Changing 2 Mono Tracks back to 1 Stereo Track on timeline, or source monitor?

I was working in Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and I switched Audio on a clip to 2 Mono Tracks instead of its original 1 stereo track. I brought it in the Source Monitor and then on the timeline.
I then realized later on that I wanted to switch the audio back to 1 Stereo Track instead of the 2 Mono tracks.
I could not figure out a way to do this.
Is it possile to do this? If so. how?
Thanks in advance?

Joe has given you a good answer, but exactly why do you want to switch the two mono Tracks back to Stereo?
If one is not doing certain things, then they will be Mixed-down to stereo on Export. However, certain editin operations WILL be easier with both back in stereo, if you are doing those.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • How do you combine 2 mono tracks into a single stereo track?

    Question here:
    How do I combine 2 mono tracks into a single stereo track in Logic?
    I recorded using my left and right out of my keyboard to a hard-disk recorder (Korg d888). The files are made as two separate wav files. Is there way to combine these in Logic so I can treat it as one stereo track?
    I have several files to do and am hoping Logic has something like a "combine tracks to stereo track" tool or something.

    Solo both tracks and bounce them with no effects and faders at 0 dB.

  • Two mono tracks to create a stereo tracks

    I have a series of piano music a cousin made, but it is all mono. Is there anyway to double the mono track to make a stereo track for CDs?

    Yes, you can fake a stereo recording. Duplicate the track, option-drag the region into it, then offset it slightly from the original, and finally pan one track left some, and the other right some.

  • Audio track missing on timeline when I insert clip from source monitor

    I have the following problem with PP CS6: my media contains two alternate mono tracks (one with the signal boosted as an insurance) and I have PP set up to treat them as two mono tracks, rather than one stereo track. Everything works fine when I drag media directly to the timeline from the project panel. But when I use the source monitor to select in and out points, and then insert the chosen clip into the timeline, only one of the two audio tracks appears on the timeline. Can anyone please explain how to make sure I get both tracks on the timeline via this route?
    Thanks
    DM

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks for replying. Unfortunately this doesn't apply to my case. I've set PP's default behaviour to import as dual mono in Edit\Preferences\Audio. This allows me to drag media from the project panel to the timeline and get two sediscrete mono channels. My problem is that when I go the source monitor route, any clip that I insert does not display two audio tracks on the timeline, just one. I have discovered I can switch the source channel from left to right, which to all intents and purposes fixes my problem, but I would like to maintain the option of getting both channels displayed separately on the timeline if possible.
    Thanks

  • Why are stereo tracks plying back in mono?

    Why are some of my stereo audio tracks playing back in mono with a single channel strip level meter even after I assign it as a stereo track with the two circle icon?

    hi and thanks. The files have two circles where the name is. it's weird b/c I have another stereo track which is a copy of the track that isnt playing corectly that works fine with split level meters showing. I have an output track set to 1 + 2 which shows two split level meteres as well.
    mmmm?

  • Change stereo tracks to mono?

    I accidently recorded 3 vocal tracks in stereo. Is there a way to change them to mono without having to re-record them? They only come out of 1 speaker now no matter what I do.
    I'm in GB3.
    Thanks in advance
    Randy

    First, I didn't mean to be rude, hence my preface "I don't mean to be a dick...". I just didn't want to hear the same wrong answer over and over. It doesn't work, try it.
    Second, I recorded the track with an SM58 (mono mic)plugged into an M-box FW Solo (mono interface).
    The track shows up as stereo but I only get sound from the right. There are 2 level meters (left & right) in the mixer column. One meter shows activity, one meter does not. I must have accidentally had the input set to Channel 1 & 2 (stereo) when it was recorded. Changing it to mono only affects subsequently recorded tracks, not tracks that are already recorded.
    I want to know how I can take this stereo track and change it to mono so I can get sound from both left and right.
    Thanks

  • Changing mono tracks to stereo

    how does one change mono tracks into stereo tracks? I am using CS3. Can I do it in Premiere or Soundbooth?

