Can't access a stereo audio layer

Hey. I opened a Premiere Pro project I'd been working on a few weeks ago. The project has one video track and several audio tracks, one of which (track 1) in in stereo.
All of the audio tracks play when I run the project, but I can't access the first audio track with most of of the editing tools (like the razor tool, rolling edit, ripple edit). Further the right click menu does not work for any clips on this audio layer. All the tools and right click menu work fine for rest of my audio layers.
Doesn't seem to matter if Sycnh is on or off; layer is unlocked. Any idea why I can't get full access to this stereo audio layer and how to fix?

Can you post a screen-cap of your Timeline, showing that Audio Track in detail?
Might be something there.
Good luck,
Hunt

In which steps of Logic E. can I make a stereo audio recording track with a right and left microphone?

I want to make a stereo recording with a microphone for left and one for right. Can someone tell me the Logic steps to record 2 tracks (mono left and
mono right?) at once, to make a stereo track from both tracks? I use Logic Express 7.

I think it is easy if you have an audio interface that has two mic imputs. You direct each of them to two different mono audio tracks. Then, at the time if playing it, you just pan one channel to the left and the other to the right.
I think this is what you are asking for,
hope it helps

Hearing just Music from the Itunes Videos. Can you access just the audio?

Have a 40 Gb Color Ipod and have loaded some videos on my Imac....just wondering if there is a way to hear the music part from the videos. For that matter if it can be loaded on the color display Ipod. I'm not concerned about watching the video...but would like to be able to hear the music....even just burn a CD to hear the music only.
Any help would be appreciated

Bill,
Anything you buy from the iTunes Music Store has digital rights management built in. Basically you would have to use a 3rd party program to extract the audio portion, and Apple get very touchy about posts that discuss messing with purchased music/videos.
The last couple were removed by the Mods. Just so you know. : )

Can't get a stereo audio track?

I have an alesis 16 channel firewire and when I select channel 9-10 in the preferences I still only get a mono track...any ideas?

I tried that, but I keep getting "Unsupported Clip" in the channel configuration audio tab of the Inspector.
Here's my workflow:
Import Flip cam's h.264/AAC MP4 files
Edit a clip into a project.
Break apart the clip, to give separate video and audio segments
The green audio segment (will have -a1 after the name in the segment) will be say it's an "Unsupported Clip" in the channel configuration audio tab of the Inspector.
If I change the original clip to dual mono before I break apart I get two mono clips, which is what I was after (but then I could just disable one of the dual mono tracks without splitting apart if that was all I wanted).
I suggest that getting an "Unsupported Clip" when I break apart these clips is a bug.

Premiere Pro Can Capture Only One Stereo Pair?

I'm thinking of getting PPro CS 5.5, so I'm reading the Help file to learn about it first and I came across this listed under "Importing Digital Audio":
1) "Although the DV format can record two independent stereo audio pairs, Premiere Pro can capture only one stereo pair.
It may be possible to select either stereo pair 1, stereo pair 2, or a mix of both, depending on the DV hardware you use."
Does this mean if I have 2 mic's connected to my camera, PPro can only capture 1 stereo pair or the other or a "mix" of both? What does that mean?
Would I be able to edit both stereo pairs as separate tracks on the timeline?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Harm,
The specs on the Canon HV20 say DV can do 2 channels in 16 bit mode and 4 channels in 12 bit mode.
But I want to start using HDV, which can only do 2 channels in 16 bit mode. HDV uses MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2, 16 bit, 48 kHz, transfer rate 384 kbps (2 channels).
The DV settings are PCM digital sound with 2 modes: 16 bit, 48 kHz/2 channels and in 12 bit mode is 32 kHz/4 channels.
Is a "stereo pair" 2 channels?

