How to group Left and Right audio tracks from a .OMF file?

Hi, i'm editing the sound of my short film, i've sent a .OMF to audition from premiere, but the left and right tracks are seperate tracks in the multitrack session, how would i group them so whatever i do to one channel, will be done to the other

This is because the OMF specification requires mono audio files
It really depends on what you are trying to do with the two tracks as to the best answer as far as 'grouping'
You could select all the clips on both tracks and right mouse click and select 'group'
You could send both tracks to a bus
You could export the two tracks to a stereo file and bring that back into the session
Lots more things I'm sure but a little more detail as to what you are trying to do would help

How to split left and right sound signal from SI READ Stereo?

How to split left and right sound signal from SI READ Stereo?
I want to display the left and right sound signal in two graph separately,what shall I do?
That is how to split 2D arry to two 1D arry?

Hello,
Here's another trick...although the "Index Array" suggestion will work, you should investigate using the "Delete from Array" function...you can tell it to delete one of the columns (or rows), leaving one column (or row)...the function will output both the resulting array AND the deleted array, which happens to be the other row/column...this method might not be as intuitive, but it only makes one copy of data in memory, while the Index Array method makes two copies.
I hope this suggestion helps. I only found out about this trick with "Delete from Array" the other day.
Have a great weekend!

How to extract one of several audio tracks from a .vob file?

Hi guys,
hope you can help me, i'm looking for a solution for hours now but can't find one.
I would like to know how to extract one audio track from a .vob file when there are different tracks/languages on the dvd? Media encoder does it very well, but i can't find the option for choosing the right audio track/language for extraction. Please help
Kind regards
Alex

How to separate left and right audio channels?

I've imported some AVCHD footage that had audio recorded separately to each channel, left and right. When I put a clip in my timeline, I can separate the audio tracks, but I can't edit them individually. When I bring down the level to 0db on one track and play the clip, the audio meter still shows equal levels on both left and right channels. Any advice?
Second question - I transcoded some AVCHD footage to MP4 and can't figure out if the audio tracks remain separte after the transcoding. I used Free MTS M2TS Converter to do the transcoding. While I can choose 'dual mono" for an AVCHD clip, I do not have that same option for the MP4 clip. It offers me "6 mono" but not dual mono. Any advice?
My concern is that when I provide my clients with raw MP4 footage with right and left audio recorded separately, that they'll be able to edit each track individually.
Thanks!

Thanks Tom. I recorded 2-channel audio, not 5.1 surround. Six mono was only an option on the MP4 clip. I did change the channel configuration from stereo to dual mono on the AVCHD clip, but I still wasn't able to edit the audio independently. Even when I mute one track, the audio meter still shows equal left and right levels.

Premiere Elements 13 (not Pro), recorded a video with mono mic input (left channel only), need to create 2-channel (left and right) audio track for finished product. Help?

The question says it all. I have been all over the tutorials as well as the menus inside Premiere 13 and cannot find how to edit the audio track beyond basic balance, volume, etc.
I can see the Audio 1 track, shows audio in left channel only, but it will not respond to attempts to select, cut/copy, paste, etc.
Basically I just want to turn one-channel audio into two-channel audio.

Sure you do not want to give the Fill Left and Fill Right another try?
According to the Adobe document Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Effects reference
Fill Left, Fill Right
The Fill Left effect duplicates the left channel information of the audio clip and places it in the right channel, discarding the original clip’s right channel information. The Fill Right effect duplicates the right channel information and places it in the left channel, discarding the existing left channel information. For example, you might use this effect on footage shot with a monaural microphone plugged into only one channel of a camcorder, extending the voice of a speaker from one channel to both.
From what you wrote, your Premiere Pro video seems to be saying the same.
If that Premiere Elements Fill Left or Fill Right is no go, you might want to explore what you can do in this regard using the free audio editor Audacity.
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
And, then import the Audacity edited audio back into Premiere Elements project as source media.
Is the speaker system OK?
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks for the follow up.

