Default How to separate 1 waveform composed of two tracks

I have a bad audio tape that contains both sides of the tape recording

This was recorded on a machine with a misaligned head, I assume. What you
need is to play it back on a machine with a narrower than normal head.

If this is a half-track tape, you can put it on a quarter-track machine and
then move the head height adjustment up and down until you find a place where
it sounds good.

Sonic Foundry has a reverse feature but I cant separate the 2 sides so that
I can reverse just one (The audio clip shows up as just one waveform.)

Is there a way to filter the waveform into its 2 track components?


This is a physical problem with the tape. It needs to be fixed with proper
playback.
