HUGE audio problem - Right channel only?

Editing i hear both channels or atleast 1 channel split. Regardless, after i export all of my clips except some sound loops/musc is on the right channel... What happened?
Had a video where only some clips(coincidently from a certain camera) were all right channel where as all other clips where both channels.
Confused. Give me some help over here.
Thanks

You got it!
That solved evrything.
Now my next audio thing is that my footage will come in one one side(left channel) so i have to put it from stereo to dual mono. However that is due to a setting of recording on my cam im sure.

    no. what are you trying to accomplish?

  • I am getting audio from the right channel only my iPad and it is distorted with static.  How can I resolve this problem?

    How do I adjust the audio output of my iPad? There is sound only from the right channel and it is distorted with static.

    There is no adjustment as the iPad 2 speaker is on the right side only.

  • Audio input issue - No stereo... Right channel only.

    Hi
    First to thank you for taking the time to read and consider this if you do - any help in this would be hugely appreciated
    Ok - I'll try to make this as concise as poss but it needs some explanation:
    I'm home-recording hobbyist musician. One of the things I would very much like to use the iMac for is to back up old four-track tape recordings, recording them as wav or mp3 as the case maybe and saving them to my hdd. Easy right? Apparently not, so far... let me explain:
    On the tape recorder there is only an RCA stereo out (red and white, left and right). The very first thing I did when I got the iMac was download Audacity (the audio software), hooked up a stereo lead to the RCA outs on the tape recorder, and ran it into the line-in port on the iMac, using the 1/8" jack.
    Now, sound came in, but only the right channel. The left channel was completely dead (ie when I panned the audio to the left, or if there was a sound in the mix that was only in the left channel, it was absent).
    Since then I've bought Logic Pro and and an audio interface and this presents the EXACT same problem... Nothing in the left channel. (please note, I am aware you can "fake" stereo by setting a channel-strip to "mono" so that there is sound on both sides, but get this - it only splits the right channel in two - so you still don't have the left channel or genuine stereo signal frustratingly)
    It should be noted that stereo sound is not a general problem on the system. Stereo output is perfect (ie on itunes, cds, online etc - or if I'm using softsynths in Logic for instance) it is solely an AUDIO INPUT issue.
    Needless to say I've explored all options in sys prefs to no avail.
    It should also be noted that I have also tested the actual output of the tape recorder and used the same leads to line into a home stereo system no problems.
    Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or how this could be resolved? I am even open to suggestions for peripheral equipment, sofware additions etc - any questions at all, just ask.
    Thanks again, any input would be welcome.
    EDIT: I also posted this in the general iMac forum. Posting here for people w specific audio knowledge thanks!

    Pancenter, thanks once again.
    Sorry about delay replying - have had an internet outage here just to add to my woes haha.
    Anyway, the good news is that I think I've cracked it:
    After updating the OS per your suggestion, uninstalling both Audacity and the m-audio (profire 610), and lastly resetting defaults on sys audio midi prefs I was still experiencing this problem - just on a line-in to Garageband. Pure frustration.
    So eventually I just elected (in lieu of chucking the hardware out the nearest window lol) to do a cold re-install of the OS (erase and install option, backup hdd done). As I bought the iMac in January the OS is 10.5.5 I think.
    After install, before doing anything else at all, I opened Garageband, set up an audio track and set input prefs to Line in Stereo 1/2 etc, and hooked up the tape unit via rca and the line-in port. The result? Perfect 2-channel stereo.
    My personal theory is that the problem was created by the audio interface installation - an m-audio "profire 610" - Tho Audio interfaces are a frickin minefield anyway between Macs and PCS, chipset compatabilities, dodgy beta drivers, worthless gadget-hawking etc etc... I also realised that while my first original attempt was on Audacity I had already installed the profire unit just immediately before (but didn't use it). I doubt it was Logic which is designed specifically for the mac - I feel this theory might be proven when I reinstall these.
    So there you go - get the Audio interface right it seems.. And I've got stereo audio.
    Thanks for your help and input Pancenter - much obliged.
    Peace.

  • Stereo audio in left channel only.

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem with one of my projects.
    I have created a large number of "talking head" videos/projects. I export them to FLV using one of PREs default settings. For just one of these projects I get audio in the left channel only. All other clips are OK.
    When I play the clips on the timeline the audio is perfect in both channels. So somewhere in the rendering/output process I loose the right channel.
    What am I missing here?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi and thanks for all input.
    Yes I use a mono mic, but the camera puts the sound on both channels.
    When I play the timeline I hear the voice in both channels.
    The timeline audio track shows waveforms on both channels.
    Here is a pic of the timeline:
    The project is corrupt somehow. I just tried creating a new project with the same video files and made a short flv out of it and it comes out OK.
    I will try to redo this one which leads me to another question which I will post in another thread if not already answered.
    Thanks for your input.

