I am using StudioLite for radio production. The soundcard I use is the RME DigiPad 96/8. For a typical 5 day radio broadcast I produce forty versions, 8/broacast day.
For each broadcast version I use three tracks and assign them to out put channels 1-4, all of which are set for stereo. Thus broadcast version 1 is assigned to output channel 1, broadcast version 2 is assigned to output channel 2 and so on. I can now process/mix down twice in one session, 4 versions at a time, as opposed to 8 separate times.
For example under the ‘Audio Device Setup’ my settings are as follows:
Wave Device Out 01 / DIGI96/8 [1+2]
Wave Device Out 02 / DIGI96/8 [3+4]
Wave Device Out 03 / DIGI96/8 [5+6]
Wave Device Out 04 / DIGI96/8 [7+8]
Since I have an 8-channel soundcard I would like to process/mix down 1 time using 8 output channels set for mono. Because this is a radio broadcast they are all mono programs. So, is there a way to double my output channels by switching them from stereo to mono? For example:
Wave Device Out 01 / DIGI96/8 [1]
Wave Device Out 02 / DIGI96/8 [2]
Wave Device Out 03 / DIGI96/8 [3]
Wave Device Out 04 / DIGI96/8 [4]
Wave Device Out 05 / DIGI96/8 [5]
Wave Device Out 06 / DIGI96/8 [6]
Wave Device Out 07 / DIGI96/8 [7]
Wave Device Out 08 / DIGI96/8 [8]
If not, are there any other tricks I can employ to accomplish the same goal of mixing down all 8 of my broadcast versions at once?
I hope this isn’t to confusing.
Thanks,
Andy
