Hi,
I’m new to Audacity and trying to reduce/delete vocals from a track. I’m using 10.13.1 High Sierra.
I’ve followed tutorials to split the track into stereo and the invert the bottom part but the problem comes when I am supposed to convert the two tracks to mono. I don’t have that option in my drop down menu.
I know this might be a very basic question but I’m stumped and would really appreciate any hep you could give me.
I am having the same issue. No ‘Mono’ dropdown option.
I am new to this as well and don’t know how to do Bill’s suggestion. I only am learning with inverting track then making mono. The question being: Did Audacity remove the Mono option? Move it? I cannot find any mono option anywhere. Please Help also!
Thank you for anyone’s helpful reply!

In Audacity 2.2.1 (which is available here if you don’t already have it: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/), to convert a stereo track to mono:
“Tracks menu > Mix > Mix Stereo down to Mono”.
The menu name describes what the function does - it mixes (combines by “adding”) the audio from the left channel with the audio from the right channel, and returns a mono track containing the mix.
Please don’t try following old YouTube / Lifehacker type tutorials. They are nearly always out of date, frequently have errors and misinformation, and cause a lot of confusion for a lot of people. There are up to date tutorials in the Audacity manual. In this case, please refer to: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_vocal_removal_and_isolation.html