  • Input on right channel only??

    New to Mac, Mainstage, but not new to recording.  I just don't know a ton about how to use this stuff.
    I've got my acoustic plugged into a basic M-Audio USB interface.  Interface into the USB port on my Mac Book Air.  MainStage is set to use the Interface as Input/Output.  I play, I hear it in my speakers, it's all gravy.  EXCEPT... In stereo, only the right channel shows any input!  The reverbs come out stereo, which sound very nice, but it's as if the guitar itself is somehow panned to the right.  I don't get it.
    If I record it and play it back, it sounds exactly the same.  Main signal comes out of the right speaker, but all the reverbs/delays come out stereo.  It's a trip. 
    If I set the thing to "Mono" then I get nothing at all.
    Anyone?
    Thanks for dropping any help you can give. 

    Oh, I didn't just blow out the speaker. I would know, because I was using headphones at the time. I also made sure right away to test with other devices being played through the analog stereo 1/8" input. All play through JUST the left side, regardless of output device.
    However, sounds/noises/music/etc. generated by the computer itself (iTunes, movies, alert sounds, and such) are all stereo.

  • Sound messed up right channel only not the headphones

    Anybody else have this problem: When headphones are plugged all the way into the jack only the right channel works. Pull the headphones slightly out of the jack and the left channel works. Both channels sound a little faded. Tried other headphones and same problem.

    yea i have the same case, i was thinking that might have been a problem. yea i have to send mine back again the second time for the same problem. I think if Ipod just made them right in the fist place mabey they could save some money on all the returns. good luck with your ipod. and remember if you send it back more than 3 times apple sometimes gives you some free loot.

  • Creating audio in right channel

    I know this has GOT to be simple.
    I'm new to Soundtrack after a couple of years using Adobe Audtion. However, I can't seem to duplicate the left channel and plaste it into the right channel.
    I have a recording that was only recorded in the left channel. I simply want to put the same recording in the right channel so it balances out in both speakers. In other applications, it's just a matter of cutting and pasting. Not so with Soundtrack Pro. What am I doing wrong?

    Marc actually this one thing takes some manual skills. This is what you have to do: start with the timeline at the beginning of the segment you want to copy, and make sure you have your end point also [you can use add marker].
    Then take your mouse just above the waveform until you see a small letter indicating L for left on top, R for right on bottom of waveform-click. You'll see half the waveform go blank, that's deselected. Now press shift and the right arrow key until you've got your audio selected, then you can copy/cut and paste.
    [if your audio is in the middle it'll help to zoom out first and mark your start and end points then zoom back up closer so you don't have to hold the shift key for so long and the little bar on the bottom can be stretched and shrunk to zoom out/zoom in.]

  • Export - h.264 put all audio in right channel

    I have a 1080p 24fps project that is set to the default surround sound ProRes codec settings. When I did the Share:Export and selected ProRes as the codec, it exported perfectly. When I selected h.264 from the pop-up, it put all the audio on the right channel. The workaround I used was I fired up Compressor and made an h.264 version of the large ProRes version. However, is there something I should know about that I can do that will allow me to export it directly to h.264 from FCP X?
    Thank you!

  • EQ in the right channel only

    Hello
    Yesterday I had my 4 year old son as assistent.
    Using Behringer 2442.
    After the session I noticed that he had raised
    the EQ mid to +6dB and the Freq stood in position 800 hz on the mixer.
    It was 2 monotracks panned L & R. It was only for right channel that he EQed.
    The left channel is neutral. Is there any way to restore this recording
    in Logic?
    with regards Nygade 48

    Luckily for you the "Pan" control in Logic's mixer is actually a "Balance" control when using stereo tracks, which I am guessing you're using.
    So if you simply make a new stereo channel in the arrangement, and make a copy of the offending region onto it (so there are two side identical regions). Then in the mixer pan the original left and the new duplicate right, you should hear exactly what you were hearing before making the duplicate, but now you can apply an EQ to one of the channels and it will only affect the left or right channel independently.
    Next time check your employee's qualifications!

