I am working with a guy with a tape machine(read latest reply to Sonar post DB) and I know that the tape heads are what's responsible for breaking up the audio into different tracks. My question is(and I think I know the answer but I'll ask anyway)Is there anyway to seperate a digital audio track, say a .wav file, into it's respected tracks? What I think is no, probably just left and right huh?

May 31, 2002 07:56 pm yup, just left and right if it is a stereo wav. What most multitracking applications do is save each track to an individual wav file (or bundle them like cakewalk products do in a proprietary format) and you save the song as a simple reference file that you load and it tell the application which wav to open in each track.

Jun 01, 2002 01:35 pm When I know I am going to need the left and right track's separate, I record them to 2 separate track's. This is even possibel withan SB card, becuase Sonar or CakeWalk will let you use either Stereo input or separate right and left, or multiple input's if your card has it. You can also mix down from a stereo track to 2 separate audio track's in the (tool's, mixdown audio). Select the mix to separate left and right track's option and your set.
