Convert 2 Mono tracks to Stereo track with Auto Renaming and Delete function
By Mike Avenaim @Mike_Avenaim
Hey all...
Here is a script i built with @Kitch that allows you to convert 2 mono tracks to stereo and automatically rename the new stereo track and delete the original mono tracks. For e.g. If you someone sends you something to mix from another daw and ProTools makes the overhead tracks split and named "OH.A1 and OH.A2" this script will make those 2 tracks into a new stereo track, rename it to "OH" by removing the suffix and deleting the original mono tracks you no longer need!

if (dlg.children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText").whoseValue.contains(dialogText).first.exists) {
dlg.buttons.whoseTitle.is(buttonName).first.elementClick();
