When i export a audio mono channel it turns into stereo

Question

hello
something went wrong somewhere along the way, now every time i export an audio channel it forms as a stereo channel.
by the way, how can i split a stereo channel on logic 9 into two seperate mono's?

Hi,
1st: There's a little circle below the channelstrip's level meter indication mono or stereo. If it's a single circle, it's mono. If it's a double circle, it's stereo. You'll also see the level meter single or double. Look for the single or double level meter!!
2nd: Be sure you've created a mono audio track. If the track yo try to export is stereo (look at the level meters if they are doubled or not!), the resulting audio file will be stereo. That's because the export function puts the audio data through the circuitry of the track's channelstrip. If you put any Audio file, be it stereo or mono, into a mono track, the resulting export file will be mono. If you put any Audio file, mono or stereo, into a stereo track, the export's result will be stereo.
Experiment - there seem so be a little inconsistency when or when not logic switches a track from mono to stereo and back!
3rd: If you want to avoid the channelstrip alltogether, use the sample editor or the bin to convert the stereo file into split files (one for L, one for R)
