit it up.....you'd have to get creative and probably be less than pleased at the results.
Just a guess,
Maybe someone who knows there stuff more than I will pop in.
Select the event, pan it 100 % left, turn down the right master fader to - inf, then choose tools, and mix it to a mono track. Now do the opposite for the right side.
And what does " multiple mono " in te templates do ?
In version 2 the "pan" function progressively mixes both channels together as you pan left and right. You will not be able to preserve the left and right signals as separate entities using the pan function.
Thanks Mr Sonic EPM
I was afraid that was the answer.
I just bought SoundForge 5.0 and the Vegas 2 LE came for free.
The method I have used is as someone here suggested, use SF to make 2 mono files, then open each one as a track in Vegas.
I was hoping for less work.....
Much Thanks to all who responded

The easiest way would be to open the file up in Sound Forge, highlight the Left channel, drag & drop it onto the workspace and save as (whatever). Do the same thing for the right channel. Then just open each new file onto a seperate track as desired in LE.
Hi Jeff,
Yes, thanks.
I have many hours of live concert recordings that were made for a radio statio. Most of the time I take a DAT and record live mics into L and the press feed off the (mono) board into R. Then later, I time align and spread to pseudo stereo, adding the board feed or mics as need to sweeten either applause or stage presense. So when all is said and done, what I was looking for is a faster way to do these kinds of edits. The best suggestion so far seems to be use SF to make the mono then drag them into Vegas. Being lazy, I was hoping for fewer steps because I have so many hours of tape to sift through......
you can set up a batch in SF4.5, or Batch Converter which will turn all your stereo files into two mono files. you might have to put them through twice, one for the right side and one for the left, but if you have a ton of files to process, you'll save a ton of time. I've done this before so I know it works. just a little tricky to get SF to select the right thing and do the right stuff.
