Audio - left channel only

I have 1 Audio Channel. It is panned to the center '0', but is still only coming through the left speaker. How do I balance it to come out of both speakers?
Thanks.

if your audio track is panned to center, then the problem is with the speakers or the speaker jack on the computer. You can look in the system preferences for the computer and make sure the balance isn't set to one side or the other. But you already did the only think you can do in FCP to have audio come out of both speakers. Check an iTunes song, or some other audio, and see if THAT comes out of both speakers.

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?

Stereo audio in left channel only.

Hi,
I have a strange problem with one of my projects.
I have created a large number of "talking head" videos/projects. I export them to FLV using one of PREs default settings. For just one of these projects I get audio in the left channel only. All other clips are OK.
When I play the clips on the timeline the audio is perfect in both channels. So somewhere in the rendering/output process I loose the right channel.
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance.

Hi and thanks for all input.
Yes I use a mono mic, but the camera puts the sound on both channels.
When I play the timeline I hear the voice in both channels.
The timeline audio track shows waveforms on both channels.
Here is a pic of the timeline:
The project is corrupt somehow. I just tried creating a new project with the same video files and made a short flv out of it and it comes out OK.
I will try to redo this one which leads me to another question which I will post in another thread if not already answered.
Thanks for your input.

Stereo audio plays back left channel only - premiere pro CC2014

Dear All,
I recently upgraded to premiere pro CC and find that (just like sometimes in CS6) when i place an audio track (or clip with audio) to the timeline it plays back LEFT channel only. When I move the same clip to another (existing or newly created) sequence it becomes two channel stereo and plays back OK.
The question is, since i created sequences with the very same audio settings, what might cause this issue.
(fill right with left channel does not work because it IS a stereo track i suspect sg is wrong with my sequence settings- but i cannot figure out what exactly.)
I hope it's not a bug and it is just me doing sg wrong. all input is highly appreciated! THX in advance!
Misi

I know i just happened to be mid-project when trial period ended...
Still looking for the why's though, since I asked around and there ARE some people who expőerience similar issues!
Thanks in advance (Ann, too)

Audio output from left channel only

My iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1.1) suddenly developed a problem with audio output last week after about 9 months of ownership. Through the headphone socket and Bluetooth streaming, only the left channel could be heard. I arranged an appointment at the Apple store and they confirmed after they carried out a restore (iOS 8.1.1) that there was only audio from the left channel. The phone was replaced under warranty.
My new phone was partially set-up in store and all I had to do was load my backup when I got home. I loaded the backup from my Mac and tested the audio output. To my surprise, the new phone had exactly the same problem as the one that was diagnosed as faulty in the Apple store i.e., audio output on the left channel only. I contacted Apple support via chat and explained the issue. I was advised to test the new phone without my backup being loaded. I restored the phone and tested the output using both Bluetooth and the headphone socket and there was a stereo output as normal. I reloaded my backup and it returned to left channel audio only. I was advised to then reset the phone and this cleared the problem. Corrupt backup data??
What I can’t understand is that two phones exhibit an identical problem, with one being a hardware issue and the other apparently a software issue. Too much of a coincidence if you ask me.
Is it possible that an app could cause a problem leading to a hardware failure?

Route audio left channel to mono master

Our videographer records all audio to the left channel only, which leaves the right channel empty. Is there any way to route only the left channel to both the left and right master, or to route only the left channel to a mono output?

If I change audio levels in AE CS6 from 0db, it decides to output left channel only.

This is a bug that's been prevalent in every iteration of AE CS6. I'm updated to the most recent version. This is also something I've seen around a lot of forums, but nobody has an answer.
If I change the audio levels on any audio track from the default 0db, the RAM preview only plays back the left channel which completely breaks the way I can properly work.
If I render it out, the audio is fine... it's clearly only on RAM previews. But rendering out things to check audio levels is not a solution.
Any idea why this happens?

CC 2014: all mono clips on left channel only

After updating Premiere Pro today (CC 2014) every mono audio clip is interpreted as stereo, with the right channel switched off – so every mono signal plays only on the left channel (panning o,o). When I select the mono clips and go to "Audio Channels", there is a second "Source Channel", switched to "None". If I switch this second channel to "Channel 1" (right), the problem is solved, but I'd had to do this for every mono clip in my project!
I checked the mono clips, and they show up with "Mono" in the meta data, and the source monitor shows a mono waveform, so that's not the problem.
Stereo files are playing stereo, no issues so far.
What's going on here?

Another good method that does the same trick without a filter is... After importing your file and before dropping it down on your timeline, right click on the clip go to Modify>Audio Channels. Select mono 2 channels and it does the same thing as the filter would. I use both methods a lot because of the way I shoot with a PWM Ex3. Have a good day man!

Record audio Left channel mono playback

I'm new to Captivate and setting up a microphone for recording audio. Recording equipment is a single microphone into an E-Mu 0404 USB interface. The interface has 2 mic inputs. The mic is plugged into the left channel. Sound is recorded fine, but only plays back on the left channel. How can I get the single channel treated as mono so playback is on both ears?
Thanks

Hi there
Assuming you can do so, perhaps consider a Y connector that makes the mic feed into both channels.
Also, report this to Adobe as I've seen many posts here regarding stereo and only hearing one channel.

