Audacity Forum

Hello everyone, I hope I posted in the right section, but anyways, I have an audio files where I see two soundtracks, one for each ear, under one track, and for some reason, only the left channel of the audio file is audible. The right side is for some reason full of hissy sounds. I have to draw pull the arrow to the L to stop hearing the hissing sound, however, of course I'm only hearing it through one ear. How is it possible to rip the audio from just the left side and make it so I can hear it on both sides?

Thank you.

In the Track Control Panel, click on the track name (which is the track drop down menu) and select "Split Stereo Track". You now have two tracks, one for the left and one for the right channel. Delete the track with the hiss by clicking the "X" at the upper left of the Track Control Panel. On the remaining track, click on the track drop down menu and select "Mono".
