Capturing only left channel of audio

Probably not a great combination using Premiere Pro cs3 for about the 3rd or 4th time (after years of 6.5) and using the church's sony camera that I am unfamiliar with - but here goes:
When I play the video back on the camera, the sound is in stereo, however when I capture it, it only plays back and captures the left channel. I didn't have this issue with my own camera, so it may be a camera issue. I can't figure out/find the model of the camera, but it is a Sony HDV running in DV mode. The sound was recorded in 48K stereo. Any thoughts/help is appreciated.

OK.
Start a new Premiere project and use that to test capture again.

Arcam rDac plays only left channel. OSX is 10.7.4 and iTunes 10.6.1. Have somebody similar problem ?

I have usb audio dac Arcam rDac and Mac mini 2011. Everythings was working without problem, but propably after upgrade OSX on 10.7.4 and iTunes 10.6.1 Arcam plays only left channel. Have somebody similar problem and sollution ? Thank you very much for your help.

Did you solve your problem?
I have the same rDAC and Macbook pro. And I have sound in both channels, but I have popping and crackling distorted sounds at low frequencies, in left channel. Very very annoying. I have looked at every forum, and it seems like Mac has this problem very often, and there is no viable solution so far.
Like many others, I too am very disappointed with this very expensive computer I bought only 4 months ago.

My MacBook Air headphone jack only left channel works

Builtin speakers are working fine on my MBA 2012, but when I plug any kind of headphone into the jack, only left channel works. If I tune output balance to right, then sound nothing.
I found there are only four metal contacts in the jack, two on each side, then one for ground, the other one for left channel, none for right channel, what about yours?

At last, found it isn't a problem, actually any 3.5mm headphone of standard can work, just plug into the jack fully ( only one mm left ) . enjoy ~~

Why does my nested sequence have only one channel of audio?

Hi,
Working in Prem Pro CC on my Mac Pro.
I have a number of interviews, each shot with 3 cameras and with audio from a separate audio recorder. The audio has two channels, Ch1 has the boom mic and Ch2 a radio mic.
I created a sequence, placed the audio into channels 1 & 2 (they are linked) before placing the video tracks onto timeline tracks 1-3. Everything's synced nicely and so I nested the shots and then I enabled multicam on the nested sequence.
However, now when I edit the nested sequence into my edit sequence, it has only one channel of audio. I tried Modify>Audio Channels but within that page, in the option to select 'Source Channels' the options are "None" and "Channel 1".
How do I get my nested sequence to place both audio channels into my edit sequence?
Any help much appreciated.

Nevermind folks, I figured it out. I had my render control settings set to Apple Pro Res on some timelines.

Imported DV plays only left channel audio

In working with iMovie HD 6, I've imported video from my DV camera and I'm only getting sound from the left channel (I used a lapel mic plugged into the camera while I was recording). Is there a way to mix the left channel audio into stereo, or at least two channel mono so that my movie and subsequent DVD project will play sound in both channels? I'd prefer to run the fix within iMovie, but will consider exporting if necessary. I can't recreate the original interview without a lot of work.

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Yep, you can do it in GarageBand, just setting it to move the mono channel into both channels.
Or you could use the free, downloadable "Audacity", and just select the left channel, then copy it, and paste it into the empty right channel, like this.
However, to use the wonderful "Audacity", you've got to find your original audio in iMovie, then remove it from within its hidden storage, whereas GarageBand just "knows" where to find the audio if you send your movie there, so click on Share and then GarageBand, where you can select the Movie Sound track, and just turn the little 'panning' control, in the Mixer column, to the centre.

Exports for DVD only include left channel of audio! Help!!!

Hi, I just realized that the files that I have been exporting using compressor have been only exporting the left channel. I am not sure what the problem is and would appreciate any help anyone could give me, as I'm on a big deadline and need to solve this ASAP.
The way I've been doing it, is I right click on the sequence name in Final Cut Pro and select Export > Export Using Compressor. Then I selected the DVD Best Quality 90 Minutes option. The AIFF file that is created seems to only have audio in the left channel. The original files themselves are definitely stereo, and play both channels in Final Cut.
I really don't understand. The Inspector within Compressor shows this information for the AIFF file:
File Extension: aiff
Estimated file size: unknown
Audio Encoder: 16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
It says Stereo, so I don't know what the problem is! Please help!!!

