    When you generate your original tone, make sure it's a stereo tone you create. Any subsequent tone should be mono. Now, using the channel controls:

    ... you can mute one of them - I've muted the RH channel. This means that any operations you carry out will only happen to the 'live' channel (mute button is ringed in red). So if you copy the second (mono) tone to that channel, it will leave the original alone, and you'll have the second tone on the other channel, so you'll hear both of them when you un-mute. If you just want the other channel silent, it's even easier - mute the one you want to keep, select Effects>Silence and it will knock out the other one completely.

    I generated the stereo tone. I then muted one channel and tried to generate a mono tone that I could insert into the live channel as you suggested, but Audition would not allow me to do that. So, I am stuck. It won't allow me to generate a mono tone. Very difficult software to use.

    I need also further instructions on how to insert the mono tone into the live channel. Do I copy it and paste it? How do I copy it? How do I paste it? Will the original tone in the live channel be replaced by the mono tone? That's what I want.


    Ah - should have made that clearer - you have to start making a new tone in a separate file - you can't create more in the existing one. Having done that, you select all of it, copy it and then paste it into the channel you want on the first file. Then when you unmute the other channel, you have separate tones on each.
