Uploading a stereo sound to scratch or turbowarp, it will transform it

The sound should be like this:

But it sound like that

I've known that the editor does not support stereo for a while but I was under the impression that the audio player can play them, but apparently that is not the case

[GarboMuffin]

The editor can only handle mono sounds including when you try to listen to it in the sound editor. However, the VM will play the entire sound as long as you don't edit it in the editor

[Mickmick21]

ah ok

[Mickmick21]

but does that mean it will convert back to mono (in a way) or it will modify it a little ?

[GarboMuffin]

If you edit the sound, the right channel will be dropped and, depending on the size of the sound, it might be down sampled to save space. The latest versions of TurboWarp (not desktop app yet) provide some additional transparency into this.

occasionally i run into an issue where even accessing a sound causes it to become noticably quieter, especially the left channel. could this be related?

[GarboMuffin]

can you provide example? not aware of any case where just viewing sound makes it quieter

[LeWolfYT]

i'll see if i can reproduce it
