Dual mono files do not open as combined

sorry for re-activating such an old thread.

Today I’ve made my first recording using Nuendo Live 3 and files are named as follows:

How to tell Wavelab to combine “01 - Track 001_01.wav” with “02 - Track 002_01.wav” and “01 - Track 001_02.wav” with “02 - Track 002_02.wav”?

Why isn’t it possible to select two mono tracks in a wavelab audio montage and perform a command “combine as stereo signal”?

Thank you very much!

What is possible, it to render the two mono tracks as a stereo file. But you can’t merge the two mono tracks as a stereo track.

Easy:

Thank you very much, PG!

I’ve tried as you suggested, but it does not work that way, as it is about a prefix, but not a suffix. It might work using the advanced pattern, but I do not know how to build a regular expression that way, that

  • parts in the filename, which might differ from each other and should be omitted,
  • parts, which have to be equal and
  • that part, which should be evaluated as left and right identifier and compared to the IDs above

are marked. It seems, that {.} is used for the latter one, but what about the other parts?

The question about combining tracks was meant as request for having an alternative way of handling dual mono files as stereo track within an audio montage without the need to have a proper file naming scheme. Another idea: If two mono files with same properties are added to a stereo track via drag’n’drop: ask, which one of the 2 possibilities to assign these 2 files to left/right shall be used.

Yes, I see suffixes on your picture (_01 and _02)
Anyway, I can make it work with prefixes too:

The advanced pattern is this one:

^{…}[/./-/_]

Not sure what you mean, but if you drang and drop the two mono files (with the above pattern) to a montage stereo track, then it will work as you certainly expect…