How to move Left and Right audio components

At a performance, there was a delay between what my camera recorded from a soundboard on the left track and what it recorded from a shotgun mic on the right track.
I want to move each track (Right and Left) independent of each other using FCP 10.1.2
So far I have successfully changed the audio from Stereo to Dual Mono and I have Expanded Audio Components.
I am not able to move either track. No matter wether position or arrow is selected I looks like a range selection over the track and it will not move.
Any help would be greatly apreciated!

Yes, that screen shot of your Cam5 video and its right and left audio being staggered is exactly what Im trying to do. Im sorry I have not been able to describe this better.
It was the “Detach Audio” option that was giving the messy appearance.
This time I only made two adjustments done in the Timeline.
I followed these two steps:
1. I select the clip on the Timeline and chose “Expand audio components”
2. Then selected the video clip again and chose “Dual Mono”
Here is a screen shot of what it looks like now:
Just like before, I can manipulate the audio levels but when I attempt to drag either audio a box is drawn over the clip that looks like the “range select” tool. This happens when I have either arrow or position is selected. Nothing can be moved. I tried these two basic steps on my other computer using an older version of FCPX and get the same result.
The work around that I described above allowed me to finish this project by my deadline but this is still something I would like to learn since it’s a pretty basic function of FCP that I need to be able to do a lot.
Thank you Tom for your continued help and guidance.

Isolating left and right audio tracks

Hi Folks,
I recently recorded a musical performance on my Canon xh-a1s camera and used the on-board mic to record the room sound (left channel) and a patch directly from the mixer's desk to the right channel (by xlr cable).
I am hoping to be able to adjust the volumes of the two tracks so that I have more of the desk sound and just a little of the room mic.
I have tried adjusting the volumes of each but notice that as I adjust the volume on say the left channel, the right also moves with it.
Is there a way to individually move each of the two tracks?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Select the audio clip(s) on the timeline that you want to modify to dual mono by clicking on them. If you want to select multiple clips, hold the shift key down while clicking on the tracks.
Once you have them selected , go to the menu Modify > Stereo Pair and select it. It will toggle Stereo Pairing on the clip(s), and levels will be able to be adjusted independently.

How can I separate Left and right audio channels in labview 8.5 tia sal22

How can I separate Left and right audio channels in labview
8.5 tia sal22
Greetings All
I have a working Labview vi that converts a math formula to an
audio signal. I would like to have the
right and left audio channels playing different math audio signals is this
possible?
Example
Right channel -> plays the audio signal created by a math
formula
Left channel -> plays the audio signal created by another
math formula with adjustable phase control
I’ve included a VI with a working audio and math formula but
I’m not sure how to separate the left and right channels.
I’m using labview 8.5
I looked up a similar question on the
support board and it said” use an instance of the the Sound Output Write that
has a 1D waveform data type input (i.e. Sound Output Write (DBL)). Each
element in the array would correspond to a channel.”
But I’m not exactly sure what he meant. I’m using a formula to generate the wave file

Sorry it took so long to get back. Here's the new VI with it splitting out the left and right channels.
I'm using a Gigaport HD 8 output usb audio device but I'm experience clicks and pops. I increase the buffers
but I still get the clicks and pops. I know gigaport HD can use ASIO drivers which most likely would solve the problem but one needs to code in C for this which I'm not proficient in. Can someone recommend a work around to prevent this clicks and pops, can I somehow change my VI to fix this? Does anyone have a VI that will allow access to the ASIO latency properties?
I'm using labview 8.5
And a gigaport HD which is a USB audio device which outputs 8 analog signals (it is ASIO compatible)

How to separate left and right channel in audiotracks

I would like to adjust audio tracks left and right channels separetly from each other. Now the volume levels are linked together. Is there a way to separate them?
Other question is ; for some reason the pan slider in viewer does not seem to have left/right affect but kind of mono/stereo affect. It is supposed to be so, or do I have some audio preference button in wrong position?
Message was edited by: TRST

To answer to myself: Go to the User Manual and read the Chapter Audio Editing Basics from page 425.
Or click the clip in timeline which you want to change, and go to Modify---> uncheck the stereo pair option in there.

