2 mono and stereo

I have clips imported that say 2 mono and stereo. What is the difference? Why did some come in 2 mono and others stereo when they were all shot on same cam same settings? Interesting the 2 mono wave forms are to distinc channels which tells they too are stereo.
Thanks!

When you captured, are you certain you had the audio capture settings the same for all clips? You can set it for Stereo, Ch 1 + Ch 2, Ch 1, Ch 2 or a Mono Mix.
And just because the waveforms look different on a pair of mono tracks, it doesn't automatically mean they're stereo. It could be just two distinct mono tracks from two sources, even if they were recorded at the same time.
You can easily change two mono tracks into a stereo pair by highlighting the clip in the Timeline, then go to Modify>Stereo Pair (Option l).

  • Change between mono- and stereo-sound

    My question is if there is any way to change between mono and stereo sound on the ipod nano 3th generation...?
    Thanks for help!

    Are you not getting stereo? What are you listening with - maybe there's a plug problem...
    Does it sound like stereo from iTunes?

  • Random switching between mono and stereo sound on t400s

    i just found out one problem on my t400s, it randomly alters between mono and stereo sounds. any idea why that happens? i'm using win7 enterprise x64, with all the latest drivers installed (i.e. no beta drivers).

    Don't pm me for help! That's what the forum is for. Also, Google's nicer than me. Ask him.

    This issue seems to be similar to the "T410 Extremely Annoying Audio Issues" thread, have you tried potential solutions there? (Can't summarize it because I haven't read the thread.)

  • Difference Between Mono And Stereo ?

    I want to know whats the difference between mono and stereo when you create a new track ? I'm new here .. 

    Mono is for recording monophonic sources (one microphone). Stereo is for recording stereophonic sources (two microphones).

  • NEED HELP!!  outputs mono and stereo

    Im new to Logic but not pro audio. I have a Motu 896hd and It has 22 outputs. Logic will not show a selection for individual outputs in mono. Just Stereo Pairs 1-2 3-4 etc to 21- 22. I need to see all the Channels to route properly to outboard gear Please help. Looked in Manual Doesnt say much about output assignments

    [..] for individual outputs in mono. Just
    Stereo Pairs 1-2 3-4 etc to 21- 22. I need
    to
    see all the Channels to route properly [..]
    AFAIK you can't do that for the output, only for the
    input (try switching a channel in the environment to
    mono).
    But if you're just working with outboard gear, you
    might want to have a look at the I/O plugin under
    "Logic -> Helper". Using this plugin is more
    Logic-like than wasting the input or output tab for
    insert routing.

  • Audio - mono and stereo

    Hi, I captured the sound for my video using a single boom mic plugged in which recorded to one channel. On import, there are two audio channels and linked as stereo. One of these has no audio (no waveform), the other has the audio.
    In the current setting, when I playback, the audio comes from only one speaker - this is the one to which the channel with the audio is directed.
    So do I set the pan to 0 and have the audio sent to both speakers OR delete the empty audio track, duplicate the other one and then link as stereo?
    Whats the best way to do this?
    thanks

    So do I set the pan to 0 and have the audio sent to both speakers OR delete the empty audio track
    Both. Convert the clip to two mono channels (Option l [lowercase L]), then delete the empty channel. Next change the pan on the remaining clip to 0 (center).

  • Mono and stereo audio output

    I had to do a recovery on my HP Pavilion A6603w.  I set up my HP supplied RealTek HD Audio manager for a four speaker system, as before and did the Realtek tests which went fine.  It sounds great just as before the recovery when I am playing stereo music.  The odd thing is, when I am listening to something over the web which isn't stereo, or anything generated by the computer in mono, it now only comes out of the front speakers (located in the monitor) whereas before the recovery, even mono came out of all four speakers.  Is this really how the machine is supposed to work or is there a way to make mono audio come out of all four speakers? 
    Chris

    The key here is telling "Windows" that you are have a 5.1 speaker setup. If you are getting 5.1 sound from your DVD software player or games, etc... but Windows sounds are only coming from the front two speakers, then you have to Windows that you want to use 5.1. For the encorporated Realtek driver, you should be able to select the Speakers icon in Sound Properties and then click the configuration button to get to a Speaker setup screen.
    To get the Configure button to be active, the speakers icon has to be selected (in blue) - not just set to default.
    What you are talking about is the Realtek HD Sound Manager software. You should leave all the speaker selections checked on the left. But these settings are treated as separate and enable sound throughput at a lower (?) level. The Vista configuration setting simply tells Windows to send Windows Audio through 5.1 channels instead of stereo (default).

  • Are iPad and iPhone built in microphones mono or stereo?

    That's my question.

    He assumed that you were hoping the mic would be stereo. As I said, though, for most use cases, a mono mic is just fine (or even better). What use do you have in mind. The only situation in which a stereo mic would be better is if you're going to record a stage or room full of musicians playing. If you're recording voice memos, or even recording yourself playing a single instrument, a stereo mic is unnecessary.
    That said, we still haven't completely resolved whether the built-in mic is mono or stereo. The tech specs on apple.com don't specify, but I am 99.9% certain that it is mono.

