Like hundreds of other people I recently downloaded U2’s February 20, 2006 show from São Paulo, Brazil. It was broadcast on TV there and supposedly it’s in stereo though it looks and sounds more mono to me. I want to try to expand the stereo image in Sound Forge before I burn this to CD. I have never done this before and I would appreciate some assistance if anyone knows how to do it properly.

I think you do the following. Go to Process > Pan/Expand, then select “Stereo Expand” for the Process Mode. Then what? What is the proper setting for “Show Wave”? I’m guessing it would be “Mix Channels.” What do you do with the envelope (orange line)? I’m guessing push it up towards “Wide” but how far?

Basically I’m looking for whatever tips anyone may have.

Thanks,
Rob