Audio Left Channel is absent in app-specific instance

Hi, All:
I was just advised that this topic belongs here in the MSDN forums, so moved the topic from the Community. I am not sure that this particular forum is the correct one. If not, please advise where to put this question.
Here is my original question:
I have created an application (in Delphi) which uses audio output, but recently discovered that the left channel is missing. There is nothing in my program that would do this.
To further test this application, I did the following:
1. Used the Windows PlaySound command to output a simple WAV file. I moved this line to the top most part of the program before anything else was created or intialized.
2. This wav plays immediately on launching the program, but as with the rest of the program (which using SAPI, text2speech), the left audio channel is absent.
3. If I move the program (profviewer.exe) to another location than where the application is installed, the left channel returns.
4. If I change the name of the program to e.g. "test.exe" the left channel returns.
5. On my Win7 systems, if I changed the name from "profviewer.exe" to "test.exe" then ran the application to the initial password dialog then cancelled, then rechanged the name from "test.exe" back to "profviewer.exe"
I discovered that this audio channel anomaly was corrected.
6. On my Win8.1 system, changing the name of the app as in #5 did not fix the audio channel problem.
My guess is that there is some application specific registry setting that controls this. Could you tell me where to look for this so I can fix those systems with Win8.1? Or failing that is there some other work around that I could apply to get the
left channel audio back?
Thank you,
Chuck Belanger

Hi, Matthew:
Here is the output of Meters.exe from a user with Win8.1 and who has no left audio channel in the program (Profviewer.exe). Hope this helps to fix this head scratching issue.

How to delete the left channel only in the audio track

Hello All,
I have put some video in the timeline that was recorded with a camcorder that only had mono sound. What I want to do is delete the audio track that has no sound, duplicate the audio track that has sound so that there are two audio tracks.
Now I've tried several different ways to do this, but it seems that FCE will only let me delete both audio tracks. How do I just delete one audio track and leave the other one intact?
Thanks for your help.
Mike

Select the audio. Then select Modify>Stereo Pair. You can then select the empty track to delete it. Then double click the remaining track to load it into the Viewer and set the Pan control in the Viewer window to 0.

Left Channel Audio - Losing It

Hey everyone -
I just finished a video for my office in iMovie HD - when I was producing the piece through outboard speaker the audio was fine (left channel only) now that I'm checking through my internal speakers (iMac) I am losing the left channel all together.
The video was recorded on a Canon XH A1 with a mic in the left XLR input only, how can I export to Quicktime without losing that left channel - it is there but very faint.
I do have Logic Studio - would that help?
Thanks to all!

Static in Left Channel of Master (no clipping)

I have recently begun to experience static in the Left Channel of GB's master output. I am not clipping (nor am I close). I have been using DLSMusicDevice to play various general midi instruments and I get a sort of revereberating echo out of the left channel only when I play the midi instruments back. Audio that I've recorded via a MOTU Ultralite does not produce this problem. I have tried switching between a large and small playback buffer as well as toggled echo and reverb on the master track. Any ideas on how I could get rid of this?

Have you checked the volume and balance sliders in
the output sections of "Sound" System Preference and
Audio MIDI Setup Utility (Utilities folder)?
Thanks. The balance slider was skewed way right. (Volume took care of itself on a later restart).
Before I mark this as solved, can anyone tell me why the software would have decided to set the balance all the way to the right on its own? One minute it was working, I mute it to take a phone call, and then when I turn it back on only the right speaker was running.

Copy right channel to left channel ??

hello,
my name is johan de visser from holland and i'm currently working on a restauration session. i have to transfer a couple of songs from old school tape cassete to cd. the tapes are more than 15 years old and at least not used for 10 years or more.
after transfer i do the 'digital remastered' thing.
there's one song where the left channel dropped out for 2 seconds. i got the idea to copy the right channel to the left, but really don't know how to do this in logic ???
anybody ??
greetings and many thanks, johan

Welcome Johan,
there are several opportunities to achieve this, here are two to begin with :
You could use the panorama automation for the specific part, so for the time of the drop out you'd have a left-channel-only, but-mono - part.
You could also copy the whole track to another audio channel, isolate the drop-out part, and adjust the output, volume and panorama of that copied channel to your liking.
(Maybe it's a good idea to also have a mono listening session after you've repaired the specific passage, as sometimes there can be nasty phase anormalies.)
Good luck !

Imported files with stereo, output comes in one channel only

While being no expert in Encore or the jungle of transcoding settings, I still dare to ask.
I have imported a number of AVI files (exported with stereo sound from Ppro) into Encore 2.0. I have not touched any sound settings, but still my output (both in preview mode and the final DVD) produces sound only in the left channel. Baffeled as I am over this, I struggle to find some sensible explanation to the problem.
Any feedback would be appreciated as the project hopefully goes into production soon.
Brgds,
Geir Waaler

Ummm my apologies if I missed it, but Ive read through this thread and Im not sure if theres an answer to the original question. Ive got a similar situation, AVI out of PP3 with all sources stereo, the AVI sounds great in media player and is definitely stereo. Bring the AVI into Encore 2 and the resulting DVD is double mono using the left channel only heres the strange thing, I get the same results using Nero Vision Express. I am 100% sure the AVI is stereo, it includes clips from an old Beatles song where the old school stereo imaging put all of the vocals into the left channel and the instrumentals into the right, well, the instrumentals are gone on the DVD and Ive got nothing but vocals. Again, the AVI sounds fine, just for kicks I even burned the raw AVI to DVD and popped the disk into a set-top player and it played fine something is wrong with the transcoding and its a problem for both Encore and Nero. Any know whats up? Are we calling it a bug? Seems kind of serious if it is, the kind of bug that should keep a product from launching.
