Well, I must be blind in Cleaner also, can't find a way to do
it....maybe it's time to put me out to pasture.
Now, I'm talking about splitting an AAC compressed stereo file into two
independent mono files, or eliminating/extracting one, WITHOUT any
recompression. Lots of programs can make stereo>mono WITH
recompression.
Honestly, I don't need to do it any more, I'm just going to record in
mono!
However, it's now turned into a challenge...
WireTap Pro, QT Broadcaster, and WhackedTV all do a good job of
recording compressed-on-the-fly low-bit-rate mono AAC.
QT Broadcaster automatically adds a hint track, if you are going to
stream, and it's easy to set a preset so all you have to do is hit the
"Broadcast" button (you're not really broadcasting, just recording).
But WireTap Pro has that nice little vu meter...
Thanks to the folks that suggested the above solutions.
