Isolating left and right audio tracks
Hi Folks,
I recently recorded a musical performance on my Canon xh-a1s camera and used the on-board mic to record the room sound (left channel) and a patch directly from the mixer's desk to the right channel (by xlr cable).
I am hoping to be able to adjust the volumes of the two tracks so that I have more of the desk sound and just a little of the room mic.
I have tried adjusting the volumes of each but notice that as I adjust the volume on say the left channel, the right also moves with it.
Is there a way to individually move each of the two tracks?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Select the audio clip(s) on the timeline that you want to modify to dual mono by clicking on them. If you want to select multiple clips, hold the shift key down while clicking on the tracks.
Once you have them selected , go to the menu Modify > Stereo Pair and select it. It will toggle Stereo Pairing on the clip(s), and levels will be able to be adjusted independently.

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 -
The question says it all. I have been all over the tutorials as well as the menus inside Premiere 13 and cannot find how to edit the audio track beyond basic balance, volume, etc.
I can see the Audio 1 track, shows audio in left channel only, but it will not respond to attempts to select, cut/copy, paste, etc.
Basically I just want to turn one-channel audio into two-channel audio.25424...
Sure you do not want to give the Fill Left and Fill Right another try?
According to the Adobe document Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Effects reference
Fill Left, Fill Right
The Fill Left effect duplicates the left channel information of the audio clip and places it in the right channel, discarding the original clip’s right channel information. The Fill Right effect duplicates the right channel information and places it in the left channel, discarding the existing left channel information. For example, you might use this effect on footage shot with a monaural microphone plugged into only one channel of a camcorder, extending the voice of a speaker from one channel to both.
From what you wrote, your Premiere Pro video seems to be saying the same.
If that Premiere Elements Fill Left or Fill Right is no go, you might want to explore what you can do in this regard using the free audio editor Audacity.
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
And, then import the Audacity edited audio back into Premiere Elements project as source media.
Is the speaker system OK?
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks for the follow up.

Left and right audio is cancelling out when I stream from macbook to apple TV2
When I stream from iTunes on my Macbook to my Apple TV the left and right audio sounds like it is cancelling each other out, meaning the lead vocal on songs is very low in the mix. Anyone know why this is happening?
Well there is something definitely wrong. If track is panned to left channel and the output virtual LEDs show left channel only then it has to be a problem somewhere else. Are you using a digital interface or the 1/8" audio out to mixer, headphone.

I have an ipod touch 4g (8GB), I got this about 2.5 months ago, the same time my brother get his. My problem is that I noticed that audio quality is better on his device than mine. I have been listening to music and had different music devices before (non-Apple product and mobile phone) and the quality of music is better when I used to listen to those devices as well as my brother's ipod touch. Im referring to the left and right audio channels. Im not so good about the technical stuff but the best explanation I can give you is in a music or a movie, there's an effect wherein you can here a sound only at the left ear phone/speaker that you cant hear at the right earphone/speaker. I mean for example in a song, a guitar intro can be heared only at the left
ear while the background music plays on the other ear. Or when theres and echo effect on the song that alternates sound on the left and right ear. I hope youre getting what Im trying to say. Im bothered that my ipod is fake or has an internal problem on the chips or something because I didnt bought this at an Apple Center/Mac Center. I bought it on a retailer. I am not able to visit any store or Genius Bar or contact an apple specialist through phone because of my work schedule and work load. I have contacted the retailer before when I tried to return it for replacement or repair but he told me that it is under Apple's warranty, not theirs. I do hope that I can get a help from you because I want to really enjoy my device. Thank you and Im looking forward for the responce/assistance form you.I suggest you don't apply pressure to the screen - it's a Touch - you touch the screen not push it.

What is required to use the video composite out on the iPhone 4 The left and right audio works ok
Please not that the iPhone uses mono channel for internal speakers, the other path that you see is not the speaker per say. It is the phone microphone. Try using headphones, you will hear both channels. If the problem still persists when using headphones, check your sound balancing in the settings. Go to setting-general-accessibility scroll down and check the slide under mono audio. It should be put at the centre for you to hear both channels ON YOUR HEADPHONES

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

fixed mathscript formula to sound test.vi 680 KBSorry 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)

The VCD dramas that i bought consist of left and right audio that are of different language. Is there any program that i can use to convert the whole movie into mp4 movie with just one language ?
thanksSelect the clip in the timeline and open the audio tab in the inspector. Under the audio configuration label click the drop down arrow at the right and change stereo to dual mono. Go back to the timeline and right click the clip and select expand audio components. You can them change the volume of the two audios independently. After adjustment right click the clip again and choose collapse audio components.

