Macro : Split Stereo to Mono

Programming and Development Macros and Scripting
1

Hi

I was wondering if there was a macro to perform the ‘Audio Track’ → ‘Split Stereo to Mono’ function?

I’m trying to automate/standardise processing of our podcast. I’m struggling to see the function. In fact, I can’t even find the ‘TrackMenu’ function that would apparently let me kludge it.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
CT

That command does not exist, but you can get the same effect another way. For example, if the project contains only one stereo track:

SelectAll:
Duplicate:
SelectTracks:Mode="Set" Track="0.5" TrackCount="0.5"
Silence:Use_Preset="<Factory Defaults>"
SelectTracks:Mode="Set" Track="0" TrackCount="1"
Stereo to Mono:
Amplify:Ratio="2.0"
SelectTracks:Mode="Set" Track="1" TrackCount="0.5"
Silence:Use_Preset="<Factory Defaults>"
SelectTracks:Mode="Set" Track="1" TrackCount="1"
Stereo to Mono:
Amplify:Ratio="2.0"

Note in particular the fractional values in the “SelectTracks:” commands (Extra Menu: Scriptables I - Audacity Manual)
