    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.

    OK, I generated the first tone in stereo. I muted one channel. Then I tried to generate a mono signal so I could copy it into the active channel. But, Audition would not let me generate a mono signal. Only stereo. So, I am stuck again.


    Audition isn't difficult at all from this POV:

    When you go to Generate, the first thing you get is a file option box:

    Select mono, and then follow the instructions above...