Left and right audio is cancelling out when I stream from macbook to apple TV2

When I stream from iTunes on my Macbook to my Apple TV the left and right audio sounds like it is cancelling each other out, meaning the lead vocal on songs is very low in the mix. Anyone know why this is happening?

Well there is something definitely wrong. If track is panned to left channel and the output virtual LEDs show left channel only then it has to be a problem somewhere else. Are you using a digital interface or the 1/8" audio out to mixer, headphone.

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.

Hello jacquemac,
Your first question:
There might be a better way of achieving what you wish to do, but following these steps could help you out.
You might want to blend in Thumbnails and Invisibles either with (cmd+shift+i and cmd+alt+p) or over the View section in the Menubar.
1. go for Documents (right end of the Toolbar) -> Section
2. place your cursor at the very top of your second page and click "Create new Section->Starting with this page" in the side bar on your right.
(what you are actually doing next is setting the pagenumbers for each section you created. You can see your sections in the Thumbnail view.)
3. click on your first page (the first and only page of your first section) and mark the checkbox "Hide on first page of section"
4. click on your second page (the first page of your second section) and "Insert page number" -> start at 1
Your second question:
Im not quite sure i understand what exactly you want to do here. One page, two columns, each column with another page number? As far as i know this is not possible.
greetings jl

HT4108 What is required to use the video composite out on the iPhone 4. Left and right audio works ok

What is required to use the video composite out on the iPhone 4 The left and right audio works ok

Please not that the iPhone uses mono channel for internal speakers, the other path that you see is not the speaker per say. It is the phone microphone. Try using headphones, you will hear both channels. If the problem still persists when using headphones, check your sound balancing in the settings. Go to setting-general-accessibility scroll down and check the slide under mono audio. It should be put at the centre for you to hear both channels ON YOUR HEADPHONES

Left and right audio in VCD

The VCD dramas that i bought consist of left and right audio that are of different language. Is there any program that i can use to convert the whole movie into mp4 movie with just one language ?
thanks

Select the clip in the timeline and open the audio tab in the inspector. Under the audio configuration label click the drop down arrow at the right and change stereo to dual mono. Go back to the timeline and right click the clip and select expand audio components. You can them change the volume of the two audios independently. After adjustment right click the clip again and choose collapse audio components.

2nd Audio track from merged .m4v files does not play on iPod Touch

I used Handbrake to encode two .m4v files of a concert DVD that spans two DVDs. I then took those two files and combined them into Quicktime Pro to create a single .m4v file. The file plays fine in QT but when I transfer the file to my ipod, only the first audio track (from the first file) plays. Once the video from the second file plays, the audio is silent. Here's what the movie properties look like:
Enabled Name Start Time Duration Format
====================================================
Y Video Track -- 0:00:00:00 -- 2:21:53:90 -- H.264
Y Audio Track1 -- 0:00:00:00 -- 2:21:53:90 -- AAC
Y Audio Track2 -- 1:27:28:87 -- 0:54:24:02 -- AAC
N Text Track -- 0:00:00:00 -- 2:21:53:90 -- Text
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan

So basically, anytime I combine more than one mp4 file in QT7 Pro, it will always create multiple audio tracks when doing a simple "save as" (vs. export as)
Not exactly. QT has it own set of rules. As you noted, the video track had no problem merging into a single track. This would not have happened if you had merged video compressed differently or added an image/stretched image sequence. Not knowing your specific work flow or settings, I hesitate to make any claims here. Frankly, when merging audio, I normally prefer to use GarageBand when I want to create a single master audio track and still retain control of the other tracks for mixing purposes. However, I could just as well have exported the audio in the original file using QT Pro to a single audio file and used that audio track to replace both original tracks keeping both the original video and chapter tracks. It is all a matter of which work flow you consider easiest for a particular job or project.
If I've exported out my chapter file as a plain text file, how do I go about reintegrating that withing the final mp4 file using QT?
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/chaptertracks.html
The above link is a somewhat old tutorial explaining how to create a chapter text track from scratch. Since you already have the chapter track, just refer to the steps indicating how to add the text file back to your main movie file. (Ignore the step that says to set a "Preload" option as this pop-up has been removed.)
