Import mono tracks not working

Recommended Posts

If you import a video to cakewalk timeline and select "import as mono tracks" it does not do that.

Just brings in an interleaved file.

Always worked, now it's broken.

FYI

Hey, is there a better place to post little issues like this so that someone can think about adding to a future update? 

Thanks

I cant check as I’m on an iPad but …

If you have the interleave set at the default stereo perhaps the import as mono instruction is creating 2 mono tracks from 1 stereo track in the video.. do the left and right channel sound the same or its it definitely stereo? Or creating 2 tracks?

copied from the Reference guide. See point 5.

“Importing and playing back videos
Here are step-by-step procedures for inserting and playing back videos:
To load a video file into a project
1. Choose File > Import > Video, or choose Insert from the Video view’s pop-up menu.
The Import Video dialog box appears. In the Files of type field, select the kind of video file you’re looking for.
2. Select a file.
3. Select the Show File Info check box to display information about the file in the File Info section of the dialog box.
4. Select the Import Audio Stream check box if you want to load the file’s audio data.
5. Select the Import As Mono Tracks check box if you want to import the file’s audio data as one or more mono tracks.
6. Click Open”

hope it helps.

I checked in my system and indeed it's not importing two separate mono tracks from a stereo track video source. I get a regular stereo track instead.

May be a bug?

This has never worked with certain video formats. It didn’t work in SONAR as well.
I’ve fixed it for the next release.