  • (True) "Real" Stereo tracks converted to Mono after 5.1 update

    Hello:
    I have true stereo (as opposed to dual/centered mono) vocal and guitar tracks included in my most recent project. When I played everything back yesterday I noticed that all the "real" instruments had been converted to mono. I checked the source AIFF files and discovered they are still stereo. I typically record multiple vocal tracks and the export the resultant combined vocals (mono) and clean things up in Amadeus Pro. I often split the track, offset one channel, merge the channels and save the now-stereo file which gets imported back into GarageBand. This saves me from having literally hundreds of iso vocal tracks to deal with and it also opens up the vocals by spreading them across the stereo image.
    The unwanted stereo to mono conversion has happened once or twice the past and I've never really figured out a remedy other than reimporting the AIFF files.
    I was simply curious if anyone had experienced this phenomenon before and discovered a fix before I began the task of reimporting the stereo tracks. Btw, earlier versions of the project were unaffected by the update (if indeed it was the 5.1 update that cause the problem)—so it appears that only the current working project was altered.
    Thanks!
    ~Huck

    I discovered I had only one option (mono) until I unplugged my Mbox and selected System Setting as input source in GarageBand. At that point, stereo became available as a option and I went track by track enabling stereo playback. Thank you very much for your assistance! While I'm not entirely certain why having my Mbox selected as the input source changed all my "real" tracks to mono, at least I don't need to go through the hassle of re-importing the source material. I need to use the Mbox for guitar and bass tracks, so hopefully this was a one-time oddity.
    Again, thank you for your help!

  • Sharing a stereo track in Mono

    Hi -
    I just upgraded to 10.0.2. In the previous version of Garageband, I was able to specify that when I wanted to share my track to iTunes, I could have it export in mono. I have to play my track on speakers that aren't reliably set up to support good stereo, so this is a pretty critical function for me.
    Is it possible to export the track to mono? I've tried changing the input to Mono on the track, but then I lost the left side of my audio. I want it to play evenly all the time out of both speakers.
    Thanks!

    If you center pan all the material in your sequence it will be effectively mono. The output is always two tracks at least. You could make the output dual mono and send everything to one track and leave the other track empty, but I don't think you can export just one track of audio. Is there some special reason you only need one track?

  • Is this a Logic Pro 9 bug: when I do a "Save as..." my mono tracks are converted to stereo.

    I have six mics on my drum kit, each running into a single channel input on my Mackie.
    I noticed that, after I got the sound dialed in for each of the six tracks, and finishing up one drum project, and after performing a "Save as..." to save the project settings for my next drum project, then opening the newly saved project to start recording, I was unable to "record enable" all six tracks, because they had been changed from mono to stereo tracks, and instead of using "Input 1" for track 1, "Input 2" for track 2, etc... track 1 and track 2 had both switched to "Input 1-2", tracks 3 and 4 had switched to "Input 3-4" etc... It took me forever to figure out why I couldn't find the mono inputs from my Mackie in my available options for each track.
    So now I have to go through and specify "mono" for each track and then re-select "Input 1", "Input 2", "Input 3", etc... for each corresponding track. Please let me know if this is something I can fix in the preferences. Thanks!

    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!

  • Export mixdown of several stereo tracks as one mono track

    How can I select a few stereo tracks in STP and export them as a single mono track? either back to FCP or as a standalone file?
    Thanks!

    Oops, i posted this in the wrong discussion group. can this be moved to STP?

    On the Channels Strip (of the Audio Track with the Audio Region), ctr+click on the left segment of the Input Button. That opens a popup menu where you can select Left (only the left channel of the Audio Region is played as mono), or Right (only the right channel of the Audio Region is played as mono).
    Once the signal flow of the Channel Strip is mono (one channel), you can use the "Mono➤Stereo" version of some plugins to convert the Channel Strip to a stereo channel.
    About your second question. If you are referring to the little blue "Catch Playhead Button", that automatically scrolls the Workspace when the Playhead reaches the right border to keep the Workspace visible. You also can also enable  the "Scroll in Play" mode in the local View Menu. That one locks the Playhead in the center and scroll the Workspace "underneath"
    However if you are referring to that little Play icon in the left upper corner of the Region Header (only visible in the Editor), that one, the "Solo Play Button", only plays that Region in solo mode. It is basically a combination of "Play " and "Solo" in on button. You can find all those little informations and much more in my graphically enhanced manual "Logic Pro X - How it Works".
    Hope that helps

  • How to play back one channel of the stereo track in both headphone cans?

