Hi Gary,

is it possible that you somehow have a polarity reversal
in the output of your processing chain? That would explain
why you can see both stereo channels in phase (sorry: polarity)
but still hear nothing on your mono sum.

I tried reversing the phase
(polarity) of one channel anyway, but when I did that, guess what
happened? The signal on screen went from this big fat signal to two
straight lines - no signal at all! Undo the phase reversal and back
come the waveforms!

Which signal changed? A mono sum? A polarity reversal on one
of the mono channels should change the polaryty on that channel,
not make both stereo signals disappear. Just to make su Do I
misunderstand what channels you are looking at on the screen?

Hi Dieter -

I don't know what you are assuming, so just let me tell you if the above
wasn't clear or complete enough. In Audition you are looking at both
channels, one above the other on the screen. They are identical for my
example - two of the same mono channel. They are in polarity, but no sound
is output, even tho each channel individually has fine sound. But even if I
Duplicate Left into both channels, there is no output.

Reversing phase in one of them creates an on-screen display that is two flat
lines.

There must be a phase reversal somewhere in this chain, I just can't figure
out where.
