I mix in (2x) real-time
Howdy ,

Lets say i recorded a stereo track into cool edit pro 2.0 , would I be able to then split it into two mono tracks so i can equalize them seperately?

May be a dumb question ? but curiousity got the best of me.

Thanks alot
 
yes.

highlight whatever part you wanna edit and right click > copy to new and ta da! .. magic.

OR you could just edit it while still in stereo, by clicking Control+R (or L) and it just highlights a certain area you wanna edit. whatever you do do, it will only be applied to that highlighted section, EXCEPT like mono and stereo and sample type conversion.
 
awesome , thank you.

i can sort of record two seperate tracks at one time now. now to make better music :rolleyes: . thanks again.

thats what stereo is...2 tracks....if you have a stereo track, it is made up of a left and a right channel. If you are using one mic, to record one source, but you are getting 2 wave forms on one track. Then you are actually just recording MONO...both wave forms are the same and they put the same signal out of both speakers. This takes up disk space. Its basically just a waste of space and computer recources. The only way to truly record in stereo is by micing one source with 2 mics. In Cool Edit's track properties, you can choose to record only the left signal, or only the right signal on every track.

Example: Track one, record only left signal with mic A. Track two, record only right signal with mic B. Pan mic A hard left and mic B hard right.

You WILL hear something different than just recording with one mic to a stereo channel.
 
Yea I understand exactly what youre saying but I didnt give enough information about my recording. I can record in stereo / with two mics at the same time. So im not just taking up disk space and duplicating the sound. I asked this question due to lack of experimentation :o but luckily my question was quickly answered and I learned what i needed to know.

you did help saying that you can seperate the two track though. i find that interesting. im gonna go fiddle with it.

its mucho appreciated. :)