Design flaw in 'Play stereo audio as mono' of Universal Access Hearing-tab

The option to 'play stereo audio as mono' that comes with OSX 10.6 does not work as I expected.
When I enable this option it sounds like only one of the two channels becomes mono, while the other one does not sound mono to me.
It's hard to notice this, because the total sound does change to 'less' stereo.
I've done some testing with different soundcards and testing signals, and found out that when the option is enabled, the mono signals are routed incorrect.
While the right channel becomes mono, the left channel seems to be something else; I'm not sure if it's the original left channel of the stereo signal, though.
I have reason to believe that the resulting mono sound on the right channel correctly is the 'monofied original sound', but that from the left channel.
The resulting mono sound on the left channel sounds like the original left channel of the stereo sound, maybe added with the mono sound of the right channel.
Why do I think so? When using a sound card with more than two outputs, I can clearly see that sound is being sent to the second and the THIRD output, instead of the first and the second output, immediately after I enable mono. Resulting in output on THREE channels:
original left
monofied (left)
monofied (right)
On my soundcard I can disable the extra outputs, and than I hear:
original left + maybe monofied right
monofied (left)
I think the programmer of this great feature made an 'off-by-one error', consequently sending the monified output to the wrong channels;
to channel[1] + channel[2] instead of channel[0] + channel[1]
I don't know what happens to sound that is sent to channel[2] (the third channel) on a two channel soundcard.
It could be mapped to the the first channel, but that of course is speculation. Could be tested though, with the right audio signal.
I hope someone can confirm this. If more people experience this problem, maybe Apple can fix this so I can enjoy listening in mono.
I have tested this on the internal soundcard and three external firewire audio interfaces, of which 2 have 8+ output channels.
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick-and-dirty test.
Your findings are not a surprise to me.
It would be more interesting though to not use one's ears for proof.
Also, I have reason to believe that this result is valid for any two channel audio interface.
With the test below I can proof that audio is sent to three channels instead of just two, when enabling "Play stereo audio as mono" on an(y) audio interface with more than two outputs (enabled).
The test takes a little longer than the quick-and-dirty test.
If you don't have an audio interface with more than two channels of output, you can still perform the test by installing Soundflower first.
Soundflower is a virtual audio interface with multiple inputs and outputs, and can be used as an audio router or audio patchbay.
Get Soundflower from http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/ - it's free.
Here's the test …
Open System Preferences, choose the Sound prefpane and select the Output-tab
Select any audio interface with more than two channels of audio outputs as your sound output device ( Or use "Soundflower (16ch)" )
Keep the System Preferences open
Start Garageband
Create a new project
From Preferences select for Audio Input your interface-with-more-than-two-channels-of-audio ( Or use "Soundflower (16ch)" )
( selecting an Audio Output is not necessary, because we're not actually going to use our ears for proof )
Enable multitrack recording from the menu (Track / Enable multitrack recording )
Create four tracks as "Real instrument"; each one with an increasing Input Source: Mono 1, Mono 2, Mono 3, Mono 4
( the last one is just for verification )
Enable recording on these four tracks (if you can't select more than one, try enabling multitrack recording)
Open System Preferences, choose Universal Access (probably click 'Show All' first) and select the Hearing-tab
Make sure audio is played in stereo (unchecking the checkbox)
Keep the System Preferences open
Switch to the Finder or iTunes
Playback any song
Switch back to Garageband and check the meters on the individual tracks
( remember this is stereo, notice the number of channels with signal )
Switch back to System Preferences to enable mono (on the Universal Access prefpane)
Switch back to Garageband and check the meters on the individual tracks ( this is mono ! )
End of test ...
You will see that in mono a third audio channel is addressed, while there should have been only two in both mono and stereo.
The signal strength of channels 2 + 3 seem equal, and channel 1 looks much louder.
This difference in signal strength is very noticable when listening to channels 1 and 2 on separate speakers or headphone.
What is that playing on channel 3?
I must admit (against my original post) that this test does not proof that the signal on channel 1 is or is not mono or anything else; that requires another test.
One can of course record these channels and do some comparisons and subtractions or some other clever tricks.
Hope anyone can second this, preferably with an actual audio interface like Apogee Ensemble, Motu, RME, Presonus, Focusrite, etc.

I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, the cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler. I get the message "nothing to display"

I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, then cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder ad multiple song files. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler. I get the message "nothing to display" or "no region or audio file selected" After much research on the web, I believe this is a permanent bug. Does anyone have a good work-around for this type of work. We record live 16T band rehearsals constantly and would love to be able to break individual songs out of the large file and be able to use the sampler. Thanks in advance for your ideas! Cheers.

Another thing - if I copy one of the tracks to another track, then the sample editor works on the copied track. I don't want to have to copy 16 tracks to new tracks to be able to use the sample editor on a project. Thanks again.

How can I input stereo audio to a iMac late 2012?

I can't wee where I can input stereo audio to my iMac (lat 2012) so that I can save the digitized audio to the music library.

I have one of these (iMic)... Sometimes I need to get a song off of a cassette and this does the job.

