Fixing mono audio speech track

Hi all,
Tryng to fix a mono audio speech track - like a podcast that was very badly done - 1 person is very loud and the other is very soft...
I was thinking of using some technique to auto split the whole track into many regions based on wave volume so all soft parts were split from all loud -
then I would make 2nd track and put all soft regions on trk2 and go on from there...
Q: what's the best way to create all these regions?
Thanks in advance - Dave

Hi seeren
I made the key command and that worked  - thanks.
btw:

hmmm - but still don't see it in above directions? are the directions wrong or am I missing something?

  • Mono audio instrument tracks

    Good day To each and every! I saw this posted one time before but i cant seem to find the post. All of my audio instrument tracks are in mono for some reason. Im still using 7.2 and this is the first time this has happened. how do I make all of them stereo again. I cant load any of the presets with them being in mono. Thanks A Lot!

    It's not whether the Track is stereo, but which instrument you've selected for that Track.
    If you can change from one instrument to another, then you can also pick the stereo version of the instrument which is currently mono.
    You are not changing an instrument from mono to stereo; you are choosing a different instrument (although it has the same name). You are switching instruments.
    Suppose you have three Audio Instruments: "iBassoon", "iHorn (mono)", & "iHorn (stereo)".
    You know how to switch the Audio Instrument Track from "iHorn (mono)" to "iBassoon", right?
    Use the same technique (Command-click, click-&-hold, whichever way works for you) to change from "iHorn (mono)" to "iHorn (stereo)".
    Look around; perhaps you're just not expecting to find the stereo instruments in a different folder from the mono instruments (after all, it would make sense for instruments with the same name to live together, wouldn't it? — But that's not the way it works here)!

  • Captivate 8 vs yosemite. Audio speech doesn't work neither on Captivate 7 nor Captivate 8. Is there any bug to fix this problem?

    I'm having problems when using Captivate 7 and 8 - specially audio speech management.
    As I use OSX Yosemite, I don't know why but it doesn't work properly.
    Any bug or way to fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Captivate for yosemite is all around really buggy. I also cant get text to speech to work, but I am experiencing issues with what I call "windowing". When I attempted to maximize captivate 8 to my cinema display, menus and modal windows spawned by captivate often appear behind other windows. In addition, Captivate can't seem to figure out how to maximize to the available screen real estate.
    These two things happen to be the most annoying bugs, but I have experienced many more:
    1.Timeline is really wonky. I can't select multiple timeline items and move them without the timeline completely falling apart.
    2. Selecting objects that are overlapping on the stage is terrrible
    3. Altering the duration that an item should appear in the timeline often creates an extremely annoying bug where other timeline items will jump to an arbitrary spot. This creates a ton of re-work.
    Adobe - Cap 8 is not ready for use in OSX Yosemite- please fix it!

  • How do you export 4 discrete mono audio tracks with video from Adobe Premiere Pro 4/Adobe Encoder?

    I've posted this question in different terms a few times and have not had an answer.  I can't find the answer on the Premiere Pro support site either (which makes me think that a simple solution doesn't exist)
    We use adobe premiere pro 4.  We capture DVCAM tapes with 4 discrete audio channels.  When we export the video using adobe encoder, the result is stereo tracks with the discrete audio channels mixed together which is completly useless to us.  When I select Mono for the output settings, two channels of audio are mixed into one audio channel.  Also useless. 
    When capturing the clip, we always use the mono timeline and modify the clips to mono. We can edit the discrete audio channels but when we export the video, the audio is mixed down. 
    this is the problem.  Each of our  4 audio channels contain a different language of dialogue.  When exported, these 4 get mixed down to 2 mixed channels blending of course the language. 
    Can Premiere Pro 4 export discrete mono audio channels?  How do you do it?
    Does version 6 have the ability to export 4 discrete mono channels?

    Hi Steve,
    Important info is missing from your post - what format are you wanting to export to, and for what purpose? We need to know how the exported file is intended to be used. Who's going to view it, using what gear? Is it for another editor to work with? End user viewing?
    Thanks

  • Grouping a clip's mono audio tracks after capture

    Every time I drag a clip to the timeline, I have to click on the clip, and link the audio tracks as a stereo pair, which is really annoying. After a while, I realized that this is because whoever captured the clips forgot to group tracks a1 and a2 together, so now the clips all have two seperate mono tracks.
    Now that the clips are already captured, how do I group the two audio tracks into a stereo pair?

