I know we don't usually like the mixing desk analogy, but if you have a microphone (mono) plugged into a mixing desk and move the channel pan pot to the left, then the (desired) result is that the microphone signal moves to the left in the stereo field. Most modern CD burners do not have this constraint. In such cases, the procedure that you describe (duplicate the track and then join them as a stereo track) is an easy way to produce the 2 channel track. One example could be that some old CD burners require stereo (2 channel) files. There are a few situations when a 2 channel (stereo) track for a mono sound is required, but this is fairly uncommon. When you Export your final mix, the file produced will sound the same as when you play the unmixed Audacity Project. Basically it is "pretty simple" because you don't really need to know or understand how it does it. When mono or stereo tracks are mixed down they will produce an output that is the same as the playback mix. When set to centre the mono track will play back equally to both left and right playback channels (making it sound central in the mix). Moving the Pan slider to the right will reduce the playback level out of the left playback channel (making the sound appear to come from right of centre). When set to centre both the left and right track channels will play at full volume to their relative playback channel.įor a mono track, pushing the Pan slider to the left will reduce the playback level out of the right playback channel (making the sound appear to come from left of centre). Moving the Pan slider to the right will reduce the playback level of the left track channel (making the sound appear to come from right of centre). What it does is to change how it is sent to the main stereo output (as shown in the Playback meter).įor a stereo track, pushing the Pan slider to the left will reduce the playback volume of the right track channel (making the sound appear to come from left of centre). Moving this slider left/right does not change the actual data in the track in any way. Whether a mono or stereo track, there is a "Pan" slider on the left side of the track.
