LPX - Two Mono Busses as Stereo pair?

I do this all the time in LP-9
It's a quick way to setup parallel processing ...
or have total control over a stereo Mic'ed track.
The icons and choices look like they should work!
(stereo left for bus1 and stereo right for bus2)
... but no ... they don't
Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks

Just put the clips into a timeline and change them to stereo pair Opt-L. You can put them back in the canvas after that. No need to recompress.

Possible to Join Two Mono Tracks to Stereo, Or Change Panning of a Stereo?

In the new Garage Band 11, is it possible to Join Two Mono Tracks to Stereo, or Change the Panning of a Stereo track, or split a stereo track into two mono files?
Sometimes it would be convenient when I have a lot of tracks to combine two mono tracks into one stereo track to eliminate an additional track.
Also, I find that I often want to change the panning of a stereo track to either make it wider, or merge the two channels, even reverse L&R. If no way to change the panning of a stereo track can a stereo track be split into two mono tracks to be panned differently?

only by exporting the two tracks
or Change the Panning of a Stereo track
you can pan a stereo track in every version of GB with the pan knob
or split a stereo track into two mono files?

that's different. no, you'd have to split the track into two mono files as described above.
even reverse L&R.

Two mono tracks - one stereo

How could I join two mono tracks (wav pcm) to one stereo without quality loss using ST Pro 2.0? If there is no good way to do this, could you recommend something, that can. Thanks

Not sure what you mean by joining 2 files, but if you export as the same bitdepth and samplerate and leave the faders at 0 VU there shouldn't be any quality loss.

Mono tracks into stereo

I am using commnad L to link two mono tracks into stereo.
The two tracks are of the same video material.
I need them linked so I can edit them in a smooth manner but when selcted and using the command L fuction they are not linked.
How can I fix this?

You want to make the two audio tracks a Stereo Pair, by selecting them on the timeline and the using Option-L.

How to make two mono audio tracks into a stereo pair?

My video clip, brought over into Premiere CS6 from Final Cut Pro 5, has the usual left and right audio tracks, but in Premiere they are not linked into a stereo pair. Thus the volume level has to be adjusted separately in each track.
In Final Cut, I can quickly convert two independent audio tracks into a stero pair by selecting the tracks and then going to the menu Modify > Stereo Pair. I can't figure out how to do this in Premiere.
When two audio tracks are not linked, the volume level has to be adjusted separately in each track, which wastes time. But after two tracks are linked into a Stereo Pair in Final Cut, adjusting either track adjusts them both, together. That's what I want to do now in Premiere.
So, how do I make two separate audio tracks into a linked Stereo Pair in Premiere?

Hi Tom,

I used to think like you do. These aren't workarounds, per se. The issue is that Premiere Pro is a different program, so you have to approach some things slightly differently.
Actually, Premiere Pro's audio capability is more like a DAW than Final Cut was, and more powerful too, so if you know that workflow it makes more sense. A lot of FCP people don't have training in programs like ProTools or Audition, so it's more difficult for folks like yourself (and me, too) to catch on. Once you learn it, though, you begin to see its power.
Tom77 wrote:

In Premiere Pro CC, you can link and unlink audio and video tracks with a keyboard shortcut for "Linked Selection." You have to create it in your Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box, but it works just like the one in FCP. Make it Shift + L if you like.

Not to mention the fact that I can have as many projects open in Final Cut as I want, and copy and paste between them. Each open project becomes a tab on the timeline, and I can jump beween projects by just clicking on their tabs. I was shocked when I tried to open two projects in Premiere to find that it only allows one at a time to be open. That seems really primitive--
Again, you can achieve what you want (copying and using items from other projects), you just have to go about it differently. All you do is navigate to the other project files in the Media Browser and import items that you need in this fashion. So, no, you don't have more than one project open at a time, but you got what you wanted, stuff from another projects in your current project. That works for me, anyway.
Again, Premiere Pro is a different program. You can achieve the same goals, but sometimes have to go about it differently. Some things are faster, some slower. Some are easier to learn, some harder. Hopefully, you see my point.
I need video generators to make arrows, circles, squares, etc. and transitions such as edge wipes and clock wipes to animate them, all to point out and emphasize things that I'm demonstrating and explaining in my videos. Premiere has no such generators, nor are there any third-party plug-ins available to add them, that I've been able to find.
Do you know about the Titler? It has a lot of useful shapes. You can also create shapes in After Effects and Photoshop and import them. The shapes you make in those programs can look a lot better than the stock FCP effects.
There are lots of third party effects, some that have generators. Check out Boris Continuum, FX Factory, CoreMelt, Film Impact, and more.
There are pitifully few transitions in Premiere at all (the Mac version) compared to Final Cut.
I'm really not a transitions person, and I find the FCP transitions looking tired anyway. The only one I really need is a white flash and I can either create it, or use a third party flash effect. If you need cool, modern transitions, check out Film Impact or the other third party plug in foundries I mentioned. There is an Edge Wipe transition, called "Wipe." If you need feathering, check out the Wipe Effect, which you can keyframe to look like a transition.
More and more I would like to be moving completely into Premiere, but I keep running into these inadequacies in the program, these roadblocks, for my purposes at least.
The more you work with it, the less you'll be working with FCP. That's what most people are saying anyway. Sure, there are minor annoyances associated with learning a new app, but you also take the good along with it. I suggest you just dive right in. It may take longer at first, but you can get your speed up in time.
I have no doubt that sometime in the future Premiere will become everything that I want it to be, and at that time I can finally abandon Final Cut for good, as I wish I could do right now.
I also came from FCP, taught FCP for nearly a decade, wrote a book about FCP, help start the first FCPUG, worked at Apple on two versions of FC Studio, so I do know what you are going through. Just keep at it and keep posting here. I'll be glad to help you with any workarounds or confusion related to moving over from FCP.
Thanks,
Kevin

