Example: interview speakers on separate channels

A stereo interview may have the host on the left and the guest on the right. Choose Left or Right, export a mono WAV and listen to the preview to confirm which voice it contains. Splitting separates channels; it does not identify or isolate speakers mixed together on one channel.

  1. Choose your stereo recording and preview it.
  2. Select the channel you need and choose Export channel.
  3. Download the WAV, or choose Transcribe this export to continue with that exact audio.

For a transcript of both sides of the conversation, use the original recording. A one-channel export contains only the audio from the selected channel.

Create an editable interview transcript

Split left and right audio channels

Some interview and call recordings put each speaker on a separate stereo channel. Exporting one channel can make review and cleanup easier.

Prepare channel audio for transcription

If one channel is much cleaner than the other, split it out before trimming, normalizing, or transcribing.

FAQ

Stereo Channel Splitter questions

Can I split a stereo recording online?

Yes. Upload a browser-supported stereo file and export the left or right channel as a mono WAV file.

What if my file is mono?

A mono file has only one channel, so the export will use the available audio channel.
