How to separate audio channels?

Hi guys, I'm a new Premiere user coming from Avid and I have some confusion working with audio right now.
I filmed some interviews with a radio mic on channel one and channel two was recording from the onboard mic. In Premiere I want to bin the second channel and pan the first channel across left and right. The problem is I haven't got a clue how to do so! This was a doddle in Avid and I'm sure it's easy in Premiere.
Could someone give me a hand here?
cheers

"Took me all of 30 seconds to find the answer to your original question there.  It even has it's own heading"
I did search. I promise! Just out of interest what did you search for? I clearly couldn't see the wood for the trees
Edit; Just so you know I wasn't being a complete muppet, I did watch the Adobe video "Mapping audio channels in Premiere Pro" which gave the impression there was no way of fixing the audio once it was on the timeline. It didn't mention the fill left/right effect.

    I do not see a way to separate audio channels to edit them separately in Premiere Elements (any version).
    Premiere Elements does have audio effects including Balance, Fill Right/Fill Left, and Swap channels, but that is not what you are seeking.
    I would refer you to an audio editor such as the free Audacity for what you want to do.

    But, the opportunity seems to be in Premiere Pro, not Premiere Elements
    Please review and consider and then let me your thinking on the matter relating to your Premiere Elements 12 (what operating system).

    Hi
    How do You record ? With what Camera ?
    • 2 Stereo tracks - one with background one with voice ?
    • 2 x 2 Stereo -
    • 5:1 audio
    • 7:1 audio
    iMovie can use ONE Stereo Audio track.
    To get audio OK I use
    • Audacity (free from Internet) or
    • GarageBand - where I can also do Audio works
    BTW - to get full freedom - Use FinalCut Pro

  • Export to tape with two separate audio channels

    This is probably an obvious one, but I'm having a lot of trouble with it. How do I export to tape making two separate audio channels that can be pulled out separately; not mixed, in other words? I can print to tape, but of course that mixes the audio channels so they're inseperable. I am having trouble with the edit to tape feature, in that, for some reason I can't do insert editing.
    My real question is about the separating of the tracks, though. If anyone can help me with that, I will be extremely grateful.
    Thanks.

    Are you sure that your audio channels are seperate on the timeline. You may have the tracks mono and don't realize it. For example you might have voice on channel one and music on two and three. You may need to pan the tracks right and left accordingly.

  • Play a QuickTime file with eight separate audio channels

    I'm trying to play a QuickTime file with eight separate audio channels but they only play in stereo......  the same QT file will play all 8 channels separately in Qlab, which has separate level controls for each channel, and which "sees" my Digidesign 002 audio interface.  But QT does not recognize the interface, nor does Audio MIDI Setup utility, apparently.....  it will play all 8 channels mixed to stereo through channels 1 and 2

    The following will answer both your questions a) and b).
    Click on your master timeline and press cmd+0 (zero) to bring up Sequence Settings, then click on the Audio Outputs tab on the right. Click on the Outputs option and change it to 6. You can leave them as Stereo pairs.
    Now, back on your timeline, you need to make sure all your audio is organised so each track. A1, A2, A3, A4 etc has all the relevant media on it.
    Then, on the left of the timeline you see the Destination toggle buttons, then you see the Padlocks to lock tracks, then you have the Toggle Auto Select squares. If you right-click on the Toggle Auto Select squares you bring up a little sub-menu, at the top of this list you'll see Audio Outputs, which will show the stereo channels for that particular track. As you've changed the number of Audio Outputs in the Sequence Settings, the list will show: 1&2, 3&4, 5&6. You just tick whichever channels you want.
    In your case, you have dialogue on the first 4 tracks, no problem, just go down through tracks 1,2,3 and 4 as described above and assign these to Audio Outputs 1&2.
    Then just go down through your music and effects audio tracks and assign them accordingly.
    Now, when you export your timeline as a self-contained media file, it will have different audio channels.
    I hope that makes sense. When you change the number of audio outputs as described in the first step, I believe the rest of it is fairly self explanatory, once you know where the settings are.

  • How can I export a Video while keeping separate Audio Channels?

