How to separate left and right channel in audiotracks

I would like to adjust audio tracks left and right channels separetly from each other. Now the volume levels are linked together. Is there a way to separate them?
Other question is ; for some reason the pan slider in viewer does not seem to have left/right affect but kind of mono/stereo affect. It is supposed to be so, or do I have some audio preference button in wrong position?

To answer to myself: Go to the User Manual and read the Chapter Audio Editing Basics from page 425.
Or click the clip in timeline which you want to change, and go to Modify---> uncheck the stereo pair option in there.

  • How to separate left and right audio channels?

    I've imported some AVCHD footage that had audio recorded separately to each channel, left and right.  When I put a clip in my timeline, I can separate the audio tracks, but I can't edit them individually.  When I bring down the level to 0db on one track and play the clip, the audio meter still shows equal levels on both left and right channels.  Any advice?
    Second question - I transcoded some AVCHD footage to MP4 and can't figure out if the audio tracks remain separte after the transcoding.  I used Free MTS M2TS Converter to do the transcoding.  While I can choose 'dual mono" for an AVCHD clip, I do not have that same option for the MP4 clip.  It offers me "6 mono" but not dual mono. Any advice?
    My concern is that when I provide my clients with raw MP4 footage with right and left audio recorded separately, that they'll be able to edit each track individually. 
    Thanks!

    Thanks Tom.  I recorded 2-channel audio, not 5.1 surround.  Six mono was only an option on the MP4 clip.  I did change the channel configuration from stereo to dual mono on the AVCHD clip, but I still wasn't able to edit the audio independently.  Even when I mute one track, the audio meter still shows equal left and right levels.

  • 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)

  • How do I apply effects equally to the left and right channels.

    I am an intermittent user of Sound Track Pro. I've made some cool audio beds with it in the past but right now I'm having two problems since I have not used it in so long and never was pro with it to begin with.
    1. Seems like the lift and stamp tool only works in multi-track mode and not in the wave editor.
    2. so I put my file in the wave editor to redo the effects from scratch there but now I don't know how to apply them equally to the left and right channels.

    Thank you! One more question: I've got quite a bit of interview tape and would like to increase the playback speed to 1.5X or 1.75 x so that I can get through everything faster. Is there a way to set it at those tempos? I only see the 2X, 4X, 6X, etc. options, but these are too fast and I can't understand what is being said. Is there a way to set this to 1.5X the original speed?
    Thanks!

  • How to set audio instruments to record in left and right channels

    I am a new Logic express user. I am using a PreSonus FireWire to in put guitars and mic's. If I use Logic Express to record my guitars from input 1 I only get sound out of the right channel. If I use input 2 I only get sound out of the left channel. If I use the Garage Band tab to input the same instruments plugged into either channels 1 or 2 on my PreSonus I get sound from both the left and right channels together. There must be a simple fix I am missing in Logic. If anyone can help me I would I would appreciate it.

    Hi t,
    welcome to the forum!
    There's nothing wrong with your set-up!
    MONO inputs to mono tracks,
    from the mono track you can add mono to stereo plug-ins and benefit from that.
    In garage band you have a mono input that showing a stereo channel, that's what what I have explain above. In Logic it's a blody waste of HD space (not to say wrong) as you recording a mono file to stereo.
    Think bigger and pratical now T, those things make all the sence,
    GB is so easy that can confuse us about the real thing because it's hidden from your eyes.
    Kindly regards,
    Jorge

  • How to divide audio in Left and Right Channel?

    Hi there,
    I want to divide audiofiles into the left and right channel, but I keep forgetting the shortcut.
    Can anyone give me the shortcut again?
    Thanks a lot

    If you have two audio clips of the same duration, you can select (highlight) both, then hit Option l (lowercase L) to make them a stereo pair. The pan will be set to -1 indicating that channel 1 will be routed to the left output channel and channel 2 will be routed to the right output channel.

  • I'm using GarageBand 10.0.1. Do the built-in drum tracks only come in mono format, or is it possible to make them true stereo (i.e. Left and Right channels outputing different signals, to sound like the kit has been panned across the stereo field)?

    I'm using GarageBand 10.0.1. Do the built-in drum tracks only come in mono format, or is it possible to make them true stereo (i.e. Left and Right channels putting out different signals, to sound like the kit has been panned across the stereo field)?

    All the Drum Kits available for GarageBand are mixed in stereo.
    Logic provides the same 18 Drum Kits also as "Producer Kits", which are multi-track outputs,. Each Drum Kit Piece (Kick, Snare, HH, etc) and also room mice and overheads are routed to individual channel strips.
    Here is a screenshot of one Drum Kit in Logic Pro X with individual Channels Strips. Each Channel Strip can be loaded with individual effects (compressor) and adduced with individual sends, etc.
    What that means is that all the Drummers are professionally recorded and sampled with individual mics. The Stereo Drums Kits are just "stereo mix-downs" for easier handling and less CPU demand. I explain all the details about the Drummer ecosystem in my graphically enhanced manual "GarageBand X - How it Works"
    Hope that helps

  • I would like to transfer old reel-to-reel tapes to an iMac. There are different recordings on the left and right channel of the tapes. When I connect the tape deck to the Mac, I get one recording on the left, the other on the right speaker. What to do?