  • Change Mixdown from Mono to Stereo

    I'm sorry if this has come up previously but I coudn't find anything that exactly related to my situation.
    First let me say I bought CS5.5 about two years ago and after trying it a few times, I found I did not like all the "missing functions like Group Tracks and the fact that it seemed to work slower than my old 1.5.
    Recently I decided to give it another try and be  patient. I had to assembe two VOs with SFX and various production music beds. When I was happy with the mix, I was ready to do a mixdown...only to discover that my mixdown was in Mono. Mono? I tried to find where to convert it to stereo. After searching help and then this forum, it appears that there is no way to choose Strero or Momo....except apparently only when initially naming the Multitrack session. SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!    Does this mean I have to start all over with a new session file and spend all that time again?   If this is so, WHY would they remove the option to mixdown in Mono OR Stereo which seem so common sense and was an option in previous Audition versions.  I never understood software developers who seem to want to take away functions that worked.
    Am I wrong? Is there any way to choose or change a mixdown in a session? I like choice. Choice is good.
    Cheers

    For clarity's sake, a stereo track with audio on one side is still a stereo track, not a mono track.  So you're not really changing mono to stereo, you're just routing the active channel to fill both left and right sides.  There are a number of ways to do that.  I like #3 myself.

  • Converted mono to stereo

    I converted a left channel recording from imovie hd to both channels using quicktime. Now the audio track is way to long even though the size is the same. Format: Linear PCM Channels: Mono Rate: 48 (the rate decreases the size but it doesn't matter). Any ideas how to keep the audio the same length.

    I can't reproduce the problem with "Save as..." again, so the tracks switched from mono to stereo somewhere between the time I recorded them and by the time I was done tweaking their EQ and compression settings. I don't know how to delete or edit my discussion question above, sorry!

  • Multitrack Mono to Stereo

    Hi,
    So I created an Audition project as mono (not knowing that was something I needed to change at creation) and have done all my editing in that project.  I want the music and effects in my project to be exported in sero but realized I cannot do so because the project is in mono.  I may be missing something, but Google hasn't given me anything useful; how can I convert my Master output to stereo?  I am using Audititon CS5.5
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    When exporting the 'multitrack mixdown' have you tried selecting "Change" for the 'Mixdown Options" and under 'Master' unticking 'mono' and ticking 'stereo' ?

  • Mono or stereo?

    I'm brand new to Logic, but I've been reading through the manuals for a month. I wanted to ask people about using stereo effects vs mono. Say I record vocals in mono, and would like to process them with a stereo reverb. Do I need to make that mono track into a stereo track first? I used to use the program, Audacity and If I wanted any plugin to sound decent, I had to duplicate tracks and make them one stereo track before processing. This might be a really wierd question, but feel free to help me if you understand. Thanks.

    You don´t have to do anything, most of the things depend on taste and style. It´s quite common to leave a vocal or instrumental track mono and send it to a Bus/Aux with a stereo effect (reverb/delay/chorus/sample delay/symphonic/phasing) or effect chain (many effects in a row) inserted. So you can eq and compress your signal leaving it mono and then send it to the stereo tracks. You could make some tests yourself by setting up a correlation meter in your stereo outputs and see, what stereo fx does to a mono signal.
    I sometimes record voice in stereo and mono with 2 condensor mics and a big membran mic in the middle. As the singer will always move a bit while singing you get a nice natural stereo feel and capture the room ambience without lossing the center. But mostly I record voices and instruments in mono on a big membran mic.
    Well, it´s a huge topic.....

  • Mono vs. stereo, answer to random resets?

    i read elsewhere on the forums that if you have mono recorded songs it causes you ipod to crash. this is the problem im currently having, where it crashes randomnly as its shuffling through songs.
    so how can i determine which songs are mono so i can get rid of them and see if this fixes my problem?

    Honestly, it doesn't matter whether the song is mono or stereo for whether it will play or not, just to how it sounds. Is it just certain songs or does it do it completely randomly? If it is certain songs, then you have to remove those songs and reformat them so they are in a proper format. If it isn't that particular ones, then you have a corrupt iPod Control file on your iPod and you'll have to do a reformat. If you don't want to lose all your music because you don't have proper backups of it, there are a few ways around it. But before I get into that, let me know what you discover about which songs it is.

  • HT4589 How do I change the audio to dual mono from stereo when using Share to DVD in Final Cut 10.1?

    How do I switch the audio to Dual Mono from Stereo when using Share in Final Cut Pro 10.1? Even though the audio is all in dual mono in the timeline, it lists it as stereo in the share box.

    Hi rationale1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The share to DVD settings in Final Cut Pro X use the Dolby Digital settings which are stereo for DVDs. So this can’t be done directly in Final Cut Pro X.
    The link below will explain the Dolby Digital parameters and options in Compressor 4.   You may need to research a different DVD authoring software to achieve your desired result.
    Dolby Digital - Compressor 4 User Manual
    http://help.apple.com/compressor/mac/4.1/#cpsrb71736a2
    Dolby Digital
    The built-in Dolby Digital settings (in the Create Blu-ray and Create DVD destinations, as well as the built-in AC-3 and EC-3 audio settings) use the Dolby Digital transcoding format. This format encodes Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby Digital Plus (EC-3) audio files that contain multiple audio channels, including 5.1 surround sound. You can also create custom settings that use the Dolby Digital transcoding format. 
    Note:  All files intended for video and audio DVD authoring must have a 48 kHz sample rate as required by the DVD specification.
    DVD Video: Choose this option if you’re encoding for use in a DVD video authoring application.
    DVD Audio: Choose this option if you’re encoding for use in a DVD audio authoring application.
    Tip:  For stereo encoding, rates of 192 kbps and 224 kbps are typical and will produce good results. For Dolby Digital 5.1 encoding, a rate of 384 kbps is recommended. For 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus encoding, a rate of 192 kbps is recommended.
    Cheers,
    Judy
