Audio Channel Mapping problems

Hi Everyone,
I can't seem to find a solution to my problem.
I use Audition in two situations.
Firstly, with the internal soundcard (Mac Book Pro) when I'm out and secondly, when I'm at home with my focusrite scarlett.
When I'm out, Audition won't play as it can't find the focusrite.
Question: How do I use Audition in both situations?
My work around is to start up Audition with the shift key when I don't have the focusrite with me.
Any solutions that anyone can suggest?
With Logic, it just shows up a message saying my Focusrite isn't available.
Many thanks!

Thanks, ryclark for your reply!
When I'm not using the Focusrite:
The "Device Class" only shows "CoreAudio."
"Default Output" only shows "Built-in Output."
On the "Audio Channel Mapping" page, it has
"Output":Device: Scarlett 2i2 USB" and
on "File Channels": "1[L] Unknown-Device query failed."
So, it's remembering the Focusrite Scarlett, but then can't find it, so stops.
Weird!
Surely there's a workaround?
Thanks!

Exported file sounds different inside Audition CS6 - audio channel mapping problem?

Hi guys. I've been working on some voice reels today, and for some reason my finished and exported files sound different to how they sound in Audition - basically, the music tracks increase in volume whenever the voice actor isn't speaking. As mentioned, this isn't happening in the Multitrack session, just when playing back the exported track in a third-party app, and has only been happening today. I've tried messing around with the Audio Channel Mapping and Audio Hardware settings in the Preferences, without any joy. I'm suspecting something's got messed up on the sound card, but just wanted to check that I haven't missed something painfully obvious inside of Audition!
Specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit
AMD Phenom II X64 2.8 GHz, 8GB RAM
Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium
M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496
NVIDIA GeForce GTX650Ti 2GB

Can't answer that without quite a bit more information about the third-party apps, what exactly you're exporting, workflow, etc. It won't be a mapping issue though - that will only affect the output of Audition to a hardware device.
But if you are exporting a single file with everything on, and it plays okay in Windows Media Player, for instance, then whatever is happening isn't with Audition, but whatever you are putting it back into. It sounds as though some sort of auto-leveling system is at work - and Audition wouldn't do that unless set up very specifically to do so.

Output channel mapping problem for surround encoder

vista 64 bit
sound blaster titanium x-fi sound card
logitech 5.1 speaker set up
hello, i am trying to mix a movie i made into 5.1. when i open the surround encoder, go to the audio hardware setup and try to set my output channel mapping i only get two speakers. i have a card that supports 5.1, 5.1 speakers, and get surround sound when i play a DVD. yet audition only recognizes my left and right speaker. any help on how i get my output channel mapping set correctly?
thanks in advance!

Thank you for the info, though I admit I'm still a bit confused.
My card is a creative x-fi extreme gamer. It has 3 line out jacks and one line in jack. T Oh, here it is in the manual...thats just not good enough.
But what is the surround encoder dialog box doing, if not encoding surround mixes? The manual says I can exportsurround sound from a multitrack session.

QuickTime Pro Scripting - Audio Channel Mapping

Does anyone know if there is a way to script audio channel mapping and renaming in QuickTime Pro 7? I deal with a lot of 5.1 audio that needs to be channel mapped and renamed to its specific channel for iTunes uploading. I'm currently doing this task manually in QuickTime Pro, but I'd love to know if there is a possibility to automate this task. I'm new to scripting, and its been very helpful with a lot of my day to day tasks, but I can't seem to figure this one out. Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks!

Hello
A QT file contains sound tracks and a sound track contains audio channels.
If you mean your QT file has 4 sound tracks each of which contains one audio channel marked as "Mono", you may try the following script. Please make sure you have complete backup of files in advance, for this script will overwrite the files.
Script is basically the same as the one posted in the following thread except for the channel_layouts_map definition.

Notes.
* You need to have QuickTime Player 7 Pro. QuickTime X Player is useless for this.
* You need to enable GUI scripting.

Audio Channel Mapping in Premiere Pro CS6

I am using Premiere Pro CS6 6.0.5. Double clicking on an imported 5.1 ac3 file in my bin brings up the 6 channels in waveform in Source panel. The channels are mapped L,R,Ls,Rs,C,LFE. This does not conform to Dolby Digital standard L,R,C,LFE,LS,RS. I have tried to set the channles this way in Audio Output Mapping in Preferences to no avail.
Question 1.-Is there a way to change the mapping to conform to Dolby Digital?
Question 2.- I use the Surcode plug-in. Will Surcode automatically map the channels properly upon export?
Thanks!

