I'm confused. 
I've done 2 recordings, one with mono and one with stereo set on the preamp (Juicedlink). Actually, 3, the third in mono but with "pad" on, which should record a lower signal to the right side, is my understanding.
Recording in stereo results in left channel only? This would be right, leaving the other channel open for a second mic?
Recording in mono with pad off, results in sound being evenly recorded to both channels? I was under the impression that mono only recorded to the left channel. Hence confusion.
Should mono only record to one channel, or both? When I import into AD, at the bottom where it lists Audio Codec is says Stereo for all my files (don't know if this is relevant).
How does one learn all this stuff besides with lots of trial and error (and frustration)?  
Edit: Just tried to produce a mono file to stereo and can confirm it still only has the left channel. In this case, It was mono with a lower signal recorded in the right channel. I "silenced" this channel in AD, then produced in stereo. Resulting wav file only has left channel sound.

Thanks, that makes complete sense.
Dumb question... how do I produce it as a stereo clip?
Do I do all the modifications on the one channel I want and then "producing as a stereo clip" is the last step?
edit: I just produced it as a stereo .wav and imported that file, but it is only showing as the one channel as well.

I have audio recorded through a DSLR (via a preamp) to the left channel only (one mic). I can duplicate this channel in AD and copy it to the right channel, but is that the standard way of making the left audio come out from the left and right in the final video?
I have read about "centering" the audio with panning but can't seem to figure out how to do that in AD. I followed (the rather vague) instructions in the help file with no luck. I'm using AD3.
Just really wanting to know, what is the recommended way of turning one audio channel into two, and how is this best achieved in AD.
I know in Premiere they have the fill effect, which I believe is simply a duplication of one channel to the other.
Thank you in advance for any help.