    I was about to transfer some music from a reel-to-reel machione to my Mac. There are different sound recordings on the left and right channels. When I connect with RCA cables and Y-connector, I hear one recording from the left speaker, another from the right side. How do I record only one side, but hear it from both speakers?
    Detlef

    You don't say what end, or connectors are plugged into what. I'm assuming the RCA connectors are on the reel-to-reel end. Since the tape has two different mono recordings, one on each track, you of course only want one at a time during playback. Otherwise, the Mac (or any recording setup) can only treat it as a stereo recording with the standard Left-Right tracks.
    1)  There are multiple ways to connect different types of cables to get a mono signal down to a stereo output at the Mac. Here's one way.
    2) Plug any RCA cable (single cable or stereo) into only the right or left RCA output of the reel-to-reel.
    3) On the other end of the RCA cable, plug in an adapter like this. That will feed the single RCA output into a mono 1/8" plug.
    4) Then plug that adapter into this. That turns the 1/8" mono signal into a "stereo" output with the same single track audio being fed to the Mac on both the left and right channels.
    5) Record either the left or right output of the reel-to-reel. Rewind the tape and switch the RCA connector on the reel-to-reel to the right channel (if you started with the left) and record that mono signal as stereo.
    Or, avoid all of this hardware mumbo-jumbo in the first place and do this:
    1) Record the audio just the way you have it. Two different recordings, one on each channel.
    2) Copy the audio recording to a new name and open it in your editor.
    3) Highlight the left track and copy/paste it into the right track. Presto! Mono recording of the left track on both channels. Save the recording.
    4) Repeat, only copy/pasting the right track into the left track and save the second recording.

    Hello jacquemac,
    Your first question:
    There might be a better way of achieving what you wish to do, but following these steps could help you out.
    You might want to blend in Thumbnails and Invisibles either with (cmd+shift+i and cmd+alt+p) or over the View section in the Menubar.
    1. go for Documents (right end of the Toolbar) -> Section
    2. place your cursor at the very top of your second page and click "Create new Section->Starting with this page" in the side bar on your right.
    (what you are actually doing next is setting the pagenumbers for each section you created. You can see your sections in the Thumbnail view.)
    3. click on your first page (the first and only page of your first section) and mark the checkbox "Hide on first page of section"
    4. click on your second page (the first page of your second section) and  "Insert page number" -> start at 1
    Your second question:
    Im not quite sure i understand what exactly you want to do here. One page, two columns, each column with another page number? As far as i know this is not possible.
    greetings jl

  • Splitting left and right channel

    I need to split the left and right channels of the audio output.  I have a stereo cable from my new HP  Pavilion 15 Notebook PC, running Windows 7 Home Premium,  to an amp that takes the channels separately.  The amp allows me to control the volume for the channels separately.  This does not work on my new laptop.  I get both channels on both ends of the cable.
    I have an older HP G60 Notebook PC, running Windows 7 Home Premium, and the same cable and same amp does just what I need.
    Is there a way to configure the audio out port in my new PC so it works like the audio out port on my old PC?

    No, not at all. Reversing the phase will not swap anything, it'll just reverse the phase.
    Use the Gain plugins' Swap button for that. The Gain plugin is under {inserts}>Utility>Gain

    Hello,
    Here's another trick...although the "Index Array" suggestion will work, you should investigate using the "Delete from Array" function...you can tell it to delete one of the columns (or rows), leaving one column (or row)...the function will output both the resulting array AND the deleted array, which happens to be the other row/column...this method might not be as intuitive, but it only makes one copy of data in memory, while the Index Array method makes two copies.
    I hope this suggestion helps. I only found out about this trick with "Delete from Array" the other day.
    Have a great weekend!

  • Left and right channel panning for drummer backing tracks in Garageband - HELP

    Hi there
    OK, so I've finished my song on garageband that I've recorded with a USB keyboard with many STEREO keyboard parts and a click track.
    I need to be able to mix down to the following specification for my drummer.
    Left Channel - Mono keyboard sounds (to goto PA)
    Right Channel - Same Mono keyboard sounds plus click track (to be heard through headphones)
    So basically the keyboard will be the same mono track at the same volume playing through both the left and right. I cant simply put the stereo keyboard sound in the centre as that would mean the drummer would get SOME parts of the keyboards stereo fields and the PA would get the other parts of the stereo field so it wouldnt sound right.
    Any ideas how to do this?
    I hope I've explained myself OK

    I need to be able to mix down to the following specification for my drummer.
    Left Channel - Mono keyboard sounds (to goto PA)
    Right Channel - Same Mono keyboard sounds plus click track (to be heard through headphones)
    Here are instructions on how to split a stereo track into mono tracks:
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/StereoToMono.html
    On top of this, you will want to re-import the mono keyboard track back into Garageband, duplicate it onto a 2nd mono track,  then add the click track (on a separate 3rd mono track of course).  Then pan one mono keyboard track hard left, and pan the other mono keyboard track hard right and the click track hard right as well.  Export as normal and everything should be good.

