Pasting mono tracks onto stereo creates problem

[msd]

Hey, stalepie here.

I was just trying to copy and paste a mono track onto a stereo track and I noticed that it only pasted it into the left channel. Is there a way to get it to paste onto both channels of the stereo track, or do I have to turn the mono version into stereo (artificially) and THEN paste it onto that stereo track to keep the stereo track (at that part) from only coming out of the left speaker?

Because that's what's happening. I paste it onto the stereo track and then that mono file only starts coming out of the left speaker. And I just kind of find that annoying.

Thank you.

Also, how do I donate to your project? Is there a donate button somewhere?

Oh never mind. I see it.

And I can't have an avatar?

What kind of a forum IS this...

Upgrade to Audacity 1.3.9 (or wait a few weeks and upgrade to Audacity 2.0).
(Audacity 1.2 is ancient and lacks many useful features that are now available).

In Audacity 1.3.x you just move your audio clips along the time line (with the Time Shift Tool) to where you want them, and no need to copy / paste.

What kind of a forum IS this...

It's a "help" forum in which Audacity users help each other to get the most out of Audacity.
