Combining dual mono tracks into single stereo

I may be brain dead about this and since I have been recording a client all day--a non-pro doing a VO--I am. I may not be using the search function very well either here or in the manual.
I am working on a 27 minute film segment in Logic exported from FCP using the XML function. Mostly that has gone well but is by no means plug and play. It is very cool to have the project based in Logic and be able to do all my audio and music in one environment to HD picture.
My quandary is this: I would like all of my dual mono tracks from FCP to appear as a single stereo track in LP8. Is it possible to "collapse" two tracks into one with out exporting, reimporting them and then re-syncing possibly?
This is a confusing project and the more I can simplify my organization the easier my life will be.
Thanks, eab

One easy way to treat the two mono tracks as one for editing a so forth would perhaps be to assign them both to the same Group. That way all edits, automation and such will be applied to both tracks.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Convert two mono tracks into one stereo?

    I've imported a clip from my DV camera into Final Cut. For whatever reason, the clip audio is two mono tracks rather than one stereo track. Is there a way for me to convert this to a stereo track after the import?
    Thanks very much,

    Select both clips in the Timeline, then go to Modify->Stereo Pair (Option L). But if both clips contain the same audio information, it won't really be stereo ... just two tracks panned left & right.
    If you want the audio to come in as stereo when you capture next time, make sure that you have the Capture settings for the audio set to "stereo."

  • Combining Multiple CD Tracks into Single MP3?

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know how, in burning tracks from a CD using iTunes (or any other program, for that matter), I could combine multiple tracks into a single MP3 file? I have a particular scene from a Wagner opera that spans multiple tracks, and I'd love to be able to get it into a single file!
    Thanks for your help.

    Have you looked at the "Join CD Tracks" option in iTunes Advanced menu for combining tracks when you are importing? Adding songs from CDs to your library

  • Convert dual mono tracks to stereo in Audition CC

    How do I convert dual mono tracks to stereo in Audition CC please?

    Sorry, but your intentions here aren't clear.
    Do you have two mono signals on one stereo track, or are you talking about two separate mono tracks that should be stereo, and you want them as a single stereo track?
    With the latter, open one file and copy it to the clipboard. Open the other file, and use Edit>Convert Sample Type to convert it to 'stereo' (really dual mono). Select just the side you want to replace, highlight it and hit Delete - this should leave your original file on one channel, and nothing on the other. Place the cursor at the start of the empty section and paste the clipboard contents here. Save the result. You now have a stereo file.
    If you have a dual mono file and you want some stereo ambience on it, then have a look at SHEPPi. This does a remarkably good job of that on mono files!
    There are several other ways of doing file combining - you could do it quite easily in Multitrack mode, and there are also some utilities around that will do it directly for you - although you could easily be forgiven for being completely unaware of them, because generally they are used for reorganising multi-channel Broadcast Wav files, and don't show up using a simple search term.

  • How to put two mono tracks into the usual stereo view in Edit view of Audition 3 ?

    Hi guys,
    Previously I have had no issues simply using Adobe Audition 3 for simple stereo recording and editing of a stereo feed taken from a mixer... well nearly no issues....  :-)
    Today, I'm having a bad day or else it's because I'm getting used to being retired.. :-)  ......
    Query :    How do I put two mono tracks into the usual stereo view in Edit view so they both display correctly there?
    Put simply I have two mono wav files. Let's call them Left_wav and Right_wav.
    I cannot seem to get them imported into a new clean Edit view (Normal stereo track layout) so that Left_wav is on the top half and Right_wav is on the bottom half.
    Whenever I try, I just get either Left_wav or Right_wav taking up the whole of the edit view. i.e. it just shows one track.
    Can anyone familiar with Audition 3 kindly help? I'd appreciate a simple step by step... I just can't see where I've been going wrong, and it's driving me bananas :-).
    Thanks

    There are various ways to do this in Audition 3. here's one.
    Open both mono files separately in Edit view. Then convert Left_wav to Stereo by going to Edit/Convert Sample Type and under Channels select Stereo with Left Mix at 100% and Right Mix at 0%. This will give you a new stereo file with Left_wav on the top channel. Next go to the Right_wav and copy to the clipboard using Edit/Copy. Return to your new stereo file and enable Edit Right channel only in Edit/Edit Channel/Edit Right Channel. Then make sure that the cursor is at start of the stereo file and Paste Right_wav into the bottom channel of the new stereo file. Finally Save As.

