Single line Wave after Render in Place ? How to do that

Hi,

I’m doing some experimenting with Omnivocal. After I made Render in Place, I noticed the created wave form is a ‘double line’. Maybe a stereo?

But most Vocal Loops I have do have a single line wave form.

How can I render to a single line wave form like the Urban Pop in the above example?

Hi,

Yes, Render in Place always results in stereo. Add both channels are the same, it sounds exactly the same as mono.

I get around this by creating a mono dummy bus in Audio Connections Outputs (dummy because it isn’t actually routed to any physical output). When I render a mono file I first assign the output of the track to this dummy bus. The resulting rendered file is in mono.

I think it depends on the settings. Here a Mono-File on a Mono-Track rendered in place results in

  1. A Mono-File when rendered with “Channel-Settings”
  2. A Stereo-File when rendered with “Complete Signa Path” or “Complete Signa Path + Master Effects”.

Aaah, Sorry, I missed the Omnivocal-Part of ru.paas post.

Yes, rendering Software-Instruments always results in Stereo-Files.

Yes, thanks for the respons, I whas wondering that. Because Omnivocal is ‘Vocal’ and I assumed it should be mono when rendering?

Is there another workaround than the render in place functie to make audio from Midi?

You could render in place and then use Menu “Audio”—> Convert Channels… and set to “Singel Channel” in the dialogue. that´s the quickest way that I can think of.

Hi, thank you, that worked. Didn’t find the ‘‘Convert Channels’’ in the audio Menu (I’m on CB 15 pro), but within key commands the command is there.

Ok, I‘m on Nuendo, maybe thats a difference

There is no disadvantage using the stereo file, unless you’re really tight on hard drive space. Personally I wouldn’t worry about it and just use the rendered stereo file. As was pointed out, the audio signal within that stereo file is mono.

I thought it makes a difference when using the wave for Vocoder, but indeed I can’t hear any difference.
