Exported clip sounds terrible?

Hi,

I've imported 2 wav files.
The one I've split into two so that I can insert the other short wav file in the middle.
So I have three tracks but when I export to a wav file it is not in stereo but the tracks play on individual speakers.
How do I export the three tracks into one stereo file?

Thanks

Stewart

You want to get the first file back onto its own single track, Edit > Cut the track which has the second file , put the cursor in the first track where you want to insert the track, then Edit > Paste.  If the WAVs you imported are mono, that's how your single combined track will play  (you should it hear it out of both speakers if they are set up correctly).

I tried, but then the two tracks are automatically combined again. I need the gap between the two to insert the other wav?
Without combining the two again though, I did manage to get stereo on the export, but only on the first bit before the insert, but then the second bit after is only only the right speaker?
