Plugin to flip stereo track left-right?

[RyanH]

Hi all,

I have a midi drum track that I created in a certain non-FOSS DAW on my phone. The panning options are (more or less) only mono or stereo, and the stereo track pans from the audience's perspective. Being a drummer, I'd prefer it to be panned from the drummer's perspective. Is there a Linux plugin that will allow me to just flip it in Audacity or QTractor after I've bounced it to an audio track?

Actually, immediately after posting this I discovered that the Stereo Routing LV2 appears to offer this function, but I haven't tried it yet.

I'll leave the question here in case anyone has any other ideas. Cheers.

In (I'd guess) any sample editor, there's probably an option to swap channels of stereo samples. In Cool Edit, you can do this with the channel mixer, in Ocenaudio, simply with "swap channels".

As for plugins, either before or after bouncing, you could use Calf Stereo Tools to flip channels. Or use the Carla patchbay plugin to cross audio in- and output.

Cool, thanks! I considered swapping channels in the routing and recording to a new track, but thought it would be easier to just press a button.

Oh, sweet. Thanks @LAM. I've been using Audacity for 100 years - including for part of this project - and never noticed this. I guess I just never went looking for it. (I wasn't using Audacity for the drum track.)