If I copy a CD (either music or audio) on my Windows based Pc can I access the copy using itunes?

If i copy a Cd (either music or audio) on my Windows based PC can I access the copy using itunes. I have a ipod Nano, 7th generation.

You should use iTunes to "rip" (encode) the songs directly into your iTunes library from the CDs. This article provides a good description of how that is done using iTunes.
http://www.macworld.com/article/1156861/howto_rip_cds.html
If you use some other program to encode the content on those CDs, you can add any audio files that are in a format that iTunes can play (such as MP3 and AAC) to your iTunes library. "Windows Media" files are not playable by iTunes, but the Windows version of iTunes can convert them while importing (as long as the files do not use DRM).

Can I edit footage recorded in 1080p24 with 5.1ch surround audio using Premiere Elements 12? I'm only seeing stereo audio...

Hi all,
Quick one - I've recorded footage using a Sony HDR-PJ810 in 1080p24 with 5.1ch surround audio (currently experimenting with different frame rates, resolutions and audio). If I import this into a 1080p24 preset in Premiere Elements 12 then I see only stereo audio with no obvious way to add a 5.1 channel.
If I import this into a 5.1ch surround preset (like 1080i 30 5.1) then I can see the audio across 6 channels but it's obviously having to unevenly spread 24 frames across 30 spaces in order to match the frame rates (skipping some of the slots which I suspect will cause playback artifacts).
Is there any way to get a 5.1ch surround audio track within a 1080p24 project? (I don't see it as a preset). Thanks!

OraAmator
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
The answer is to create a 1080p24 5.1 Channel project preset.
Please see my work on the approach to doing this and related information. If necessary, I will write instructions specific to 1080p24 5.1 channel

Can't access trim tool on an audio track

Weird problem:
Can't access trim tool on Audio Track 1 in a sequence. I must have done something but I don't know what. Trim tool is working on video tracks and other audio tracks in same sequence, and on Audio Track 1 on other sequences. Any ideas?
thanks

Hi Laurie,
Does this happen on a new sequence as well? Do you have a screenshot?
Thanks,

X-fi Xtreme Audio - Can't access/install mode switcher

I've been trying to access the touted 'Audio Creation Mode' for its bit-matched playback and sound quality, however I don't have any of the fancy creative driver programs - instead I have a standard Windows 7 menu, with 8 tabs. (I'll try to get screens if it comes to it).
I double checked my drivers, I am on V .04.0090, however upon attempting to install 'Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Pack .04.0079' , I recieve the error 'Driver Version is not found', preventing me from installing the mode switcher and audio console...
Stumped on how to fix this,? thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

Well thanks, but in that case I'm confused by why the post the audio pack alongside the Xtreme Audio in the download section... surely it was meant to be compatible if placed there?

How do I import AVI video with stereo audio (and keep it that way)?

Today I just discovered that all the AVI video with stereo audio I've ever imported into a Premiere Pro CS6 project has been mysteriously converted to mono. And I can't find any import setting anywhere that enable me to change this.
Here's the deal...
I've have an AVI file with stereo audio (the file is actually a stereo sound test that I downloaded to prove that I wasn't imagining things). On my hard drive, I right-click and view the properties:
Video
Length: 00:00:36
Frame width: 320
Frame height: 240
Frame rate: 25 frames/second
Audio
Bit rate: 128kbps
Channels: 2 (stereo)
Audio sample rate: 44 kHz
I click on it to play and listen with headphones--everything is playing in the correct part of the stereo spectrum. Then, I import it to Premiere, click the file name in the left content menu, and check the properties, suddenly they read:
Type: AVI Movie
File Size: 1.1 MB
Image Size: 320 x 240
Frame Rate: 25.00
Source Audio Format: 11025 Hz - 16 bit - Mono
Project Audio Format: 11025 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Mono
Total Duration: 00:00:36:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Sure enough, I drag it into the sequence, listen to it, and it's indeed playing mono. Outside of Premiere, the original source file still reads and plays correctly with stereo sound.
When I import stereo WAVs and MP3s, it keeps the original stereo channels without me having to do anything special. I even just imported the same exact file as a MOV with stereo audio, and it showed up in Premiere as:
Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
What is going on here with AVIs? Am I doing something wrong? Are there settings I'm missing somewhere?
(And before anyone suggests I only use MOV in the future... that's not exactly the answer I'm looking for.)

Thank you for that info.
For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
There are two issues with that file:
The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
Good luck,
Hunt
