How to Export Discrete WAV files from Audition for DCP Creation

Hi all,

Sending files to get a DCP made. They're asking for:

Discrete channels of 24-bit 48 kHz Linear PCM audio (WAV)

The mix will be stereo, but I'm having a hard time exporting a Left and Right channel for it.

Is it as simple as switching my master channel to left and right and exporting each separately? I thought Audition would have an easy option on the mixdown export settings to get a Left and Right discrete channel, but my channel options are grayed out (stuck with "same as source").

PS I'm not an audio guy by any stretch, just a video editor.

Thanks.

If you have a stereo file open it in waveform view and then righ click and select 'Extract Channelks to mono files' then you will have a left and right file

Thanks for the reply.

I thought about that, but wasn't sure if that was giving them what they needed? It was a little confusing to me because ultimately I'm just giving them two mono files if I do it this way right? There doesn't need to be panning information baked into the file, for Left and Right?

If I play one of these extracted to mono channels files, it still plays out of both speakers.

No, doing that is fine - the stereo information is contained within the minute differences between the channels. You can test this by turning the two channels back into a stereo file again, and magically, it will all be back the way it sounded before!