    I recorded two microphones in one stereo track. Is there some way I could listen to the left channel and then to the right channel in both cans in my headphones, like a mono track? Panning moves all sound to the left can or the right one in my headphones. But I'd like to listed Left channel as mono channel in both headphone cans, and then press some button and listen to the right channel in both cans. How can I do it?

    No problem. By the way, there is a wrinkle in Logic that you may not be aware of.
    When dealing with a stereo track, the knob in the channel strip that you may think of as a Pan knob is not. It's a Balance knob. What is does is to change the level of what's in either left or right channel but does NOT move the left signal to the right or vice versa.
    To prove this:
    * Create a project with two mono audio tracks
    * Put different files on each track
    * Pan one hard left, the other hard right
    * Bounce the result
    * Create a new project with a stereo audio track
    * Import the audio that you exported above
    * Use the Balance Knob to bring either up or down
    * Note you cannot move one signal from its original position
    If you want to pan a stereo signal, you have to use the insert: Imaging > Direction Mixer. Only then can you position a stereo signal in your stereo field. This is documented in the user manual in the section called: "Setting the Pan, Balance, or Surround Position".
    Have fun!

  • Splitting stereo tracks to mono for separate editing?

    Does anyone know of a way to split a stereo track into two mono tracks inside of Logic Pro 8?
    I'll explain my problem, I have a track made from samples of a song. In the track that I recorded, there is one particular sound that I can't get rid of no matter how hard I try. I recorded the passage with the ESX24 in stereo and I noticed that the noise is only on the left track. My first solution was to pan the track all the way right, create a duplicate of that and pan it hard left. Unfortunately, it loses a lot of clarity and texture when I use this method..
    Looking on the forums, all I could find was instructions to bounce the tracks to split stereo, but I need them to form separate tracks within Logic so I can apply a LowPass filter to the problematic left track, then mix them back together as one stereo track later....
    Any suggestions?

    You guys are talking about different things. The OP says he's using an exs24 instrument with a sample that has a noise on one side of the stereo field of a SAMPLE not an audio region recorded into logic. Samples used by the EXS24 are not added to the audio bin, only into the EXS24's RAM. You could pan the instrument track to the side without the noise, and then output the result to a bus track that is set to MONO. That will pan your one sided sampler back to center. You can also bring the sample into logic (using the browser) and then split it as eriksimon suggested, and then create a new EXS24 instrument using only the good side of the sample.

  • How to make 48 mono tracks into 24 stereo tracks

    When I opened a Final Cut Pro project in Audition 5.5 the Final Cut Pro project had 24 stereo pairs.  The Audition project has 48 mono tracks.  How do I convert every pair of mono tracks into a stereo track?

    The FinalCut XML format that is used to send this only accomodates mono clips on mono tracks (just like FinalCut itself). If it supported Stereo clips on Stereo tracks like most DAWs or PremierePro, then it wouldn't really be an issue.
    That being said, the linking between two adjacent clips in a stereo pairs in FinalCut doesn't transfer over because this version of Audition CS5.5 doesn't have the ability to group clips.   If the source audio files are originally stereo, you could save the session as a SESX, and then perhaps make a script to modify the XML to change all the tracks to stereo, and find and combine 2 mono clips referencing a stereo file, and just make a single stereo clip.  I'm not sure if that explanation helps (or even makes sense).
    Perhaps you could post the session, and I could give more direct advice.

  • How do i export 16 mono tracks in a sequence as 8 stereo tracks.

    Hi I'll be working with 16 tracks of mono audio in Premiere to enable flexibility with my audio edits but when i export i want to make those 16 tracks as 8 stereo tracks, as this is what our specs for TX are.  So 1&2 will be stereo track 1, 3&4 will be stereo track 2, 5&6 will be stereo track 3 and so forth... In FCP this is easy as you can link and unlink the audio in the sequence, and in the sequence settings audio outputs dictate whether it will be mono or stereo.
    From what i gather i can edit in mono sequence then copy and paste into stereo sequence, however as the audio tracks are 1 track whether it is stereo or mono how do 16 fit into 8 when pasting.
    Sorry in advance if i am missing something very easy here, but im pulling my hair out with this.
    Thanks in advance
    Jason

    PP wil naturally send a track to two channels, even with a multichannel Master.  So you can ruote the tracks in the Mixer window.
