Subject:switching left and right

I need to switch the left and right channels of a 16bit
stereo song in SF 4.0. Just to confirm: the result would
be the same as swapping the 2 output cables on your CD
player that go to your receiver.

I've tried to "copy" the entire left or right channel and
then "paste" it to a new blank stereo window - this
partially works. The data does paste to the channel I
select only BUT there is the normal background that is seen
on both channels. What I mean is the (default) "white"
background that is behind the (default) "blue" waveform.
The data pastes to the one channel selected but the "white"
background appears on both channels. This means that when
I paste the other channel, it moves the first paste all the
way to the end of the new paste, even though I was only
pasting one channel to one channel.

Is there a way to only affect one channel when pasting to a
new window?

I mentioned that I tried to copy the entire left or right
channel but that does not matter. Any size paste into the
new blank stereo window gives the same results. It's not
about the size, it's about both channels being affected
even though only one channel is receiving data (music).

thank-you

Just use the Process | Channel converter... from the menu. Select "Stereo to
Stereo -Swap Channels" and party on.
