Bounce in place creates stereo file from mono.

Recommended Posts

I also noticed this with Bounce in Place. Trying Bounce in Place with a mono vocal created a stereo file.

 

Things I tried:

 

1. Made sure the plugins were all mono.

 

2. Made sure the stereo/mono selector at the bottom of the vocal channel strip

and Output 1-2 was mono.

 

3. Tried selecting a mono output on the vocal channel strip and made sure the

stereo/mono selector at the bottom of Output 1 was mono.

 

4. Gave up on "Mono Bounce in Place".

 

5, Did Export Region as Audio File. The result was a mono file

 

Ideas anyone?

Got it!!! You must uncheck Include Volume/Pan Automation and the bounced file is Mono on Mono track. And a guy from other forum explained to me why it is not a bug. Never thought about it in that way, but when you have a pan setting bounced it is normal the file to be stereo, so there can be left and right. Stupid me!!!

I'm having the reverse problem - I attempt to BIP a stereo mix file, and it gives me back a mono... no plugins, etc.

 

The weird thing is, I did this many times and it worked fine, but just since yesterday it's quit working.

 

Any tips?

 

Prepare a Stereo track for bouncing and it'll give you a stereo file.

Correct you are, sir! I just tried it. Makes sense now. But, like martist asked,

Lets say I have volume automation but no panning.How can I export or bounce mono file WITH volume automation?

 

One way requires 2 steps:

 

1. Bounce in Place with Include Volume/Pan Automation checked. This produces a stereo file that includes your volume automation.

 

2. Make sure the channel strip is mono and Bounce in Place the stereo file you just made with Include Volume/Pan Automation unchecked. This produces a mono file.

I know this is an older thread, but I thought I'd add this

 

A) the above helped me sort out a similar problem, so thanks to above posters! ;)

 

B) even if the stereo plug-in is muted (in my case a reverb) the BIP will be a STEREO track. I un-plugged (deleted) the muted reverb and got my mono track.
