Hi Robert. Thanks for the tip. I read about this and had a question.
as quoted form the instructions, " A stereo spatializer effect. Creates an
artificial stereo effect that can be useful for giving some "depth" to mono
recordings. Mono tracks must be converted
to a 2 channel track before using the effect. To do so, click above the Mute
and Solo buttons in the Track Control Panel, choose Edit > Duplicate then
click on the name of the upper track and select "Make Stereo Track" from the
dropdown menu."
CTRL+d duplicates the track but are there keyboard commands for the rest of
these instructions?
Thanks for the help.
Scott

Search for Steve's Pseudo Stereo effect (Audacity Nyquist effect).
You can check the overall phase with the Vocal Reduction and Isolation plug-in.
Select the last action "Analyze" in the effect.
It will tell you how the two channels are correlated.
100 % means that both are equal and -100 % means that one is the same but
inverted etc.
Aim for about 50 % plus.
Best

Hi there.
I created some field recordings using my iPhone so they were in mono.
I wanted to convert them to stereo so I pasted the left channel onto
the right channel a fraction of a second later to create a stereo
effect. Someone told me about phasing and how if the file is out of
phase, you won't hear it when you collapse the file to mono.
In my case, when I went to track and then to create mono file, I heard
the audio but it has this odd underlying artifact in it so I'm
wondering if there's a better way to convert a mono file to stereo so
that, if it plays on a mono speaker, I won't hear that strange underlying
sound?
I tried a stereo plugin but it apparently made the file out of phase
because when I collapsed it back to mono, I didn't' hear anything.
I hope my question is at least sensible and that someone can give me
some good suggestions of best practices for converting a mono file to stereo.
Thanks for the help.
