I have two buffers used together for a stereo signal (L + R)

Obviously they both write to separate files when using a write message

Is there any way to write them to 1 stereo file?

or would I have to use something like a polybuffer?

With [mxj buf.Op] you can merge the two buffers into one.

Is there a way to do it without using java?

You can use peek~/poke~ to write them into a stereo buffer and then save that. I forget if there's something in JavaScript for this now.

Alternatively, if this is a batch job, you could use a command line util like Sox. I had a directory of large sound files split into stereo and merging them was quite easy.

Hi Peter! I know this is an old thread, but i'm just looking for a simple way to do that with SoX, i would like to merge into a mono file various couples of L R files. I know how to run the -m command and to write "channels 1" at the end.... but then i have to repeat the operation manually for every couple of files. Do you know how to iterate the process? Thx in advance, hope you see the question..