Hi DAC1x,
Have you tried to modify the audio channels from the project panel. If not, please try the steps and check if it helps
In the Project panel, select the clip or clips you want to map.
Select Clip > Modify > Audio Channels.
Under Track Format, click 5.1

Vinay

Audio track mapping problem

I am trying to set up my audio tracks so the left channel is on audio track 1 and the right channel is on track 2. I have tried, mono, stereo and adaptive tracks and they always put both channels on only one track. How do I change this?

Here are some other great tips -

Device query in Channel Mapping failed - no playback

Hello Forum!
I'm struggling to figure out why playback won't work in Audition. A dialogue box pops up at opening that says that "Audio Hardware preferences have changed". I check them and the default input and output are still set as Built-in Input and Output (which I usually use). However, under Audio Channel Mapping settings, Device Channels are "Unknown - device query failed". How do I get the device query to not fail?
Oh and playback works fine in all other programs and I'm running it on a Mac OS 10.10.2.
Thanks!

Sometimes if Audition loses contact with the requested audio device for some reason it may have difficulty reconnecting. You may need to kick start it to re-find the audio drivers by changing the Audio Hardware preferences in Audition. Close Audition, re-open and set audio hardware back to your norm. Even changing the Master Clock setting might get it going again.

Problem - Channel Mapping in Audition 5.5 CS

I am trying to find a way to map more than one input channel at a time using Adobe Audition 5.5 CS on a Mac Pro Quad Core system connected to a PreSonus Studio Live 16.0.2. When going into the channel mapping options it only allows for mapping one input for one channel at a time, if wanting to use another input, it has to remapped each time before recording. As it is, I can only record with only one mic or from only one audio feed at a time, which makes it impossible to record a multiperson show at the same time. On the other hand, the option to map output channels has 16 available. Seems completely backwards, would be better to multiple input mapping, and a single output channel to hear the mix.... Please help..

In an attempt for clarity, it the screen shot above, In the top box there are only two input selections 1[L] (Mono) and 2[R] File Channels, each one has the option of the 16 PreSonus FireStudio Device Channels from the drop down menu as illustrated here, when clicking on the little triangles or arrows on the right. If you notice that in the box below the Input box is the Output, It offers a multitude of of File Channels that allow you to assign all of the output channels at once and are able to use them simultaneously. As you can see I have 1 and 2 assigned to 15 and 16 sliders channels on the mixer and then on 3 and 4 to slider 3 & 4 on the mixer and so on.... This is what is not available in the input section because there are only two File Channels available to assign at one time limiting record on a single stereo mic or audio feed... I'm not sure how else to explain my problem. I would like to be able to use more than one slider on the mixer to record from at the same time.. in this situation it can only record from one slider input at one time...Thanks for all of your patience and input, I appreciate all of your reply's and have checked them all. But still have this problem...

My ipod's music quality is inferior. It doesnt have the surround sound/ left and right audio channel unlike my brothers ipod? is there a problem with the chip?

I have an ipod touch 4g (8GB), I got this about 2.5 months ago, the same time my brother get his. My problem is that I noticed that audio quality is better on his device than mine. I have been listening to music and had different music devices before (non-Apple product and mobile phone) and the quality of music is better when I used to listen to those devices as well as my brother's ipod touch. Im referring to the left and right audio channels. Im not so good about the technical stuff but the best explanation I can give you is in a music or a movie, there's an effect wherein you can here a sound only at the left ear phone/speaker that you cant hear at the right earphone/speaker. I mean for example in a song, a guitar intro can be heared only at the left
ear while the background music plays on the other ear. Or when theres and echo effect on the song that alternates sound on the left and right ear. I hope youre getting what Im trying to say. Im bothered that my ipod is fake or has an internal problem on the chips or something because I didnt bought this at an Apple Center/Mac Center. I bought it on a retailer. I am not able to visit any store or Genius Bar or contact an apple specialist through phone because of my work schedule and work load. I have contacted the retailer before when I tried to return it for replacement or repair but he told me that it is under Apple's warranty, not theirs. I do hope that I can get a help from you because I want to really enjoy my device. Thank you and Im looking forward for the responce/assistance form you.

I suggest you don't apply pressure to the screen - it's a Touch - you touch the screen not push it.

Map audio channels of items in sequence?

