why?!?!!?

Was your original track a mono track?

Yeah mono file. No stereo plugins. I even try to change the the master to mono and it doesn't help.

Hi Tieg Is the track you're bouncing to a stereo track? H

I'm using the "bounce in place" function. It creates it's own track. The track it creates is a stereo track. This is what I'm trying to fix. I could just change the track to mono, but the audio file itself is still stereo. I can't hear a difference obviously because it was created from a mono file, but because it is treating it as a stereo track it takes twice as long to process things like "audio to score". But mainly it's just annoying.

Do you have "include volume/pan" automation checked? its the only thing that i can see that creates a stereo track from a true mono file.

BTW, I think this is because Logic assumes that if you want to embed pan data into an audio region, it better make it a stereo file first! Also when I asked before about 'bouncing to a stereo track', this is another function you can use with bounce-in-place. You create a new track, or select an existing one, select the region that you want to bounce in place then choose 'Destination: Selected Track' from the BIP menu. Its not particularly relevant to your current situation, but its handy to know and can be quite useful. You can add the region to an already existing track of your choice as part of the BIP. This avoids the hassle of creating a new track, moving the new region to the track you want it on, then deleting the extra track. Cheers Hamish

Hi Hamish, Good spot! I found the same thing too... with Volume/pan automation disabled, it does bounce in place to a mono audio file. Nice solution! Rounik
