Changing stereo to dual mono?

Working on a multicam clip. I recently did a project where I was able to split a stereo to dual mono. This was a conference, two speakers with separate mics; I needed to be able to cancel the 2nd speaker when he wasn't talking. There was a drop down menu (when that track was highlighted) to choose 'dual mono'. Worked out just fine.

New project. I got the main audio feed from the conference producers. The .AIFF file says it is stereo, though I'm only hearing what appears to be mono. It looks like the Inspector is telling me it's stereo. But I can't find the drop down menu that would allow me to split the stereo to 'dual mono', and separate the voices. Before I start messing around with Logic ... maybe someone can steer me straight here? See attached snapshot at what I'm seeing in the inspector ...

Hi Tom. I think that's what I'm doing. I double-clicked open the project into a timeline that shows me all the separate cameras, and audio (tracks). I highlight the audio. I don't see anything different over in the inspector. Oh, ****. So duh, obvious. I was looking for something ABOVE the blue clips ... and there it was, the choice, in the blue 'dialogue' clip box. Just now set it.

Ouch. Slow brain. Thank you most kindly Tom.

All the best, Ben

Sigh. The producers did a pre mix of the stereo to mono ... so even though it's a stereo .AIFF, both sides have the same information. So I wasn't able to remove the rumbling tummy and throat clearing of the non-speaking speaker. Something to be said for doing your own audio at ALL times.

Select the clip in the multicam clip editor not the multicam clip in the project.

If you do it in the project you’re probably doing it to a single edited clip. Double click a clip to open the multicam clip editor. There you can do it to the whole file.