In the Sequence Settings, I see this:
Downmix: 0
Grouping: Stereo
I also checked the Audio Mixer window and nothing seems to be muted or solo'd. A1 is panned all the way to the left, and A2 all the way to the right, but I'm guessing this is normal, and just the way that stereo channels are shown?
I'm not sure if I have downmix enabled--where do I check that?
On somebody else's suggestion, I tried exporting a non self-contained Quicktime movie from FCP and then dragged that into Compressor and it seems to solve the stereo issue. Not sure why it doesn't work going straight from FCP, but there must be something going on inside there...
Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it!

Keynote Audio only left channel

Has anyone else had this problem and how did you solve it? I am using an M Audio Fastback USB input to record to Keynote and the audio is only recording to the left channel/speaker. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or how to fix this?
Thanks,
Paul

System Properties > Sound
in the output tab, select Fast Track USBand centre the Balance slider
in the input tab, select Fast Track USB and move the volume slider to the far right
Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI setup > M-Audio > Input; set the master to the far right
The front panel controls affect analogue phono out connectors and the headphone jacks for monitoring, they do not control recording.

Only left channel records - help please

Here's my set up. I have DVR with a bunch of movies. I am taking S video out and RCA audio out to a Sony DCR TRV 120 camcorder. This camera can act as a DV bridge. I am going out from the Sony via FW into my PB and trying to capture the movie in iMovie 5.0.2.
Everything is working except that I am only getting audio from the left speaker on the computer. I checked the computer in iTunes and sound comes from both speakers. I checked the camera with headphones and there is sound coming into the camera in stereo.
So, it must either be that I am losing the right channel via FW or the DV bridge in the camera.
I have imported many movies from Hi8 tape without a problem. Is there anything I am missing here? Should try to go from the camera's headphone out to the audio in on the PB? Could it be a faulty FW cable?
Is this a problem with iMoive 5.x? I have read this forum all night long and not found anyone else with the problem.
I appreciate all replies.

"..I checked the computer in iTunes and sound comes from both speakers.."
So the computer's audio is OK.
"..I checked the camera with headphones and there is sound coming into the camera in stereo.."
No: probably not real stereo; it may be the same mono audio coming out of both channels (left & right), giving you the same mono audio in both sides of the headphones. The camcorder may be trying to 'do you a favour' ..and, because it's receiving only mono, it's helpfully(?) playing the one incoming channel out of both headset channels.
"..So, it must either be that I am losing the right channel via FW or the DV bridge in the camera.."
No: FireWire is just a digital link which carries exactly what it's being fed - you can't lose a right channel via FireWire: it passes on exactly what it receives ..like handing on a cake to someone: the person who receives it from you wouldn't receive it with half the raisins or the self-raising flour or the egg missing ..it's all handed on complete.
"..the DV bridge in the camera.." Well, as I said; I think you'll find that the camera is receiving only through its left channel, but is providing that left-channel audio out of both sides (..left & right..) of your 'phones.
So the problem is probably at the very source: your "..DVR with a bunch of movies". Either the movies are recorded in mono, and that's leaving your DVR through only the left channel, or - even if the movies really are stereo - only the left-channel is active (..is connected properly, or has sound going through it..) from your DVR to the Sony camcorder.
One way to fix this is to take the output from the left-channel of the DVR, and feed that to both the L & R cables which go to your camcorder. Use a 'splitter/joiner' like this..
..so you'd connect the left audio channel out of the DVR (..should be a white RCA/phono plug..) to the single pin of this adaptor, and then connect the pair of RCA/phono sockets on the back of the adaptor to both the left and the right audio inputs of the camcorder ..you may be using a 3.5mm jack plug to connect the phono plugs into the camcorder's input.
This kind of little mono to both channels adaptor is available by mail order from most electronics stores, e.g: here, and the simplest place to find one in the States is probably Radio Shack, or that kind of store.
It's a common problem..

Logic Express Presonus Firebox only left channel output in phones

I upgraded from GarageBand. I have a 17" MacBookPro and a Personus Firebox. I configured the AudioMidi Preferences on the Mac to the Firebox for input and output. When I play back a mono track I only hear the left channel in the phones. I am panned to center. In GarageBand when I configure the Mac as the Audio Driver I hear my mono mix in both L and R phones which is what I want.
Also, in Logic Express, I get no sound when I configure the audio out to the Mac. It needs to be routed to the Firebox.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Jonathan

Thanks for the advice. I tried listening to a song from my itunes library, not using Logic and I still heard just one channel. The culprit must be a faulty connection in the Firebox.