    I'm trying to export some AVCHD footage and convert to ProRes.  However, I do not want to mix the left and right channels together so that they both end up playing the same audio in the ProRes file.  I have audio from one mic on Channel 1 and audio from another mic on Channel 2, and I would like to keep that once the video files is exported.  I'm new to Premiere Pro so instead of spending an hour trying to figure it out myself I was hoping someone could help me out.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Right on. Now, the technical explanation, so you know what's going on:
    Your footage imported with dual mono tracks--whether it was recorded that way or mapped that way on import, only you can say. When you dropped it into a sequence (or on the New Item button), the source audio tracks were placed in mono sequence tracks, but the sequence has a stereo master track. When the audio from these tracks is routed from the sequence tracks to the master tracks, since it's mono and by default panned center, it outputs to both output channels equally. By panning the mono tracks hard left and hard right, respectively, you're essentially isolating each of those tracks to a particular output channel.
    Had your audio been shot as stereo or if you had remapped the dual mono tracks (right-click the clip in the bin before using it in a sequence and go to Modify > Audio Channels) to function as the two channels of a stereo clip, you could have dropped the clip into a stereo sequence track, and the separation would have maintained (assuming the sequence was using a stereo master track). This is a viable solution, too, but may limit your editing a bit more since instead of two separate mono audio tracks, you're working with one stereo audio track.
    Either way will work; experiment to decide which will work best for your workflow.

  • Can't separate audio channels into tracks

    I have four channel audio that was recorded for a short film - a wireless lav for each of the two actors, a boom, and an empty channel. I have it setup as four mono and can tick the box that turns a channel on or off but I am unable to separate this into individual tracks in order to edit their levels individually or export for my sound editor.
    The sound was synced in FCP X to the video for each clip, so what I have tried is selecting "break apart clip items" for a clip, which breaks the four channel audio out into one dual stereo track. Whether I change this to four mono again or not the end result is the same - I select it and choose "break apart clip items" again, at which point then I get this:
    Every time. Three tracks, one of which is positioned ahead of the other two and goes on for what would be the total duration of the take. If you click any of these tracks the Channel Configuration is grey and says "Audio Channel Configuration is unavailable for the selected clips". If you solo any of the clips it sounds like it's just a mixed version of the four original channels.
    I've tried going into the timeline of a synced clip and breaking apart in there but I get the same result as above.
    I need to be able to access, edit, and export these channels as individual tracks. If all I can get is a premixed version of the four tracks then how am I supposed to do a sound edit and mix?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I have tried both copying the tracks to a new sequence and also tried the Preferences Managers tool (thanks for that - great tool!). Still no luck. Any other suggestions?
    I've attached a screenshot in case there is something obvious that I'm missing.

  • How To Flip Audio Channels? (KT3 Ultra2 Onboard Audio)

    Installed Winxp and the Sp1 update, then the 4.43 via 4in1's.  Then I installed the onboard audio driver downloaded off this site for my board.  When I click the RIGHT SPEAKER in the audio setup, sound comes out the LEFT speaker, and visa versa.  I know the speakers are not backwards, as they have not moved in over a year (and have went through two computers now).
    Anyone know how to switch the channels over so they are right?
    Kyle

    When working with Audio in most NLE's, i.e. Premiere Elements, or Pro, there are basically three areas that can affect how the Audio is handled on one's system. First, there is the Sound settings in Windows (from Control Panel). Next, the Audio card/chip probably/possibly has a console to make settings at the card/chip level. Last, and these are really two locations, but I'm only counting them as one since they are both in the NLE - Edit>Preferences>Audio & Audio Hardware. This is where Steve is referring to. Check all settings, and I'd suggest doing so in the order that I listed them above: OS, Audio card, then Premiere. A Mute, or by-pass in the first two, can override the settings in Premiere, and you may have its setting correct, but still not be able to effectively use your hardware.
    The exact settings chosen will depend on the exact hardware that is properly installed. Without knowing all of your hardware and other settings elsewhere, one cannot give you a definitive answer. Ideally, in the settings drop-downs, you *should* see your hardware listed. Look closely, as these can be a bit cryptic.
    If you are still unable to get your hardware working properly, a fourth place to look would be Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager for your Audio hardware. Check that Device Manager sees your hardware, and that it is working properly.
    If all is set up properly, but still not working, report back with exact specs on your system, including all of your Audio hardware. There are possibly some more steps that can be taken. I will not mention them now, as they *should not* be needed. If you do need further assistance, please list every option in all of the drop-down lists from Premiere, so we can know what your choices are.
    Good luck,