  • Mono tracks into stereo

    I am using commnad L to link two mono tracks into stereo.
    The two tracks are of the same video material.
    I need them linked so I can edit them in a smooth manner but when selcted and using the command L fuction they are not linked.
    How can I fix this?

    You want to make the two audio tracks a Stereo Pair, by selecting them on the timeline and the using Option-L.

  • Audio Imports a Single Mono Track instead of Stereo

    I am transferring mini-DV footage into a project that I was previously working on with a different camera. The audio used to import in Stereo Pairs, now it is just a single Mono track.
    I don't think I changed any settings. I looked in the Clip Settings on the Capture window but I don't see an audio toggle. I am using FCP 5.0.
    What should I do differently when importing and how can I get the previous single Mono imports into Stereo Pairs?
    Thanks,
    Hagen

    If you have only one single mono audio track then duplicate it (select audio track then hold down SHIFT and OPTION/ALT key simultaneously and drag the mono audio clip down to the audio track below, it will give you a duplicate) after doing that select and double click the duplicated mono track and in the viewer Pan that hard right (1). Finally select both audio tracks and hit Option+L. You now have stereo pair.

  • How to make two mono audio tracks into a stereo pair?

    My video clip, brought over into Premiere CS6 from Final Cut Pro 5, has the usual left and right audio tracks, but in Premiere they are not linked into a stereo pair. Thus the volume level has to be adjusted separately in each track.
    In Final Cut, I can quickly convert two independent audio tracks into a stero pair by selecting the tracks and then going to the menu Modify > Stereo Pair.  I can't figure out how to do this in Premiere.
    When two audio tracks are not linked, the volume level has to be adjusted separately in each track, which wastes time. But after two tracks are linked into a Stereo Pair in Final Cut, adjusting either track adjusts them both, together. That's what I want to do now in Premiere.
    So, how do I make two separate audio tracks into a linked Stereo Pair in Premiere?

    I need to do in my videos that I either can't do in Premiere or that require involved workarounds like this, things that I can do instantly
    I used to think like you do. These aren't workarounds, per se. The issue is that Premiere Pro is a different program, so you have to approach some things slightly differently.
    Actually, Premiere Pro's audio capability is more like a DAW than Final Cut was, and more powerful too, so if you know that workflow it makes more sense. A lot of FCP people don't have training in programs like ProTools or Audition, so it's more difficult for folks like yourself (and me, too) to catch on. Once you learn it, though, you begin to see its power.
    Tom77 wrote:
    things that I can do instantly with the flick of a keyboard command in Final Cut, such as link and unlink audio tracks.
    In Premiere Pro CC, you can link and unlink audio and video tracks with a keyboard shortcut for "Linked Selection." You have to create it in your Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box, but it works just like the one in FCP. Make it Shift + L if you like.

