Why is my mono track bouncing to stereo

I don’t remember this happening before. Every project a new problem. I even created a mono out for the track and still stereo.

Please add a screenshot of the track and its routing including your Mono Out.
I have an idea but it’s easier to explain with a screenshot in case I got the right hunch.

Tabla track, with mono output

Hi,
your tablas track is a stereo track. You can turn it into a mono track, too, right there in the project window if that’s what your looking for. Double click on the Stereo icon (the two entangled circles in the track header) to turn it into a mono track.

Thanks. That is a nice capability I didn’t know about, but you mean the original tabla track don’t you. Unfortunately, that didn’t work on the one underneath, and the table seemed off tune so I used vari-audio to tighten their pitch to A, which most were slightly off from.

then this is weird. I was playing back and everything was out of time. I looked at the version before processing and saving with the bounce and the tempo was 130. the bouncing had changed the tempo to 140. I wondered how this could be and I remembered that when I originally inserted this table part from another one of my songs, I had to adjust the tempo. So apparently bouncing it changed the tempo of the song and things no longer matched. You can see in the picture that the 2 tabla tracks don’t align, and the bounced by the end was much shorter. But I dragged with the time stretch tool so the ends matched and now they are aligned.

I don’t want to rebounce and lose that editing so I guess I will have to split the audio track to mono and keep one……………………………….

I guess I may as well start over, as that stretching ruined all the pitch alignment to A I had just done. Is there a way to just tell all those to move to A accurately, moving all the little segments individually was tedious.

Just to add: this was changed somewhere in version 14. Before a mono event would bounce to a new mono event. Now the channel configuration is taken into account. Only affects audio parts, though. Doesn’t affect audio events. That’s why I try to convince Steinberg that there is a bug. So far without success.