  • Audio Problems - One Channel Slow and Sometimes Not At All

    Hello,
    I'm having a terrible problem, since yesterday - but not in the weeks before. The audio tracks are acting very strange. Sometimes one channel plays normal while the other plays at a reduced speed. Sometimes no audio comes out at all. And when this problem starts happening I continually get the 'Warning - Dropped Frames' box every few seconds.
    Strange thing is that last night I was having this problem, and although repairing permissions, and trashing preferences didn't seem to have an effect, after moving all the media to a single location it seemed to be working fine. So, somehow, everything was working great last night when I finished working.
    I come in this morning, open the same project that was fine upon closing down last night, hit play and one channel's slow, then it doesn't sound at all, then I don't even get sound in the viewer when I open clips there. And now it's constantly stopping with a 'Warning - Dropped Frames' box.
    The system is new as of a month ago, everything was working fine on the first project I did.
    The Sequence settings and media settings are all correct - that doesn't seem to be the problem. And There was no problem working on the last project with all the media coming off the 500GB internal hard drive, so I can't imagine I'd need to get an external just for it to work.
    My intuition thinks it may have something to do with some of the video clips using time remapping, but the main audio that's causing the problem is a music track, not associated with any of the video (so it shouldn't be linked in any way).
    I'm using Final Cut Studio 2, with full updates, etc. on a 24" iMac 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 4GB RAM, 500 GB internal hard drive (100GB still available), running OS X 10.4.10.
    Please help,
    the system is basically useless until this is fixed,
    Thanks,

    Matt,
    I just read your post... I am having the same issue. You have explained the issue better than I did in my post. You can read my comments under the subject Final Cut Pro 6 Drop Frame Issue... As you will read, my issue started last weekend when I upgraded to Leopard. Yesterday, I spoke with Apple Tech (Final Cut Pro Support)... They had me do a clean install of Leopard and re-install final cut studio. Once that was complete, do the software upate. Problem still existed. I then called them back and they had me do a clean install of the origianal OS software from the disk that came with my Mac Pro. I than re-installed Final Cut Studio and did the software updates... I still have the same issue.. And like your post stated, I can be in a project and the sound is perfect and then hit the play bar again and the sound is either distorted or it is like an echo where the track is playing and sounds like a second track is right behind it. (Almost like listening to a radio talk show and the person has the radio on and you can hear the time delay of their conversation.
    The Apple support team told me to go into the user preference inside final cut and uncheck the following boxes...
    Report dropped frames during palayback
    abort ett/ptv on dropped frames
    abort capture on dropped frames
    They said by removing the checks on the three items above, I would stop receiving the Dropped Frame Error Message (until i unchecked the boxes), I would get the error message every 29 frames when trying to play the clip in the timeline. However, by remiving the checks, I still have the issue with the audio...
    Question, Have you updated your software, and if so is that when the problems started occurring?
    I agree with your comment "the system is basically useless until this is fixed", Please keep me posted,
    Thanks

  • Detached audio  records one channel only

    Video clip in event library plays two channels audio
    Normal
    But dragged into project as a VoiceOver it only plays on the left channel
    Big drop in audio level
    Desperately seeking solution

    Hi
    No not in iMovie 6.0.3 - but
    You can export out as QuickTime expert mode - here select audio only and as .aiff
    This file You can edit in any audio editor eg Audacity (free on internet) and then
    save and re-import into iMovie.
    or
    As I remember it You can even out in GarageBand - but I've never done that.
    To me the Export to Audacity (or other audio editor) and re-import is easiest.

  • Audio - left / right channel balance

    Is there a way to correct the balance between the left and right audio channels in iMovie 08? I have some video in which one channel is significantly hotter than the other - and I would like to get a good stereo blend, of course....
    Is there a solution?

    Thanks Bengt...
    So..
    1) I extracted audio, fixed it, and saved it.
    2) I made a copy of the video with the (bad) sound deleted.
    Now - it's a 60 minute video, but I want to be able to cut it into several pieces. So, do I have this right?
    a - create a new project with the video
    b - add sound
    c - export as movie
    d - create a new event with the "fixed" movie (now with the adjusted/corrected sound)
    e - create the new projects (the severals pieces I want)

  • 60GB 5g iPod Audio Problems on VIDEOS only

    I've been looking all over the web for a solution but haven't found anything acceptable.
    I'm using the latest version of iTunes, G5 iMac, 1 GIG RAM, System 10.4.5.
    While my Music sounds great, my videos do not. Volume on Videos is adequate but not loud enough to block outside noises (if a subway passes by, I can't hear my Videos at all).
    I've tried the option tab in iTunes and raised the volume slider all the way to the right (100%); I've tried "iPod Volume Booster" and "gopod". None of these utilities help.
    While extracting DVDs in Handbrake I also use the higher audio settings: 48000 Sample Rate, 160 Bitrate. Results are still as I describe above.
    Any other suggestions? Any way I can increase volume as I'm extracting videos (I don't see any such option in Handbrake)
    Thanks in advance for any help.
