Stereo audio tracks?

[smokinggoldfish]

It appears to me that PTE treats all audio as mono. Am I right or have I missed something?

The ability to edit the sound clips and tracks together with the images and videos is terrific, and greatly speeds up the work flow. But it would be nice to be able to do it in stereo, and have stereo output in the finished work..

If indeed PTE only does mono then this is a request for a future feature, and I'll post it on the correct forum!

No, PicturesToExe plays stereo just as it was recorded. You have stereo output if you use stereo input. Here's a little mp4 video test for you to use: http://www.lin-evans.org/pte8/stereotest.zip

Just download and extract the mp4 and add it to a test project and you will clearly hear the stereo. PTE doesn't segregate the channels on the envelope so you have no independent control over channel volume. It's assumed that your input has already been adjusted for balance, but PTE handles stereo perfectly.

In the timeline you only see the waveform of the mixed stereo channels, but you hear the sound in stereo!

Thanks Lin and jt. I will try the test. I assume then that using a mono track will give an even split between left and right channels.

I would like to recommend to make your own tests. You may use Audacity or any other audio editor in order to prepare different kinds of audio clips. Define a new PTE project including just one image with an appropriate duration. Insert the audio clips. Then publish the project as a custom HD video (video part at a resolution of 64 by 64). Open the video in Audacity as an audio file, and you will see how PTE handles your audio input.
