To split a stereo or multichannel track:
1 Select the track you want to split by clicking
its name in the Edit or Mix window. To split
multiple tracks, Shift-click additional tracks.
2 Choose File > Split Selected Tracks Into Mono.
Regions from the channels on the selected
tracks are placed on new, mono audio tracks.
Names for the new tracks are based on the
source track name and channel suffix. For exam-
ple, if a stereo track called “Funkit” is split, two
new tracks called “Funkit.L” and “Funkit.R” are
created.
Output and send assignments and volume and
pan settings are retained in the new tracks.
Mono equivalents of stereo and multi-mono
plug-in assignments are assigned in the new
tracks; multichannel plug-in assignments are
not assigned in the new tracks.
Dragging Regions to and from Stereo
and Multichannel Tracks
When dragging regions to or from stereo or mul-
tichannel tracks, the following rules apply:
◆ Provided the number of tracks and channels
are the same for the source and destination, you
can drag regions between multichannel tracks
and mono tracks.
◆ The source and destination for dragged re-
gions can be mixed. For example, you can drag
regions from a 5.0 track (containing five chan-
nels) to a stereo track and three mono audio
tracks.
◆ When dragging multichannel regions to
mono tracks, the destination tracks must be ad-
jacent.
◆ When dragging regions from mono tracks to a
multichannel track, the source tracks need not
be adjacent.
Multichannel regions can also be dragged from
the Audio Regions List, to multichannel tracks
of the same format, groups of mono audio
tracks, or a combination of both.
Conversely, a collection of single, mono regions
can be dragged from the Audio Regions List to
multichannel tracks—provided the dragged
number of regions matches the number of chan-
nels in the destination track.
Processing Audio with
AudioSuite Plug-Ins
The AudioSuite plug-ins included with your
Pro Tools system can be used to process and
modify an audio region or entire audio file. You
may do this in order to apply a specific Audio-
Suite process, such as Normalization or DC Off-
set Removal, that you know you will always
want applied to the audio.