ONLY ONE CHANNEL OF AUDIO WITH SONY PMW-200

Hi,
When I automate to sequence using video shot on my Sony PMW-200 I only get one channel of audio, when the preset in Premiere clearly states 8 channels of 24 bit audio. If I drag a clip to the timeline all 8 channels are there, but then I have to trim the beginning and end of each clip in order to do transitions, which would take forever on a wedding video. There must be other PMW-200 users who have this same problem. I am shooting in UDF mode 422 at 50 mb/sec on the Sony and just updated my Premiere CS 6.
Thanks,
Ed

similar question, I found a thread that may solve your problem: Sony PMW-200 file import into Premiere Pro CS6 only get 1 Ch. audio, you can go for a look. Or you can try some converters to help you. Handbrake, any video converter, ffmpeg,imixmxf, transcode them first, then reload into premiere.

Only one channel of audio recorded with external USB audio interface on DV6604nr

I only get on channel of audio when i hookup my Behringer UCA202 to my dv6604nr
vista 32 sp2 . The Behringer takes analog 2 channel audio and converts it to a digital signal.
This is using the Audacity software. The hardware and software check fine, though i tested them with an xp system.
Are there trouble shooting tips for these issues. I've updated the Audacity software and the usb drivers say their up to date. (?)

Come on... It's just like a usb turntable, only a little better quality. What steps would you use to troubleshoot one of those?

Exports only left channel

When I replay the video within PrE 10, the sound is stereo. However, when I export it (tried several format, ie WMF HD ) it will only play sound in one of the channels.
Doees anybody know, what could be the problem here?
Best regards,
Peter

I've just been experimenting with this for a couple of hours. It seems to be something in the settings for the project. I've tried to import exactly the same media (footage) to a new .prel file, I made from scratch and here sound works perfect. I've also tried to delete all the clips in the timeline for the problematic .prel file, imported new media and placed them in the timeline. This again gives only sound through the left channel after exporting.
The thing is that I've made a bunch of .prel files for a project where we need to make a lot of short videos. They are all based on the same template file (I made one .prel file that contained all the footage I needed, so I didn't have to go through the import process for each video, I made). Therefore starting all over again will really be a pain. I guess that it is a setting or something which I've made wrong in the "template" file and which has thus been replicated to all the other files. The strange thing is that the balance is perfect when reviewing the video inside PrE, only after exporting it, no sounds comes in the right channel.
I simply can't understand what I do differently in the new files and what I did in the old template (and thus in all the other files I've made). They have the same project setting, as far as I can see.
Bill, I haven't been able to find out if it has keyframes. It sounds quite possible that this is what I've done without knowing it, but on the other hand, it's strange that it changes this many times during a couple of minutes. And after investigating I found that not all the videos have this behaviour, but all of them gives only the sound through the left channel after exporting. So probably the two problems are not interrelated.
I really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

Importing only one channel of audio from two-channel video

I'm diving back into iMovie 6 after a long hiatus, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but my search hasn't turned up an answer. I have two channels of audio on the video I'm importing. Is it possible to split the two channels in iMovie once the video is imported, or do I have to figure out how to have the video camera feed only the audio channel I want to import? Thanks!

You have to figure out how to have the video camera feed only the audio channel I want to import!

Only left channel

Hi
i have noticed that the left channel on the external sound plug does not work, however the laptop speaker does play left
any ideas ?

Hello eliuha, welcome to Lenovo forum!
As a first suggestion restart your system. Sometimes the sound "hangs" especially after sleep or hibernation mode
Please tell us your type, model number, not S/N, and used OS please.

Help: Only 2-channel stereo audio!

I only get Stero audio off my Apple TV. I have it connected via HDMI to my Pioneer Elite receiver which is HDMI to my Plasma TV set. I have updated it to the latest software but cannot get the receiver to switch to Dolby for movies or anything.
My DirecTV receiver connected via HDMI plays DD 5.1 fine. Same with my Xbox 360.
I can't seem to get Apple TV to do anything but stereo. Thoughts?

I have my Apple TV connected to a Pioneer Elite receiver also and then receiver to Sony Bravia TV. I have the Audio and Video setting on the Apple TV set to Dolby Digital >On. You might try that.