  • How to separate Audio tracks

    Hi there
    Yes, I know I'm a community expert so you mighty be wondering why one would be asking here, but not for Premeire Elements. This app is new to me!
    I have a clip I've inserted into PE that was recorded with some odd stereo effect. I'm hoping there is an easy way to listen to each side of the stereo independently, decide which is the more pleasing of the two, then remove either the left channel or the right and fill in the opposite channel with the same audio.
    I've unlinked the audio from the video but am unsure how to proceed from there.
    Thanks in advance for any insight!
    Cheers... Rick

    Rick,
    Not sure how I managed to do this in PE, but I managed to delete the existing audio track and bring back in the modified one.
    I'm not sure either. Maybe brute force and a chisle to the monitor... ?
    The easiest way, for next time, is to Import that new PCM/WAV into the Project with Get Media>Folders & Files. Then, Alt+click (you are on PC, aren't you?) on the original Audio Clip (or Audio Stream of a muxed file), and Delete. Then, drag your recently Imported PCM/WAV from the Project Panel to the now empty Audio Track, where the Deleted Audio Clip was. If you have Snap ON (the S key toggles that), as you get the Head of the PCM/WAV replacement file near that of the Video Clip, the Audio will "snap" ito place.
    Glad that it worked for you.
    As stated earlier, PE certainly lacks any form of being intuitive to use. I'm really shocked this is aimed at consumers! Couple that with the, ummm "less than stellar" help system and you really have a (cough) winning combo there!
    Most of us here are in complete agreement with you. We are very fortunate to have a wonderful MOD, Steve Grisetti, who is also a prolific author, and most of his books are how to do things in PrElements (and PSElements in two cases). Steve has also done a Basic Training Series of tutorials and articles on Muvipix.com, a Web site that he co-founded. After one finishes with that, he has a complete Learning Series of tutorials and articles, though those are available by subscription to the site. The Basic Training Series is free.
    Most subscribers here point to those, the books and tutorial series, to help new users get going. Of all the Adobe programs, that could benefit from a manual, PrE is definitely one. With PrPro, the user often has a good background in NLE video work, so it's easier to use the Help Files, as they are looking for how PrPro differs from, say AVID. With PrE, the user is often very fresh to NLE work, and so many show up here totally lost. I'd love to see Adobe strike a deal with Steve, to include a copy of his PrE book with every copy!
    Good luck, and glad that we could help,

  • Premier Pro C.C.2014 combining separate AVCHD audio channels into one?

    I am having an issue when it comes to working with AVCHD audio in P.P.C.C. 2014. I have gone through and done the proper importing of the video multiple times through the media browser.
    But every time I put a clip into the timeline, it will put my channel 1 and channel 2 audio on the same audio channel. It's as though it isn't even reading the separate audio channels.
    I spent two hours on chat with Adobe tech support to no avail. He said that Adobe did support AVCHD files, but that I should try to record my audio on a separate external device. That obviously is not going to happen nor is it correct, as the camera has two XLR audio inputs, so there are two different audio channels.
    Has anyone had to deal with this issue and if so, are there any resolutions?

    i haven't played with any footage like this to be sure the best way to do this... however the default sequence is set for stereo, as in two channels (left/right). if you have more than that, say 3 or 4 channels then you may need to create a sequence using multichanel in order to have global controls thru the mixer panel, to disable channels 1/2 and use only 3/4.  it may be possible to highlight all your clips in the timeline, right click and choose the "audio channels" option to switch them to channel 3/4.  if its two recordings into two channels, i think the "audio channels" will be the way to go. "audio channels" option is available in the project bin as well, under modify.

  • Recording 2 audio channels

    Let me get straight to the point.
    I'm still amateur in video editing but got a request to record a piano lessons. What I would like to do is record directly to my MB, however need 2 (two) separate audio channels. One for piano, and the other for teacher's voice. My question is how can I do this with FCE? I thought about getting a small audio mixer (4-8 Channels), would this make any difference, or even possible? Can I connect a Mixer to MB over FireWire or USB?
    Thank you for any help or advice.