    Hey Red Truck,
    It sounds like you're pretty much doing everything right. My guess is that if your footage was shot, "logged and transfered" with 4 mono audio tracks (like a lot of HD tapeless stuff does, XDCAM, P2) then this little trick might not actually work. If your footage was shot, logged and digitized as 2 mono tracks (again, maybe the diff being a 2 channel miniDV tape as opposed to the common 4 channel HD stuff) the trick usually works. But truthfully, once in a while I noticed it doesn't work and am still unable to explain why.
    I kinda have a feeling that I've only ever used the trick on DV-NTSC and DVCPRO 50 two-channel footage and not on HD footage that typically comes in 4 channel mono off P2 and XDCAM.
    I'll try to do a test at my end and see if I'm even in the ballpark on this guess. I'm also assuming you're trying this on 4-channel HD footage since you mentioned "...(or four) mono audio tracks" in your post. If you are, for the fun of it, media manage an HD clip down to DV-NTSC with 2 channel stereo audio and try the trick.
    It does work as I've done it numerous times on shows in FCP when assist editors accidentally logged and batch captured hours and hours of footage as dual mono instead of stereo.

  • Adjusting multiple mono audio tracks with the Audio Mixer

    Anybody know how to adjust multiple mono audio tracks simultaneously with the audio mixer? If your tracks are stereo, one fader will control two faders or audio tracks. Suppose you have 6 mono audio tracks and don't want to pull down each fader separately. Is there a way to pull down one fader and have the others locked to it, or controlled by it?

    Not with the sliders, but you can adjust levels with ctrl [ and ctrl ] (I think, not at fcp right now).
    The autoselect buttons (to the right of the lock icons, at the head of the timeline) tell fcp which track to adjust...

  • Exporting mono audio tracks as mono audio tracks with video tracks

    hello,
    i'm working with dv pal 48 khz digitized files.  when i import the files into fcp7, i have a video track and 4 different mono audio tracks.  my plan is to modify each individual mono track, after exporting each as aif, editing them, and then importing them back as aif.  the problem is that when i've built a sequence with 1 video track and 4 different mono audio tracks, there doesn't seem to be a way to end up with 4 different mono audio tracks like the original, it appears that the only option is to end up with 2 stereo tracks.  can someone help me with this, which i'm sure is a very odd problem?
    kind regards,
    charlie

    If you are editing the audio with Soundtrack Pro you can use the "send to" command. It will send your project as a multi-track file so that each track can be editited independently or you can add elements to all four.
    If you have Logic, add it to the "external audio editors" list and you can use it in the same way as STP.

  • Duplicate and sync a mono audio track?

    I just switched over from FCP7 to CS5.5 PPRO.
    When I was in FCP, I used to do a OPTION/SHIFT on my Mac key board and drag the mono audio to to the next one down
    and it would duplicate the audio track.
    Then, I chould highlight both and sync them together so if I moved the volume or did keyframing on one track it would
    also affect the other audio track.
    Is there means of quickly doing the same in PPRO?

    The first part is accomplished using the standard Copy/Paste methodology.
    The second part isn't possible.  You can only adjust one effect at a time.
    Having said that, I'm curious why you'd need to duplicate a mono track?

  • Prem CS6 Mono Audio Track 3db Level Error

    Hi,
    Just been doing some mixing and have noticed that mono tracks are 3db lower than stereo.
    At first I placed a limiter on a mono audio instance (not track) set to limit at -8 and it actually limits at -11.
    This is not the case with stereo tracks.
    I thought it was the plugin but when I tested it out with tone I found that tone came in at the correct level... -12 on a stereo track then when you made it mono it came in 3db lower.
    Anyone got any ideas or is this one for the Bug Report?
    Be good if someone could confirm so I know I'm not going crazy.
    Cheers

    I have a similar problem, in that I normally record split track audio on my camcorder, its on-board mic into Ch1 and a radio mic onto ch2. Upon importing the files into Premiere, I use the Modify > Audio channels option to make the stereo track into two mono channels. And hey-presto, what previously peaked at 0dB now peaks at -3dB. Since I usually aim to peak any audio at circa -3 or -4 dB, this has not been a problem to me.

  • Mono audio panning quirk

    I'm having trouble with several mono audio clips(sound effects and a voice). I want them to sound like they're on the left or right of the on screen action so I pan them over. Only there's no sound if it's 100% left or right.
    Let me be clear... some tracks die when max Left and one dies when max Right...
    The audio is nothing special. Most of it is simple wav format stuff I found on the internet. One is a track I recorded.
    My speakers work fine(I thought I was going deaf there for a while though) and I even tried my iPod head phones... to no avail. The audio still vanishes.
    Here's where it gets strange. The audio even drops out when I export the sequence to a quicktime file. I read the stuff here about mixdown and did that... no luck... still dead.
    What should I look for? What am I doing wrong? Is there some setting that's wrong in FCE HD? Or should I just give up and pan the clips more center and move on?
    Thanks

    Answer!
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832
    Apparently some 3rd party app or multimedia content item automatically reset my audio output setting to a higher rate(better quality) which I'm betting FCE doesn't support. Also one of the sliders for setting the output levels was completely off(0) and even when adjusting the system volume would not move. A quick reset(just dragged the slider to its partner) and all those pesky tracks that wouldn't pan now pan.
    Read the apple support doc above for a more complete (and more technical) description of what's wrong and how to fix it... if you run into the same thing.

