Need to take 1 channel recording to Stereo

Right now what he has is NOT even Mono. One side of a stereo channel is NOT Mono. It is part of a musical program/Recording.

Try reading before rendering...

"The audio tech I was working with only had a mono input into my recorder and it recorded the entire event as a Stereo recording with only a Left Channel input. The Right Channel had no signal so its dead."

He recorded MONO on the rt input of his recorder...so he has everything; just in mono....

A left channel with a right channel left out is NOT Mono. Keep reading and you will see that the OP himself is trying to recreate the other missing channel. Either way I told him all he has to use is a "Y" cord to duplicate the channel he has.
 
A mono signal was fed into the left input of his recorder. He has a full mono signal all the sound is there; it's just on the left channel of his recorder....You statement was that he was missing part of the music, he isn't...
Go ask him for yourself if it was a deliberate True/Summed Mono Signal and you will see. You cannot believe how many people think that one side out of a pair of outputs equals mono.
 
All you have to do is read the first post...are you so clouded by your belief that you are right all of the time...I'll take it that it is a mono signal....

"The audio tech I was working with only had a mono input into my recorder"
A mono input can be interpreted in many ways, correct as well as wrong. What brought me to that conclusion in this case was that one time someone was handing me a single cable to go into my board. I asked him for the other cable and he said it was Mono. The song sounded different and when I went and looked, lo and behold it was one side coming out the main output of the mixer. There was no Mono switch. Trust me I see it all the time. Thats exactly what those guys were attempting to do last Sunday at the Club (See my other post). Maybe the OP can clear this up. Was the stereo program switched to Mono from one of the sources?
 
You amaze me (not in a good way).....you can take something so simple...and 3 pages later.......Cesar had nothing on you....

You know there was this one time at band camp...........................
Why don't we wait for the OPs clarification. I was not the only one on here that interpreted it the way I did.
 
Did a gig for a corporate event 2 weeks ago and used a Zoom H2n to record from the Mixer Main (XLR output from Mixer to 1/8" input on Zoom). The audio tech I was working with only had a mono input into my recorder and it recorded the entire event as a Stereo recording with only a Left Channel input. The Right Channel had no signal so its dead.

Is there anyway to duplicate the channel and 'flip' it to the Right Channel also to create a "Stereo" setup in Mono? I tried doing it on Garagaband and could not come up with an answer. the clients are desperate for the recordings, and I am at the end of the line here looking for help.

Thanks in advance - I thought about trying Audacity as I thought it was something I could do this with, but am unsure because I've never used that program. Thanks!
STEVE, Your reply appears to be the one clouded. You are so out to counter anything Canute says you miss the details in this thread and others. Read bolded in Red. I say he had a stereo channel missing in his recording. See underlined. The OP may clarify for your benefit so lets wait before calling in the jury.
 
you should both have been politicians you avoid my point to turn the tide. Dont play the English second language card with me lol.
 
In a live recording a single microphone (mono microphone) will result in a mono signal no matter if the mic signal was recorded to two or one channel. The OP had such a recording.

OK now. Who ever said it was a live recording? However if it was, have you never seen a Live Recording with multiple mics going in to a major mixing board where some tracks are routed out as stereo left and right? Lets not muddy this up any further.
 
Original poster said it was a live recording.

He did not say what kind of Mixer/board he was using, how many mics etc., if it was indeed a mono or stereo with a mono cord. Too many questions left unanswered.
 
so now your talkin out the other side of our neck. Wh would you have adamant tough love responses such as ou have in this ver thread if there is too many unanswered questions? Im beginning to think ya just like to stir Feces.

Jon, I am astute and man enough to recognize the points brought up by LeBlanc and David. That is why I said in my above post, to let the OP clarify. Even you too were jumping to conclusions in the beginning of the thread.