I'm fairly new to Premiere CS4 (FCP guy). I have rough cut a piece with interviews recorded on ch.1 and b-roll. I've used Fill Left which works, but I was hoping to use Map Audio Channels to avoid chasing filters all over the place.
I found that I could remap the channels of items that were not yet edited into a sequence, yet, when I opened clips that were edited into my sequence, the controls to change mapping were grayed out.
Is there a way to do this?

In this case, though, I don't see how remapping my audio would do anything but exactly what I want to do.
Well, the reason is that Premiere treats audio differently than FCP does. In FCP, every audio track in a sequence is a mono track, period. You have no other options. Even if you import or capture a stereo audio clip (let's say a CD audio track, for instance), the two channels of the source clip are mapped to mono tracks: the left channel would go to to A1, and the right channel would go to A2, for example. You can create "stereo pairs" in FCP by selecting two clips on adjacent tracks and pairing them (which I believe automatically applies stereo panning, ie. hard left and hard right), but at their base level they are still mono tracks.
Premiere is different, however, in that you can have mono tracks, stereo tracks, and 5.1 tracks in a sequence, or any combination thereof. As such, a source clip can only go to a matching track in a sequence; for example, a stereo source clip can only go into a stereo track in your sequence. This is where source channel mapping comes into play. You can instruct Premiere to treat the stereo audio track of a clip as two mono tracks, for example, with the end result being that those tracks WON'T go onto a stereo track in a sequence. They will ONLY go onto mono tracks (two of, to be exact) in a destination sequence.
So if you've already used a stereo clip in a sequence, it has to be on a stereo track. Premiere will then prevent you from remapping those audio channels because of the identity of the destination track in the sequence, meaning that remapping from stereo to two monos won't work once the clip is in use. If you remap the channels before using the clip, you're golden. Hope that helps; it's simply a matter of the differences in the way the two programs work.
Regarding titles: this is another case of the way two programs work. In FCP, titles are an effect, and so have no reference to any sort of "source," which is why you can copy and paste and change and the original stays the way it was. In Premiere, a title is a "synthetic" clip and therefore has a "source" so if you change the parent all of the children change as well. However, you can work around this by copying and pasting your title, double-click the copy to open the editor, and then click the "New Title Based on Current Title" button (looks like a film frame with a capital T in it). Name your new title and edit it. When you close the titler, you'll have a new title in your bin. Drag it from the bin and while holding the Alt key, drop it on the copy already in the timeline--this will replace the content of that clip instance in the timeline and maintain any effects or transitions you'd placed on the clip.

Mp3 audio channel problems in h.264 video file

I'm trying to encode an mp4/h.264 video file with an mp3 audio channel. I'm tried encoding it with both Adobe Media Encoder and ffmpeg (using libmp3lame). I'm streaming the video files using ffmpeg to stream the file through Red5 as a live stream. When the Flex AIR clients play the stream (using the Spark VideoDisplay component), I hear a frequent sort of chirping sounding audio artifact. I've also tried playing these files directly from my harddrive in a simple AIR app using NetStream and the Video component. When I try this I don't hear any audio at all. In both tests if I use an FLV (On2 VP6) file with an mp3 channel it sounds fine. Unfortunately I need to use h.264 video.
I've tried using AAC audio but am having a different issue with that: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4096536
Any ideas why I am seeing this audio artifact problem and how to resolve it?

Most h.264 should work.
Have you tried FILE/IMPORT MOVIE and then navigate to the h.264 file?
If that does not work, but the h.264 will play in QuickTIme PLayer, then you can get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (which is free). Drag the h.264 file into MPEG Streamclip. Then FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. Choose Apple Intermediate Codec for Compressions. You can use this file in iMovie by clicking FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.

CS3 audio channel problem when importing to CS5

I have an HD P2 file-based project which I edited on CS3 which I now need to open in CS5. The P2 footage does not import and I get the following message:
'The selected file cannot be linked because it has 1 audio channel(s) and the clip has 2 audio channel(s)'
I tried importing the project instead of opening it and I get the same message.
I have also tried to offline all the material and see if I can re-link them. Unfortunately I cannot re-link the bin footage as I renamed them all to something meaningful for organisational purposes (eg 'Bill_says_hello' ) as opposed to the rather random naming of P2 files (such as 000R4X.mxf) so I don't know what bin file links with what P2 file, and there are about 2000 of them!
So either there is a way to view the original names of the bin files so I can match them up, or better still, another easier way to retrieve them or open them up automatically.
Without a solution to this, I have just lost months of work so any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, Simon.
But finding to the first missing file brings up that message about the number of audio channels available which is still puzzling me, andthen making me link to them one by one. Not only is it tedious but I know it was stereo before and now it's mono !
I am sure when we recorded it our excellent sound guy would not made it mono so for some reason CS5 is not recognising the full gamut of sound channels recorded. So I am losing a lot of the sound, which is not good to say the least. I may have to start a new thread as to discover why.

