Dual Mono Files

Dual mono files are two mono files that are the left and right channels of a stereo recording. You can open several dual mono files at the same time and have them grouped automatically, provided the files have channel tags in their file names.

You can open dual mono files like stereo files in the Audio Editor, the Audio Montage window, and the Batch Processor window.

In the Audio Files Preferences, on the File tab, you can set the channel ID for the left and right channel, and the channel ID to add to dual mono files when saving the files. Up to 7 name descriptors can be defined, each of which can be of the type Suffix or Advanced.

In the Advanced mode, the channel ID can be located anywhere in a file name. For this purpose, a name pattern must be defined. This name pattern must have a {capture} section.

Name matching is not case sensitive and the file extension is ignored.

By default, WaveLab Pro recognizes the file name endings “.L/.R”, “-L/-R”, or “_L/_R” as the left and right channels.