How can I export 6 mono tracks and a one track two channel stereo pair in a quicktime as separate tracks?

I'm using Premiere Pro CC 2014 (8.1) and need to export a 5.1 mix as well as the stereo tracks as 7 separate tracks in a quicktime. If I select 8 channels it automatically creates 8 tracks. Also, if I export the the seventh stereo track as mono track won't it play mono?
Thanks in advance for nay help you can offer.
-Sam

Hi Richard and Kevin.
First of all thanks so much for the response and info. Just to clarify, you're saying I will need 8 tracks, 2 of which will be designated for the stereo pair, right? My concern is that I'm supposed to deliver only 7 tracks. They want the stereo pair as separate channels on one track. I'm wondering if I can create a one track stereo pair and put it on a stereo track, then export only the seven mono tracks (plus an empty track). Would the stereo still work?
Thanks for the link to the previous post. I had actually read it and though it was helpful in explaining how to set up the audio tracks I was still confused about the export.
Much thanks,
Sam

Stereo to two monos

I've tried to find this function but I couldn't find it. How can I split a stereo audio file on a stereo audio track into two monos so that I can route the left signal to one bus and the right to another?

Thank you very much. By the way, what does I/O buffer size in Preference>Audio do? What's the advantage/disadvantage of having it small or large?
This is another question??
you should be open a new post... in order that other user.... anyway...
Are you talking about _"Small-Large buffer"_ so the correct thern is *"Buffer Process Range Setting"*
this is related with the multiple 32 bit floating point audio engines inside Logic...
Process buffer is connected between _Audio and Software Instrument Tracks_ and AUX/BUS Channel strip section...
Process buffer set as Small reduce the latency that occours when you use a Buss for use FX such as Space Designer...
*But Small setting increase the CPU power request.*
if you set Buffer process setting as Large the latency will be higher *but less CPU processing power will be required*
This buffer can be also helpful for reduce the CPU power on slower Machin such as G4/G5 or Macbook and iMac in soma cases.
(on the new Nehalem this must be set as Small and... should be a great advantage if in the next release this setting should be smaller... because the RAM DDR3 at 5GHZ without front buss side is very faster and requires to be reduced over than actual *Small setting*!!!!)
*The Buffer Processing setting is strictly related with PDC setting*
and The CPU-RAM speed
When PDC is set to ALL the live recording latency will be = Buffer sample size + Buffer processing Range size...
So that is why I always suggest to avoid to use PDC set to ALL when recording/tracking
+Anyway your additional question is OUT Thread... a new post should be opened.+

Split Stereo to Two Mono Tracks - Need Help

We're having trouble with STP working with two non-stereo tracks.
We have footage that we're editing in Final Cut Pro that was captured with two separate mics providing the audio. (A wireless lav and a shotgun.) The sequence is set up with two mono tracks.
When sending the project to SoundTrack Pro, it's opened up as a pair of stereo tracks. We cannot find a way to edit just one of the tracks without it affecting both at the same time.
How can we separate the tracks so they can be tweaked individually and then sent back to Final Cut Pro?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

...and when doing that, make sure when you export, you don't fall over one of the many bugs in STP:
You will probably find that the clip with the right channel selected actually plays the left channel after being exported (sound fine on the timeline - problem only on the exported file).
The solution is to
1) duplicate the stereo file and place on new track (as suggested)
2) select left channel on first clip (control/right click the file)
3) select second clip and swap the L and R channels around (Process-> swap channels)
4) select left channel on first clip (control/right click the file)
Oh the joys of STP!

Convert two mono tracks into one stereo?

