Sony Vegas: Mono To Stereo Audio

I was editing video the other day, and wanted to voice over the existing sound – my wife was making a racket in the background :O)

I recorded the new audio using a Sennheiser microphone plugged into my M-Audio Fast Track Mixer. The sound was only recorded in one channel.  What this meant was my video was only going to have sound coming out of one speaker – not what I wanted at all.  Fortunately, armed with one-channel audio, it is relatively easy to put the same audio through both channels in Sony Vegas.  The video below shows how to do this.

The process is simple:

1. CTRL + left click and drag the audio to a new track.
2. Make one audio track right channel and the other left channel.
3. Bingo.  Simulated Stereo (at least you have sound coming from both speakers).
