Hi David,
I have been using Gold Wave to do something similar.
If my stereo file has a bad right channel I will open it with Gold wave and
select the right channel then go to silence and it will silence only that
channel.
Then I either save it in mono or copy the left channel to the clipboard and
swap channels then paste the left back in.
If the result is too loud and clips I reduce the volume of each channel
first.
Phil

Well, I am going to give you a simple answer that I might try, but let me say that I have read Neal's response, and Rob's response. So, my suggestion may not necessarily be the best, you would have to see how the final result comes out, but it would seem to be the easiest, if it works the way you want it to work.
Take your file and save it as a wav or MP3 file, whichever you wish. Take it into Goldwave and resave it as a mono file. Goldwave will let you take any file you have loaded into it and determine mono or stereo, as well as sample rate, and file type in the save as options. As soon as the file is saved it will ask if you want to load the file in its' new format. If it works, and sounds the way you want it to sound it will take you a lot less time. If you don't have goldwave you can download it from www.goldwave.com. The trial version will give you more than plenty time and functionallity to do what you should need to do.
This is just one of the reasons I keep a number of sound editors on my main system; sometimes there is a feature in one that just makes things easier and simpler to do than they are with another. It doesn't mean that I think any less of the others.

I recorded a presentation using an Iriver IFP899 in 96K stereo mp3, and now I have the file in Studeo Recorder.
One of the channels (right) side sounds very good, but the left side you can barely hear anything. Is there a way to extract the right channel so that I could use that one, and discard the poorer sounding left channel.
FYI in the end a mono recording will be fine we don't need stereo in the final mp3 to be released.
Thank you, Mika