  • Capture and Export of Mono Audio in FCP HD

    I have just upgraded to FCP HD from FCP 3. My problem is all of my audio needs to be Mono only. In v3 this was simple I just chose Mono from the capture settings and Mono for Export.
    On FCP HD I can't find any way to capture and export as Mono. When I record Voice Over in FCP all I get is the right channel and even when I set it to pan centre it still only comes out the right speaker after export.
    If I've got to manually duplicate tracks everytime it will take me forever.
    Anybody know a simple way to capture and export Mono only (the same for both Ch 1 + 2)

    This might seem the long way 'round but it may save a ton of time in the end.
    Do your FCP mix in stereo as Colin suggests, then take the final audio track into STP or Peak and do a "mix to mono" and then save a new AIFF file with the resulting mono clip.
    Then bring that back into FCP on a new audio track, line it up with the stereo, then either disable or delete the stereo tracks. This will give you a true mono audio track.
    But where are you going with this content that will handle mono audio? DVDs require a stereo AC3 files. Are you sure you really need a mono sound track?

  • How to preserve multiple mono audio in Multicam sequence?

    I'm a new FCP7 -> Premiere convert and seem to be unable to preserve true multiple mono audio in a multicam source sequence.
    I have 3 video clips, each with 2 mono audio channels, interpreted correctly as multiple mono (showing as "2 Mon" in Project panel).
    When I "create multi-camera source sequence" in project panel using the 3 clips, Premiere Pro Cs6 is creating a sequence with a Master audio track that is stereo.  I cannot find a way to converting the stereo Master audio track to multiple mono audio track after the sequence is automatically created.  When I look in "Sequence Settings" of the multi-cam sequence, there is no "Tracks" tab that is used to set this up in a new sequence.  I have also tried switching all the preferences/audio settings to Mono with no luck.
    Note:  This problem is NOT related to enabling/disabling the additional audio tracks in the multicam sequence, I understand that only track 1 of a multi-cam sequence is enabled by default. 
    Thanks,
    Robert

    When I "create multi-camera source sequence" in project panel using the 3 clips
    Don't do that.  Do things "old school".  Meaning you manually create an "Original" sequence for the 3 clips, add them in and sync them up.  You then manually create a second "Multicam" sequence and nest the "Original" into that.  Right click and Enable Multicam.
    Doing it that way, you'll have the option to specify what type of audio tracks you want for each sequence.

  • How to convert mono audio to stereo during import?

    When I shoot my videos for YouTube I use an external mic which works great but when my camera records it, it is mono sound, so only the left channel of my source videos contain the talking.
    In the previous version of iMovie 9 I used to be able to export using QuickTime and convert the audio to mono so the final video which is uploaded has sound coming out of both speakers.
    Honestly I don't care what format my exported files are in, as long as they're HD and the audio is good. So the new .mp4 file format is no problem for me with iMovie 10.0.1
    In the lastest version of iMovie (10.0.1) I can't see a way to convert my mono audio to "real" mono or stereo sound (whatever it's called) so the sound comes out of both speakers. Having the talking only coming out of one speaker now makes me look like an idiot on YouTube.
    I tried a stereo/mono adapter where the mic connects to the camera but it resulted in no sound. So I'm hoping I can use an audio fix somehow using iMovie 10.0.1 to fix 'er up. What are my options guys?
    Yes I'm aware I can still use iMovie 9, which is what I've reverted back to until I can fix this problem.
    Thanks.

    For now, I think that is the best choice.
    You could also buy QuickTime Pro 7 which will allow you to do the same mono conversion that iMovie version 9 does.

  • Stereo problem using m audio fast track

    I have an m audio fast track that I use in garage band all the time. I'm having trouble right now because by default it sets each input to left the left or right in the mix. In garage band I can set this to mono and then I have control over panning and such. In imovie I can't figure out how to make it so my mic isn't just in my left ear. Has anyone else tried using this? Any help would be great.

    Did you ever get this to work? I just today bought a Fast Track Pro. I have it hooked to my MBP via USB. I can see in control Panel two inputs:
    M-Audio Fast Track Pro UDB: Line Input
    M-Audio Fast Track Pro UDB: S/PDIF
    Problem is, there is no sound registering on the Input Level on either choose.
    I have the Power On and have tried both Input 1 & 2, bith in stereo and mono mode.
    (Just to be clear, I connect the electric guitar directly to the Fast track pro, correct?)
    I have read the owners manual but it is worthless. I thought this would be easy to set up.
    Also note that GarageBand preferences the Audio Output and Input are selected to Fast Track Pro.
    What am I doing wrong?
