Re: split stereo by channel and silence

the reason why is i'm trying to use an ASR( Kaldi to be exact) to transcribe the audio. it seems to work better on short audio clips which is why the split on silence and keeping the channels separate makes it easy to know who the speaker is, plus it was was unintelligible to my model when they were speaking over each other in a single mono file.

i'm still very new to figuring out how to use Kaldi, so there easily could be better way within that tool to handle this.

Why do you want to do this?

You can play the one and then play the other, or just the parts
where they speak over each other.

I you play the L and R files in a sequence (whether one-by-one
or with occasional cluster of L or R as you describe), it will
not be the conversation that happend, exactly in the places
where they spoke over each other.

First please descdribe _why_ you are doing this.
Are the parts when they both speak so uninteligible
that you need to separate them into two mono strems
to actually hear what each is saying?
