I have to convert a number of audio files to joint stereo, but I don't see this option under Convert Sample Type.

If someone can tell me how to do this in Audition I would be most grateful.

"Glorious mono". I love it!

Yes, I'm starting with a single-channel mono file.

As it turns out, however, the party that is requiring "joint stereo" apparently has an alternative work-around that makes this a non-issue for the present.

Thanks for the info for my future reference, Steve.

Which codec are you trying to use? For MP2 exports, see screenshot:

I need "joint stereo" MP3 files, but as I just mentioned to SteveG, the party that is requiring this has a work-around solution so it looks like it will be a non-issue for the present.

Thanks!

The concept of 'joint stereo' only occurs with compressed (therefore encoded) files - can't happen with uncompressed files at all. For more info, this is pretty succinct: What is Joint Stereo? | Richard Farrar

The reason that you won't find that is that the concept of 'joint stereo' doesn't exist as such - all stereo is joint, by definition. It only comes in two forms - L/R or M/S.

But you haven't given us enough information. Is the file you are starting with a single-channel mono file? If it is, you'll only be able to convert it to what the BBC refers to as 'glorious mono' - where the same information is in both channels, and it comes out centrally when played back on stereo equipment.
