Also please don't take it personally, like many authoring tools Ardour has a steep learning curve. You also would not be the first sound engineer that wrongly connects some mics.. I was just honestly curious why you wanted to separate a stereo track instead of using the panner or port-connections. Many users want the other way: Combine a two mono tracks to a stereo track for shared editing or FX (and there's likewise no simple way to do that in the editor alone, the tracks need to be a bounced). Track-groups are the preferred way for this for edit operations. subgroup-busses for FX. ciao, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
