Hi
I'm a newbie at Live, so maybe there is an easy way to do this. (I'm used to doing this in Pro Tools).

I have a stereo mix that I made in Pro Tools that is exported as dual mono audio files. I am trying to import this mix into a fresh Live set, and not have Live mess with the audio at all. I dragged the left side to 1 track and the right side to the other, turned off warp, panned left and right, hit play, and the mix sounds all messed up and out of phase.

Is there no means to simply import dual mono files, handle it as one region, and play back normally? Am I missing something?

Thanks all!

Hello,

Live does not have Mono tracks - if you drag mono files on a Live track,
it will be still a stereo track (the mono file is played back as mirrored stereo file).
I recommend to reimport it to ProTools and export it as stereo file.

best,
Christian

i'd assume you'd be able to put each mono track on it's own track, pan each one hard(all the way) L & R. then route both of the channel's audio to a 3rd stereo audio track to receive the separate audio channels into one stereo track. That should merge the audio into one stereo track by re-sampling it. Or you could just solo the 2 tracks, and render it.


hope dat helps

oh yeah, and on the track you send them to, the phase plugin from ableton should keep them synced properly.
