Left channel is identical to right channel - X-Fi MusicExtr

Iam quite desperated, as described in the topic if i test my speakers within AudioConsole, the left und right channel are 00% the same. Backleft, -right and front are working perfect! Connections are fine

I have the same problem. This is really frustrating as I need this sound card to function as I have connected my Xbox 360 on the external Optical Outputs for "Surround" sound which I am not getting.
I have updated it to the most current drivers hoping this would be resolved but nothing. I have checked all my speakers as well and tried a different sound card where everything works fine except that does not have optical input.
Please if there is any way to fix this problem.

Very Basic, need to copy right channel to the left channel.

My first time in this forum, i checked the FAQ and did a small search.
I sent a stereo mix from FCP as an 'Audio File Project' (not multitrack) to Soundtrack Pro. I want to copy the left channel to the right channel (replacing the right channel) so both channels have the same signal.
I've worked in many audio programs and it seems Soundtrack Pro just doesn't have the universal workflows as most (wavlab, audition, pro tools). When working with Stereo files I can't figure out how to isolate one channel at a time.
Thanks for your time!

Under the process menu you find Convert to Mono, the dialog that follows lets you choose which channel to use (or to combine them).
What's maybe confusing you is that the process creates a single file, instead of what you're expecting - a stereo file with identical information left and right.
In STP (and I'm sure in FCP as well) if you place a mono file on a track (pan it to the middle) and then export, the file it will produce will be a 2 channel mono file. So you just need to take another step to get where you want.

I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

See the following thread on the same topic:
2 Thunderbolt displays MBP = sound coming from both displays?

Problem with the right and left Channel

Hey Guys,
i bought a few days ago the X-Fi Titanium PCIe Card. Now my problem:?
After i installed the drivers i noticed that i can hear the sounds of the left speaker also in the right speaker of my Headphone (Sennheiser PC60). I made a channel test and here the same. The guy sais "Left Channel" and i hear it on both speakers. The same with the right channel.
I made a clean restart and uninstalled all Drivers and Applications and reinstalled them: -> Same problem
I made a clean Windows installation (Vista x64): -> Same problem
i tried the Daniel_K-Driver: -> Same problem
Have someone an idea to solve that problem?
greets

When Soundbooth was first developed, it had a few extra things than what were not available in Audition. However, Audition remained the more high end sound editing tool. Soundbooth was locked to a multiple channel editing approach. In Audition, single editing is easy - you simply click the L or R at the right end of the sound channel to lock it and then you can edit the other channel only.
Soundbooth has been discontinued and Audition now has taken its place from CS6 to the Creative Cloud.
The above is some background info. To your current situation, you can use a workaround like:
* Export your audio file to separate channels by File > Export > Channels to mono files.
You will get 2 files with _L and _R suffix.
You can then edit them separately. You can go from Mono to Stereo by the following step.
Or
* Choose - Edit > Insert > Channels into New Multitrack file.
That will separate the Left and Right Channels and add them to a new multitrack file.
You can then click the Edit link at the top right of the channel to edit it.
You can then save that file as a new audio file.

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?

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.

Premiere Elements 13 (not Pro), recorded a video with mono mic input (left channel only), need to create 2-channel (left and right) audio track for finished product. 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.

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?

Audio Input on the Left Channel is fine, Right Channel, Not So Much...

Okay, so I'm attempting to record some audio into my eMac using it's 3.5mm Line Input Jack, but Sound Studio is telling me that all of the audio is coming out of the left channel.
I checked balance, it's a new cable that works fine otherwise, the device I'm recording from sounds fine on headphones.
Any suggestions?

Hmm. I think someone more technically-inclined with audio could help you out here. I tried recording audio on my eMac with QuickTime Player (I'm not sure if you need QuickTime Pro to do this, otherwise I would suggest you try the same thing). I have a similar experience as you. The QuickTime A/V window (control-K) informs me that the audio balance is shifted completely to the right channel (rather than left, as you observe in Sound Studio). And there is no way to adjust this, it is also "greyed out". This QuickTime recording is through the built-in microphone on my eMac. Might there exist (pricier) external microphones that are specifically capable of stereo recording? Or perhaps our eMacs aren't capable of stereo recording, at least without hardware modifications. I don't know. Clearly, I'm ignorant about this. Perhaps there is a Discussion going on somewhere else around here that is more Audio-specific?