I've imported a clip from my DV camera into Final Cut. For whatever reason, the clip audio is two mono tracks rather than one stereo track. Is there a way for me to convert this to a stereo track after the import?
Thanks very much,
Greg
G5 Dual 2.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Select both clips in the Timeline, then go to Modify->Stereo Pair (Option L). But if both clips contain the same audio information, it won't really be stereo ... just two tracks panned left & right.
If you want the audio to come in as stereo when you capture next time, make sure that you have the Capture settings for the audio set to "stereo."

Capturing Two Mono Channels and Not Stereo Channels

For the first time, I'm shooting footage with audio on two individual mono channels (on two separate XLR inputs). All are camera settings are correct, however, when I capture in Final Cut Express, it captures the audio as linked stereo (LR) channels, not two mono channels.
Anyone know what could be wrong?
Big thanks!

There's nothing wrong. When you connect a mic to each of the 2 inputs on your camcorder, your camera records the audio as 1 stereo pair, and FCE captures it that way from your camcorder.
In FCE, you can either pan each channel totally to its Left or Right side; or you can separate the stereo pair into 2 independent audio tracks. You may still want to pan each channel to get the sound you want.

Making two mono tracks from one stereo track?

I've used the M-Audio MobilePre USB device to record vocal and guitar at the same time. In GarageBand, this inputs as one track, with guitar on the left channel and vocal on the right.
I'd like to separate this one stereo track into two mono tracks for further mixing and editing.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks!

How to put two mono tracks into the usual stereo view in Edit view of Audition 3 ?

Hi guys,
Previously I have had no issues simply using Adobe Audition 3 for simple stereo recording and editing of a stereo feed taken from a mixer... well nearly no issues.... :-)
Today, I'm having a bad day or else it's because I'm getting used to being retired.. :-) ......
Query : How do I put two mono tracks into the usual stereo view in Edit view so they both display correctly there?
Put simply I have two mono wav files. Let's call them Left_wav and Right_wav.
I cannot seem to get them imported into a new clean Edit view (Normal stereo track layout) so that Left_wav is on the top half and Right_wav is on the bottom half.
Whenever I try, I just get either Left_wav or Right_wav taking up the whole of the edit view. i.e. it just shows one track.
Can anyone familiar with Audition 3 kindly help? I'd appreciate a simple step by step... I just can't see where I've been going wrong, and it's driving me bananas :-).
Thanks

There are various ways to do this in Audition 3. here's one.
Open both mono files separately in Edit view. Then convert Left_wav to Stereo by going to Edit/Convert Sample Type and under Channels select Stereo with Left Mix at 100% and Right Mix at 0%. This will give you a new stereo file with Left_wav on the top channel. Next go to the Right_wav and copy to the clipboard using Edit/Copy. Return to your new stereo file and enable Edit Right channel only in Edit/Edit Channel/Edit Right Channel. Then make sure that the cursor is at start of the stereo file and Paste Right_wav into the bottom channel of the new stereo file. Finally Save As.

How to SPLIT ONE STEREO TRACK'S L & R CHANNELS INTO TWO MONO CHANNELS

Does anyone know if this is possible: How to SPLIT ONE STEREO TRACK'S L & R CHANNELS INTO TWO MONO CHANNELS? There's got to be a way, but I just can't find out how.
I recorded a podcast -- me and a guest, with each mic going to its own mono channel. When I opened it in Audition it mixed them into one stereo channel.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best,
Shawn

You're a big help! Thanks very much. Simple yet I must be going blind because I didn't see that in the menu.
Take care and THANKS AGAIN.

Stereo -- two mono tracks

hello!
I had a question about importing a stereo track. I'm in a stereo multitrack right now, and open a stereo track in that, but
I'm still not sure how to split the stereo track into two mono tracks.
Right now it's just playing on the Left side of the headphone. How do I get it so that there are two tracks - one on top of the other?
Help?
Thank you for bearing with my training wheels here!
Best,
Trail

I'm not sure why you want to do this. If you put a stereo track into a stereo session, then it will play in stereo. If you want to alter the relative left and right levels of the track, you use the Pan control in the mixer. If you can't hear both channels, then you need to check the mixer's master output options (where it says Default output at the top) and make sure that you have a stereo option selected - if you don't have this selected properly, you'll definitely only hear one channel.

IMX with two stereo pairs audio setting?

Hello.
I am trying to build a Compressor preset to export from 1080i ProRes, two stereo pairs, to PAL IMX, same audio setup. I can do it within FCP7 and FCPX, but I'd like to be able to build the Compressor setting as well. So far I can only build the destination file with one stereo pair. Any help?
Thank you and best regards
Fabrizio D'Agnano

OK, I've found a workaround following a tip from Jeremy Garchow at Creative Cow. If the clip to be converted has the two stereo pairs, you can create your own IMX setting in Compressor choosing "audio pass through" in the audio settings in the inspector window.
