Cool Edit pro experts needed, wrong converting!

[ccc_p]

Hi all!

I used Cool Edit pro for synchronise translated audio file with
original audio. After 4 hour work I have make a mistake!:

Need only Stereo file convet to Mono and by Convert Sempel Type I not attention that all Channels set 100%, but
for stereo to mono convertion, must be only one Channel set to 100%!
Now my Audo sound with some silly barrel or cask-effect! :(

Problem is that I have save this file and close the Coll Edit
now I cant open resp. go back with undo-help.

Please, if is posseble, how can I normalise this file, that it will
sond without cask-effect?

if needed, I can put on my ftp 2 small WAV file, please help

Thanks
cccp

ccc_p, just try to reduce the amplitude to 50% and see if it helps.

If it does, it will mean that you saved the file in a WAVE which can reproduce out of scale amplitude values. :)

If it doesn't - I'm afraid you will have to edit the whole soundtrack all over again. :(


Oh, and as far as stereo to mono conversion goes, it would be better to set each channel to 50% instead of selecting one and setting it to 100%. Even if the soundtrack is "a mono in stereo".

Good luck.

Now i'm not sure what you mean by "barrel or cask-effect", but try simply removing the right side, only keeping the left, and see if this sounds better than merging stereo into mono. (If this is the case, you have a non-mono compatible signal.)