How to separate audio channels?

Hi guys, I'm a new Premiere user coming from Avid and I have some confusion working with audio right now.
I filmed some interviews with a radio mic on channel one and channel two was recording from the onboard mic. In Premiere I want to bin the second channel and pan the first channel across left and right. The problem is I haven't got a clue how to do so! This was a doddle in Avid and I'm sure it's easy in Premiere.
Could someone give me a hand here?
cheers
Rich

"Took me all of 30 seconds to find the answer to your original question there. It even has it's own heading"
I did search. I promise! Just out of interest what did you search for? I clearly couldn't see the wood for the trees
Edit; Just so you know I wasn't being a complete muppet, I did watch the Adobe video "Mapping audio channels in Premiere Pro" which gave the impression there was no way of fixing the audio once it was on the timeline. It didn't mention the fill left/right effect.

Silent Audio Channels in Compressed Output Files ...

Has anyone experienced dead silent audio channels in exported MP3 or Podcast/AAC files?
This is included in the application release notes:
Exporting to Compressed Formats
" If you export to compressed formats (MP3 or AAC) using devices that do not use class-compliant Core Audio drivers built into Mac OS X on Intel-based Macintosh computers, the audio track of the exported file may be silent. To avoid this issue, use the Audio MIDI Setup utility to change your default output audio device to Built-in or to a device that uses the class-compliant Core Audio drivers before exporting files."
I'm on a Dual PPC G5, and my Motu interface is compliant. All exported compressed files [with or without video in AAC exports] have silent audio channels.
Any news on this?

All the pods are set to master. I've never set any sub-mix tracks in the
past, and, yes, these are set to zero (but I didn't do it). I set the submix
to 3 for each Stereo & Mono in project settings, default sequence.
Made no difference.
Original audio is standard from a Sony professional camera. Same
camera I've used on a number of occasions.
What baffles me is that I just don't understand the error message
language. In other words: what is it saying?

OK, the Master is Stereo, and you have 3 Mono Tracks, that should
mix-down to that Stereo Master, which will not be a problem.
Now, it appears that you have no Sub-mix Tracks. Is that correct?
Check to see what the Track Mapping is set to for each of those Mono
Tracks. They should be set to Master.
Having the Track Mapping set improperly could possibly result in this
type of issue, as DVD's can only have a limited number of Audio
streams and these are well-defined.
Maybe someone else will have more ideas for you.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - as a note, one cannot use ADL to Encore, if the Master is DD 5.1
SS, as that must go through the Minnetonka Audio SurCode DD 5.1 SS
encoder plug-in to get a DD 5.1 SS AC3. That does not seem to be
your case though.

Hearing only one audio channel in source window & in timeline

Hi all,
As most of you I get a lot of footage where the audio is split - left channel for gun-mic\\front-mic and right channel for neck mic.
A lot of times I want to preview only one audio channel in the source window.
I cant find a way to do it.
Also whan I try to hear\monitor only one channel when the clip is in the timeline - its a problem -
the only way I know is by using the fill Left\Fill right effect - it is good when I do the final mix
but sometimes I just want to hear one of the channels.
without the tidius way of adding an effect just to preview something and then deleting it.
I'm sure there a way to do this - right?
thanks!

Thank you very much for replying
Select the clip in the Project Window and duplicate.
Select duplicated clip > clip > Audio Options > Source Channel Mapping.
Disable one of the channel and hit OK
Place this clip on the timeline and ALT + double click so it will open in the Source Monitor.
This is a very messy and unconfterble way to work - because I need to toggle this every time I want to switch channels to monitor.
Instead of adding the effect fill left/right you can toggle the effect on and off for the whole track in the Audio mixer.
This is a nice solution when I work on the timeline - but it won't help when I go on the source footage.
I think the only way to switch channels for a quick preview in premiere is by buying a Sound card with a channel switcher - or using a mixer...
so dissapointing...