    Not to mention the fact that I can have as many projects open in Final Cut as I want, and copy and paste between them. Each open project becomes a tab on the timeline, and I can jump beween projects by just clicking on their tabs. I was shocked when I tried to open two projects in Premiere to find that it only allows one at a time to be open. That seems really primitive--
    Again, you can achieve what you want (copying and using items from other projects), you just have to go about it differently. All you do is navigate to the other project files in the Media Browser and import items that you need in this fashion. So, no, you don't have more than one project open at a time, but you got what you wanted, stuff from another projects in your current project. That works for me, anyway.
    Again, Premiere Pro is a different program. You can achieve the same goals, but sometimes have to go about it differently. Some things are faster, some slower. Some are easier to learn, some harder. Hopefully, you see my point.
    I need video generators to make arrows, circles, squares, etc. and transitions such as edge wipes and clock wipes to animate them, all to point out and emphasize things that I'm demonstrating and explaining in my videos. Premiere has no such generators, nor are there any third-party plug-ins available to add them, that I've been able to find.
    Do you know about the Titler? It has a lot of useful shapes. You can also create shapes in After Effects and Photoshop and import them. The shapes you make in those programs can look a lot better than the stock FCP effects.
    There are lots of third party effects, some that have generators. Check out Boris Continuum, FX Factory, CoreMelt, Film Impact, and more.
    There are pitifully few transitions in Premiere at all (the Mac version) compared to Final Cut.
    I'm really not a transitions person, and I find the FCP transitions looking tired anyway. The only one I really need is a white flash and I can either create it, or use a third party flash effect. If you need cool, modern transitions, check out Film Impact or the other third party plug in foundries I mentioned. There is an Edge Wipe transition, called "Wipe." If you need feathering, check out the Wipe Effect, which you can keyframe to look like a transition.
    More and more I would like to be moving completely into Premiere, but I keep running into these inadequacies in the program, these roadblocks, for my purposes at least.
    The more you work with it, the less you'll be working with FCP. That's what most people are saying anyway. Sure, there are minor annoyances associated with learning a new app, but you also take the good along with it. I suggest you just dive right in. It may take longer at first, but you can get your speed up in time.
    I have no doubt that sometime in the future Premiere will become everything that I want it to be, and at that time I can finally abandon Final Cut for good, as I wish I could do right now.
    I also came from FCP, taught FCP for nearly a decade, wrote a book about FCP, help start the first FCPUG, worked at Apple on two versions of FC Studio, so I do know what you are going through. Just keep at it and keep posting here. I'll be glad to help you with any workarounds or confusion related to moving over from FCP.
    Thanks,

  • Making two mono tracks from one stereo track?

    I've used the M-Audio MobilePre USB device to record  vocal and guitar at the same time. In GarageBand, this inputs as one track, with guitar on the left channel and vocal on the right.
    I'd like to separate this one stereo track into two mono tracks for further mixing and editing.
    Any ideas on how to do this?
    Thanks!

  • From 2 mono tracks to 1 stereo track

    I have 1 video clip and 2 conected audio tracks.
    How can i create 1 stereo track from the 2 splitted mono tracks?

    No. One work around would be to create a stereo sub mix channel, this would at least give you a single fader but it won't help you when editing. You could try grouping the video and two audio, then they should be easier to select.

  • In GarageBand how can I record a mono source into both stereo channels?

    I am working on a project that has only 1 track (Casio keyboard plugged into my Mac's audio input). This obviously, results in a mono recording using the left channel only. Is there any way to copy that track into the right channel, so at least the recording sounds balanced? Right now it is very heavy on the left, with a little sound leakage into the right channel. Adjusting the pan position of the track doesn't seem to help. Anyone have any ideas?

    If it is an head phone output it should be a sterio output.
    (You can verity it with headphone)
    But your guit. jack is a mono cable. ( 1/4" unbalance I think)
    You would need and 1/4 balanced cable and be sure that your 1/8 adapter is
    sterio. (they usually are, but checking alwas good)
    Your could get an 1/4 sterio to 1/8 sterio adapter plug into your keyboard output
    ane have an 1/8 cable from that to your mac.
    Or anything else it is basicly a cable thing you have to work out.

  • HDV audio is 2 mono tracks instead of stereo

    When capturing my HDV video from my HDR-HC1 cam the audio is being captured as two mono tracks instead of a 2-channel stereo track. Does anyone know how to fix this and get the stereo?

    Just out of curiosity... Why?<<</div>
    Why do I want two mono channels? Why do you want a stereo pair?
    In my case, I usually have different mics connected to the two inputs on my camera. One may be a wireless and the other the on-camera mic, or another wireless. Hearing these in stereo wouldn't be natural at all, so why would I go to the trouble of capturing stereo only to have to pan them to center inside FCP? Even if I'm just using the on-camera mic (Sennheiser ME-64 or ME-66), it's a mono source so there's still no reason to convert it to stereo.
    As another example, if I'm shooting a talking head, I'll have the person miced going to one channel. I usually won't even capture the other channel as its useless to me for editing purposes.
    On the occasion I do want stereo, it's usually only when I'm taking a feed from my audio mixer where I may be mixing 6 or 8 or 10 mics. In those cases, I'll do the panning on the mixer and most likely WILL capture as stereo in FCP.
