Hopefully I'm not completely missing the point here, since I've never
seen an Ozone in natural habitat, but I'm familiar with the concept.

I would expect that from a single microphone. Does the Ozone have two
microphone inputs? If so, you can get a signal on the other channel by
connecting a second microphone, or by splitting the microphone ouptut
with a Y cable.

But the logical approach is to set up Cool Edit so that the microphone
records to a mono track. The Ozone micropone data stream appears as an
audio device. Just tell Cool Edit that it's a mono device and you won't
have a stereo track with one channel silent.