  • In Final Cut Pro X 10.1.1 I'm trying to separate left and right stereo tracks to delete left and pan right to centre. I cannot find a way to do this.

    I record in stereo with a 10KHz tone down the left channel to defeat AGC on my camera and mic feed into the right channel. When I edit, I want to mute/delete the left channel and pan the right into the centre, to leave me with mono audio across both left and right. I could do this easily in FCP 6 but can find no way to do it in FCP X. I'm using the same source files. When I choose Dual Mono mode in the Audio Inspector, it mixes left and right and pushes the combined signal into both channels, giving me a mix of 10KHZ tone and audio in both left and right. Stereo mode shows me the two channels correctly with one driven hard (the tone) and the other at good voice levels. I just want to kill the left channel and pan the right to centre.
    I'm converting original TOD files using MPEG Streamclip before import and definitely keeping audio as stereo.
    This is driving me nuts! It should be simple and is in FCP 6. Any help greatly appreciated.
    Stereo Setting
    Mono Setting

    Mb - If you're using FCPX 10.1.1 and Mavericks, make certain you've downloaded the most current Sony XDCAM FCPX plugin from sonycreativesortware.com unless you're using an older version of FCPX and then you'd need the previous XDCAM plugin.
    You shouldn't see 8 mono tracks.  There are import settings in /fCPX that you can check and I don't ask FCPX to analyze my media or seperate mono or combine stereo, etc.  I like to have everything come in as it is, especially because I know what I've done with every channel, etc.
    What I wrote to Ian is what I'd tell you - so please take a look at how you can make a "stereo" track that is actually two mono tracks, mono.  Once you do that you can address each mono channel by itself since it needs different volume, compression, and EQ than other channels.
    There are ethernet, USB, and firewire controllers that work in FCPX, but that's not the typical workflow because generally if you're getting into any amount of post audio sweetening beyond basic "staples" audio treatment, you would instead use "Roles" to export your audio to Logic or Pro Tools and do you work in those applications and then cut the final product back into your FCPX project.  In Logic or Pro Tools is where you might use a controller.
    In terms of automating levels, I'm not positive I know what you mean.  Compressor is a nice internal Logic plugin that kind of automates levels in a way but its about compressing peaks at a threshold that you set and at a ratio of compression.  So I may not understand what other automation is available unless you've exported you tracks to Logic or Pro Tools.

  • How to send left and right of stereo sources to different targets?

    Hi
    Suppose I have an instrument track or audio track in stereo, and I want to send the left side of it to one bus and the right side to another bus, is there an easy way of doing this without creating two duplicate tracks (and panning one hard left and the other hard right)?
    Similarly, suppose I have routed a track into a bus which contains an effect, a phaser for example, which is in stereo, and I want to put a delay on just the right and side but not on the other. Is there an easy way of doing this (without for example routing the output of the phaser bus to two separate busses and panning them hard left and right and then routing the right bus to another bus which contains the delay)?
    Thanks if anybody has any suggestions, I'm playing around with this sort of stuff at the moment but its gettings too spaghetti. Am I being daft and the ability is there I just haven't found it in the manual?

    Well, I did just what you´re asking about the other day. In order to process a stereomix with MS technique, I needed to send the left channel to bus 1, the right to bus 2. So I turned off Universal Track Mode. This enabled me to route the output to Bus 1-2 instead of Output 1-2.
    I believe this should work for you, too. It´s a bit fiddly, and you mustn´t forget to turn Universal Track Mode back on if you continue with another project. Otherwise things might get very complicated indeed.

  • How to group Left and Right audio tracks from a .OMF file?

    Hi, i'm editing the sound of my short film, i've sent a .OMF to audition from premiere, but the left and right tracks are seperate tracks in the multitrack session, how would i group them so whatever i do to one channel, will be done to the other

    This is because the OMF specification requires mono audio files
    It really depends on what you are trying to do with the two tracks as to the best answer as far as 'grouping'
    You could select all the clips on both tracks and right mouse click and select 'group'
    You could send both tracks to a bus
    You could export the two tracks to a stereo file and bring that back into the session
    Lots more things I'm sure but a little more detail as to what you are trying to do would help
