Voice over Settings Stereo

Question

I understand and have read many post but am still stumped. I am working on a simple project, with multiple clips, titles ,background audio and a couple of AE added.

I have at this point 10 sequences and have started to do the voice overs for each. I had completed three and moved onto four when now my audio waveform is now only showing a single mono track of audio. Yes I can go to the Project panel and modify it to Stereo BUT I have tried everything to reset it so I can record it in Stereo. When I go to Audio channel setting it is greyed out showing Mono but if I go back to the previuos sequence it is Stereo. Am I not seeing something or still missing something.

It´s easier to just use Modify > Audio Channels before you start to edit and set the clip to Stereo and check the R in Media Source Channel. If you do that, all mono clips will end up as "stereo" clips, iow with left and right filled with the same audio.

See the image below, on A1 is the original file and on A2 is the same file changed by Modify > Audio Channels.

Not as many steps, but it must be done before ju place the audio track on the timeline.

...The solution was to create another sequence and than copy and paste all the media from the 'effected' sequence into that new sequence .

Is there a specific reason you need the clip to be in stereo format?

Unless you're using two separate microphones to capture distinct left and right channels, you're essentially recording in mono—even if the clip is set to stereo.

A mono clip on a standard audio track functions the same way as a stereo clip with identical left and right channels: the audio is centered and played equally through both speakers. So if you're only recording with one microphone, there's no practical difference between using a mono or stereo format in terms of what you hear in the final mix.
