Extract one channel...

To extract the left channel of an existing stereo Sound as a new mono Sound, select that stereo Sound in the list and choose Extract one channel... from the Convert menu, Then set the Channel to 1 and click OK. A new mono Sound will appear in the list. For the right channel, set Channel to 2.

## Details

The name of the new mono Sound will be based on the name of the original stereo Sound. For instance, if the original Sound is called `hello` and you extract channel 2, the new Sound will be called `hello_ch2`.

This command also works if you select more than one stereo Sound. For each of them, Praat creates a new mono Sound.
