DVD and Steve, thanks for your replies. I have sorted out the stereo imbalance following MS decoding. Seems that what I thought was MS was actually two tracks of M or two tracks of S, so that explains the behavior I was seeing. The important thing is to intiate the pairing of the tracks from the mul...

Jademan and DVDdoug thanks for your advice, I eventually noticed it in the track drop down menu. My next issue is I am getting very lopsided L/R channel amplitudes when performing MS decoding via channel mixer. Wondering if I have a phase reversal between M and S. This should only swap the channels ...

I have a newly acquired Zoom F8n field recorder so I am still in the learning process with it. I can import the multi tracks into Audacity 2.4.2.
I would like to couple two of the tracks as a stereo pair with no mixing to mono. Is this possible?
