Hello all.
I have searched for the answer but couldn't find it so forgive me if this is documented elsewhere.
I accidentally set up a multitrack session as mono instead of stereo.
I have finished the mix and want to export it as stereo but the usual pulldown menus won't give me the option to change the export file from mono to stereo.
I can't change sample type from 48000Hz Mono to stereo
Is there a work around?
I read I could edit the .SESX file in a text editor (manually change the text from mono to stereo) file but don't know how I would begin to do that.
Please help.
Many thanks.
Message was edited by: Adrian Smith OK. I figured out a quick fix. I opened the session file .SESX by dragging it onto a text editor app which automatically opened the source code. I used TextMate but any text editor will do it. I just dropped the session file onto the app and it opened/revealed the code. I then changed the word "mono" to "stereo"in the line of code that had to do with session set-up. I saved the file as an exact copy of the session files (so by giving it the same name it replaced the original). Note: Be sure to save it as as a .SESX file and not a default text file. The Audition file will now open as a stereo master session with all the other information intact. I exported the stereo file as originally wanted and got on with life. Hopefully this will be helpful to someone else..

Thank you for this! I changed the code from 'mono' to 'stereo' in every line that I saw the word Mono. Worked a treat. Thank you! 🙂

How did you access the code?

Try reading the first reply - he detailed what he did in the postscript to that, three years ago.

Quick solution: create a new Stereo session, copy and paste the tracks from the Mono session to the new stereo session.

Astonishing that 6 years later, Adobe still haven't thought to put a button on the Mix channel that does this! I've spent hours looking for it!
Simple enough when you know how: I opened my .sesx in Notepad++, on line 5 I found <session appBuild="23.5.0.48" appVersion="23.5" audioChannelType="mono"..., which I changed to stereo. And that was it.
Now to do the same for all my other mixes.

I don't think you've looked very hard...
It's also available in the middle of the master strip in the Mixer view.

That was the first place I looked, Steve, as it's the most logical, but there was nothing there. Same on the mixer. It's there now that it's in stereo.