Routing left channel to left and right

I have a split-track audio file I have brought into Logic Pro 8, with instrumental accompaniment in the left channel, and voices in the right. I would like to have the left channel appear in both the left and right channels in the final mixdown. Is there a simple way to accomplish this in Logic?
Thanks!
Brian

If you click and hold onto the interleaved symbol at the bottom of the channelstrip a small menue opens giving you the option to set the stereo channel to "mono" - "left" - "right" and "surround". So set it to "left" for the channel carrying the playback and then just use the pan pot to pan the channel where you want it to be in your final mix (center by default).

How do I share / unlink the right and left channel, so I can work with them individually ?

I use "Adobe Sound Booster CS5"
I have a stereo soundtrack, which I only want to remove noise in only one channel (right).

Using the Sony CX550VE to import 1080p-Files the right channel it louder then the left channel. Using iMovie everything is fine. Do you know this problem?

FinalCutProx 10.03 (test version): Using the Sony CX550VE to import 1080p-Files the right channel is louder then the left channel. Using iMovie everything is fine, both channels are leveled correctly. Do you know this problem?

Thanks Tom, that did the trick. Appreciate your help and love your DVD and style. Cheers.

ITunes reversing right/left channels on import

Hi there-
Currently running iTunes 11.4 on a MacBook Pro OS 10.8.5. When I import audio into iTunes, the resultant files have their left and right channels reversed from what they are on the original source. It doesn't matter what format of audio files are imported. I don't understand what would cause this. Is there a bug possibly? Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks in advance-

Yes, that would work fine. As the two channels were split by Pinnacle (wonder why it does that?), from the camera, they should Snap into place and be in sync, especially being WAV. The mix-down will be done automatically upon Export/Share. Same for mix-downs of any other Audio sources, like music, or SFX on other Audio Tracks.
Now, just to make sure that you are getting what was originally recorded, open up Audio Mixer, and if necessary, Pan the Left Channel more to the left, and the Right Channel more to the right. Do not be temped to Pan them all the way in either direction, as you want some phantom center, and that comes from a touch of left in the right, and a touch of right in the left. Most Audio editors prefer working with pure mono sources, as they can then locate them, as needed in the mix-down. I feel that way about 6-channel Audio - give me 6 discrete channels, and let me work with those.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to balance the right/left channel of a single audio file?

Hi, this might be an easy procedure but I cannot wrap my head around the following problem - an audio file, that I use as background music in one of my sequences, has uneven right and left channels - they need to be leveled.
How can i do this in PrPro or Soundbooth? I prefer to edit the channel levels of the original file before importing it into my composition. I work with CS5. So far, I've managed to level the R/L chanels by using the 'Balance' knob in the ProP "Audio Mixer" tab . The problem with this method is that the balnce knob adjust the balance of all audio files sitting on the same sound track, whereas I need to adjust the balance of only one of them. Many thanks.

There is a Balance effect as well.

If I have audio coming from left channel. How do I make same audio Left and Right?

Hi there,
I've recorded some footage with a mono mic and it recorded the audio on the left channel of the audio. In FCP. I placed this audio clip as a part of a multi-cam clip but the sound is only coming out the left. Is there a way to set this audio to mono or to make them play the same levels through the left and right channels?
Thanks,
Caleb

Wow! 30 Seconds later, I figured it out. LOL
Under Inspector for audio, you just click on channel configuration, click on channel and use "Dual Mono" mode. Thanks Caleb!

Push two audio tracks to Right and Left channels...How?

I have two stereo tracks. One is interview sound and the other is a bed of music. My client has asked that I write to tape with the interview pushed to the left channel and the music to the right. How do I best do that?
Thanks.

just to clarify Kip's option #2
open the Sequence Settings (Cmd-0) for your edit, and select the Audio Outputs tab ... there you should change the grouping from "Stereo" to "Dual Mono", then click OK
if you're only working with 2 channels, and are simply switching from stereo to dula mono then that should do it...
...but if you want to check (or swap output channels or other fancy footwork) then in the timeline, control-click the Auto Selects button on track A1 and in the popup menu look at the Audio Outputs submenu ... thats where you can select to which channel you want to send the audio track
