Dual Mono Files

Dual mono files are two mono files that represent 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 that the file names include channel tags.

Just like stereo files, you can open dual mono 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 be added to dual mono files when saving the files. You can define up to seven name descriptors, each of which can be of the type Suffix or Advanced.

In Advanced mode, the channel ID can be located anywhere in a file name. For this purpose, you have to define a name pattern. 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.