    If your camera has an external mic input you could get a Y-cable and plug 2 mics into it - one for the piano, the other for the teacher. You don't necessarily need a mixer. When you are filming with the camera you will get your 2 separate channels (actually, one of them will be the Left, the other the Right channel in a stereo pair). You can change the gain (volume) for each channel in FCE after you capture the video and audio.
    You could also use a mixer for this setup. You would connect the mixer's line out to the camera's mic in. But regardless of the number of channels the mixer supports, you will only end up with 2 channels in the video - that is, a single stereo pair.
    ps. You really have to have the audio going into your camera so it will be sync'd with your video. Trying to sync separate audio and video feeds after the fact is a very difficult process.

  • Capturing 2 audio channels separately

    Hello,
    Sometimes my workflow involves capturing 2 separate audio channels at once. I would like to keep these channels independent rather than importing them as stereo when I log and transfer in FCP7. How do I change this import setting? I use Panasonic AG-HMC80 camera that records in AVCHD format.

    When the file is in FCP and you put it in the timeline, if there are double green arrows pointing, this shows you that the audio is being interpreted as stereo.
    To change to dual mono, select the clip and hit "Option + L". This will toggle Stereo Pair / Dual Mono.
    To toggle the linking of the Audio and the Video, hit "Shift +L"
    Good luck.

  • Switching Audio Channels

    I hope I recorded on 2 separate audio channels with my Sony PD-170 - one for wireless mic and the other for on-camera mic.
    Presently, I am getting equal/unison audio levels in my Audio Meter Window, for both left and right. Does this mean I only recorded on one channel?
    How do I check both audio channels on FCP?
    I hope this makes sense.
    Unfortunately, I only have one working computer speaker at the time.
    Thanks very much for your time!

    To find out if you captured as mono or as a stereo pair, double click the clip to load it into the Viewer window. If both audio channels are on one tab, it's a stereo pair. If they're on separate tabs, they're mono.
    To toggle the clip between stereo and mono, select (highlight) the clip and hit Option l (lowercase L). If they are mono (or once you've changed them to mono), you can adjust the level of each channel independent of the other.

  • Separating audio channels

    I'm used to Final Cut where when you import a video track with two separate audio channels the left and audio tracks are in separate tracks and you can easily select one of the two. In Premiere even though I see both tracks I don't know how to separate them, i.e. how to unlink the left from the right channel. How do I do that?

    See the section
    Break a stereo track into mono tracks in the Premiere Pro Help.

  • How can I separate Left and right audio channels in labview 8.5 tia sal22

    How can I separate Left and right audio channels in labview
    8.5 tia sal22
    Greetings All
    I have a working Labview vi that converts a math formula to an
    audio signal.  I would like to have the
    right and left audio channels playing different math audio signals is this
    possible?
    Example
    Right channel -> plays the audio signal created by a math
    formula
    Left channel -> plays the audio signal created by another
    math formula with adjustable phase control
    I’ve included a VI with a working audio and math formula but
    I’m not sure how to separate the left and right channels.
    I’m using labview 8.5
    I looked up a similar question on the
    support board and it said” use an instance of the the Sound Output Write that
    has a 1D waveform data type input (i.e.  Sound Output Write (DBL)). Each
    element in the array would correspond to a channel.”
    But I’m not exactly sure what he meant.  I’m using a formula to generate the wave file

    Sorry it took so long to get back.  Here's the new VI with it splitting out the left and right channels. 
    I'm using a Gigaport HD 8 output usb audio device but I'm experience clicks and pops.  I increase the buffers
    but I still get the clicks and pops.  I know gigaport HD can use ASIO drivers which most likely would solve the problem but one needs to code in C for this which I'm not proficient in.  Can someone recommend a work around to prevent this clicks and pops, can I somehow change my VI to fix this? Does anyone have a VI that will allow access to the ASIO latency properties?
    I'm using labview 8.5
    And a gigaport HD which is a USB audio device which outputs 8 analog signals (it is ASIO compatible)
