Importing in Lo-Fi

[GBREAL]

By default when I import my samples from my Flash Card they come in stereo. I forgot how to import them in lo-fi. Unfortunately I lost my manual some I am stuck on this one.

is it possible then? i wanted to import stereo wavs in mono, something a bit similar, but as far as i know it's only possible by resampling after import.

Can you just mix em down to mono on your computer and then import as normal?

You can't import at a different format than the original you'll either have to convert it elsewhere or record via the line input.

It isn't hard to convert to mono on the computer, but if you also want lo-fi quality it occurs to me that an audio editor (audacity etc) could let you...
Change format to 8 bit
then change format back to 16bit.
A lot of fidelity will be lost by the conversion to 8bit and it'll stay lost when you convert back to 16bit.
You could also change sample-rate as low as 8k and then back to 44.1k and again the lost quality won't come back.

You can import your stereo samples normally and resample them with the 'stereo' button turned off and 'lo-fi' turned on.
