Converting Split Stereo Files to Interleaved Stereo You can convert two (split stereo) audio files into an interleaved stereo file in the SDII, AIFF, or WAV format. This is useful if you want to use a split stereo file in another application, such as the WaveBurner CD mastering software, which only supports interleaved files. To convert split stereo files into interleaved stereo files 1 Select the audio files in the Audio Bin. 2 Choose Audio File > Copy/Convert File(s) from the local menu (which is also available by Control-clicking the Audio Bin or using the corresponding key command). 3 Choose Split to Interleaved in the Stereo Conversion pop-up menu. 4 Type in a filename, browse to a folder location, then click Save. Note: This only works for split stereo files. You can't use these commands to combine two mono files into a stereo file. Exporting Split Channel Files You can bounce stereo files from Logic Express in interleaved or split stereo formats. Essentially, there is only one parameter of importance for creating split format files in the Bounce window: • File Type pop-up menu: Choose Split. Full details on all Bounce window options are found in Bouncing Your Project. Interleaved or Split Bounce File? In some cases you might need to bounce to a different format than the one you're working with. • Interleaved bounce: Bounce to Interleaved when you want to use the file in another audio application that supports interleaved files (most audio applications or devices do). • Split channel bounce: Perform a split channel bounce when you want to use the file in Pro Tools software, or another application that only supports the "split stereo" format.