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 SettingMb - 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 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 combine Left and Right audio?
Hi,
When I record video, one lapel mic records to the left channel and the other records to the right channel in one audio track. I can't seem to figure out how to combine them within Premiere Pro (I've already attempted searching the forums for more info). I know in Sony Vegas you can right click the single audio track and select "Combine" and it will combine the 2 channels so that when people watch the end product you have both voices coming out of both speakers.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kelly G.Hello,
Yes i have the same issue.
I use the duplicate Audio track and fill left and right all the time.
when i am doing Interview videos i usually have one person on channel 1 and the other on channel 2 and it comes out as L and R in Premiere.
Today i was shooting with myself on Channel 2 and a shotgun for some ambient sound on channel 1.
In Vegas or FCP 7 there is a simple effect to drag and drop called " Combine" that nicely combines the L and R channels each into stereo.
I used to use it quite a bit and think it would be a great addition to Premiere Pro.
So i am wondering several years since this was first post if Premiere does in fact now have this option...and where it might be that i over looked it?
If not.....is there an easier way to do this than the fill left and right method?
Thanks so Much!

I have a video clip that has two different sound track on each channel, one on right channel and one on left channel. So when I play normal both sound track come up on the same time. In Window platform, I can change the speaker output into either left/right to isolate one channel, but how can I do this in Mac OS? I tried the one in system preference, it didn't work, when I switch it to right channel, it just played both sound track from the right speaker, but not isolating the right sound track. Please help.
In your Applications/utilities folder is a program called AudioMIDI setup.
Just move the slider of the channel you want to mute. -
Isolating left and right Headphone chann
Here is an excerpt from a recent email that I have sent to Creative tech support. I wanted to go ahead and put it out into the forums in case anyone else was having a similar issue.
-Creative Model Number: SB0350, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
-Serial Number: MSB03505500027K
-I purchased the soundcard from Newegg as an OEM card. It was shipped to me in a static bag with the driver installation disk.
-I currently have "Logitec Z-2300 speakers" plugged into my sound cards "Line out " jack.
-I don't know what an external decoder is and so I don't believe that I have one.
I have double checked that my onboard sound is disabled, and it is. I have had it disabled in the bios now even through a couple of windows reformats so I doubt that it's an issue.
In the device manager the sound card appears to be functioning properly and the IRQ is NOT shared with any other devices.
I have checked and double checked each suggestion just to make sure that I have covered all of my bases.
I have however discovered a few more things that have boggled my mind. Like I metioned before, the sound from the 2. system is perfect, the channels isolate from right
to left and I have no problems with it whatsoever. The Logitech Z-2300 speakers that I am using have a small satelite/volume control that has a headphone jack in it. The sound becomes
extremely distorted when I plug headphones into either this jack or directly into the soundcards "Line out". Which leads me to believe that it isn't necessarily the speaker setup.
One interesting that that I DID notice however, is that the distortion from my headphones goes away if I manipulate the volume in the "Creative Surround Mixer". Regardless of what setting
I have my speakers set to (headphones, 2., 5.) this problem is the same. I have noticed that within the "Creative Surround Mixer", in the advanced tab where you can adjust the "Left" or "Right"
channel of your speakers, that if I lower the left completely and keep the right volume full then the sound becomes perfect. It works the other way as well, if I lower the right volume level and keep
the left level at full volume then the sound becomes clear in the same manner. Now, this is a temporary fix and I can use this for the time being, but I still cannot Isolate each channel from the other.
When just my Logitech speakers are connected I hear the left channel from the left side and the right from the right. When using the headphones I hear the "Left" in both side simultaneously,
and the same with the "Right" channel. I want to resolve this issue so that I can utilize the positional audio that this card has given me in the past. I know that the headphones are not at fault
becuase I have tried with two separate pairs of them. It seems like the channels are crossing/interfering with each other somehow and I'm not saavy enought to solve this problem. Thank you
for your continuing effort with this issue.The issue is still there. I'm not entirely certain what I am supposed to be checking for but the problem remains. Regardless of the settings that I change within the TRAKTOR player it still seems to exhibit the interferance. I just recieved a letter back from creative tech support telling me that they could not help because the item is OEM.
"Along with the OEM often comes an agreement regarding the support, use
and service of the product. This agreement may place these support
services in the hands of the manufacturer or in the hands of the company
that purchases the product from the manufacturer. At times, support is
placed in the hands of a third party brought into the agreement."
I feel that this is a cop-out. I doubt that newegg is going to have a solution to my problem. I am using the driver disk that came with my hardware and I can't possibly be the only person that is experiencing this kind of erradic behavior. I am frustrated mostly because this was never an issue for me in the past, a month ago everything worked fine.
Could it be possible that there are other hardware/software/drivers that I may have installed that could be effecting my headphones in this manner?
Is it time to reformat?

Switching Left and Right stereo tracks
I have a stereo audio recording that needs the left channel switch to the right and right switch to the left. Is there an easy way to do this?
I think I found the solution by using the "Direction Mixer" plugin.

Left and right audio channels in clips not balanced.
One is louder than the other. How do I make them the same or is it a problem with how it came in? They are in stereo mode but the waveform shows one lower than the other.

Go back to the timeline and right click the clip and select expand audio components. You can them change the volume of the two audios independently.
