Im so confused. This is not the first time I have exported something, but it is the first time that AFTER export the audio track only plays from the left speaker. I did notice that when in Waveform, it also only plays form the left speaker. But when in Multitrack form it plays just fine. What am i doing wrong?

Need a bit more basic information. Is this a stereo or a mono track? Mac or a PC? If it's a stereo waveform in Waveform view, do both channels show as enabled? (That would be both channels the same colour, and at the RHS of the screen, saying L and R)

Thank you for the quick response! I have a Mac and in waveform is only shows that only the left side is audible.

Okay - is it a stereo session before it's mixed down, or is it only mono anyway? If it's only mono in the first place, then you have two choices; either convert the file to a mono one (you can do that in Edit>Convert Sample Type by selecting Mono in the channels box) or by using the channel on-off buttons and copy and pasting from one channel to the other, you can create a stereo file with only a mono signal coming out of it. Either should play correctly out of both speakers.

If it was stereo to start with, I'd need to see a view of the Multitrack Mixer to work out how you only got half of it exported - and that is pretty much what it looks like, I have to say.
