Mix Sequence to dual mono tracks.

I have a project - the client needs that both AUDIO channels will be the same.
What should I do?
I tried to send to a MONO submix - but no change on master channels.
WHAT TO DO?

It works the same in CS4.

Convert dual mono tracks to stereo in Audition CC

How do I convert dual mono tracks to stereo in Audition CC please?

Sorry, but your intentions here aren't clear.
Do you have two mono signals on one stereo track, or are you talking about two separate mono tracks that should be stereo, and you want them as a single stereo track?
With the latter, open one file and copy it to the clipboard. Open the other file, and use Edit>Convert Sample Type to convert it to 'stereo' (really dual mono). Select just the side you want to replace, highlight it and hit Delete - this should leave your original file on one channel, and nothing on the other. Place the cursor at the start of the empty section and paste the clipboard contents here. Save the result. You now have a stereo file.
If you have a dual mono file and you want some stereo ambience on it, then have a look at SHEPPi. This does a remarkably good job of that on mono files!
There are several other ways of doing file combining - you could do it quite easily in Multitrack mode, and there are also some utilities around that will do it directly for you - although you could easily be forgiven for being completely unaware of them, because generally they are used for reorganising multi-channel Broadcast Wav files, and don't show up using a simple search term.

Combining dual mono tracks into single stereo

I may be brain dead about this and since I have been recording a client all day--a non-pro doing a VO--I am. I may not be using the search function very well either here or in the manual.
I am working on a 27 minute film segment in Logic exported from FCP using the XML function. Mostly that has gone well but is by no means plug and play. It is very cool to have the project based in Logic and be able to do all my audio and music in one environment to HD picture.
My quandary is this: I would like all of my dual mono tracks from FCP to appear as a single stereo track in LP8. Is it possible to "collapse" two tracks into one with out exporting, reimporting them and then re-syncing possibly?
This is a confusing project and the more I can simplify my organization the easier my life will be.
Thanks, eab

One easy way to treat the two mono tracks as one for editing a so forth would perhaps be to assign them both to the same Group. That way all edits, automation and such will be applied to both tracks.

Multichannel audio downmix monitoring / "Map to Dual Mono" disengages when working with another sequence

I typically like to edit with multichannel / mono audio channels, but monitor audio with regular speakers by way of downmixing. I found the useful "Map to Dual Mono' button in the audio track mixer which allows one to monitor all the split channels mixed. The problem I've encountered is when I switch from the multichannel sequence I'm working in over to a regular sequence with other audio settings, and then go back to the multichannel sequence that I started with. When I do this, the "Map to Dual Mono" button disengages, and I'm not able to monitor the audio in the mixed way I'd like. After pressing the "Map to Dual Mono" button, everything's o.k. again.
Is there a way that once the "Map to Dual Mono" button is activated, that it stays activated, without having to re-press it again and again?
Here's a video description of my audio monitoring question: Adobe PP CC downmix disengages - YouTube

mmmm this is an odd one... the only thing I can think of is that you are changing these clips once they're in the timeline. It's done with a keyboard shortcut: option+L... it will change a dual mono track to a stereo pair. You can change these files back though... typing opt+l toggles the condition back and forth.

Dual Mono Audio Mysteriously Changes to Stereo When Match Framed - Why????

Hello everyone,
I am having a very unusual problem with the audio on my project, which I'm working on in FCP 5.1.2. All of the audio was captured as dual mono (channel 1 + channel 2), and yet when I match frame the audio clip from the sequence it shows up in the viewer as stereo, panned to -1. When I double-check the source clip in the bin, it is dual mono panned to 0, as it should be. Also, the clips mysteriously seem to pan -1 in the timeline occasionally, even on sections that were verified as being correct in timeline previously.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and any solutions?
Thank you so much,
mynaah

6 mono tracks to 5.1

Often when working in 5.1 surround you are presented with 6 mono L, R, SL,SR, C, LFE tracks to use. In the current and previous versions of Premiere, although there is an easy way to route the 5 main tracks, there is not a easy way to route the LFE. There are a few ways to do this but the technique I prefer is as follows:
Create a sequence with 7 mono tracks and a 5.1 master track
Add the mono files as follows:
Then set up the track mixer like this. Keep all the faders at zero
Note the joystick panning and the Centre and LFE send controls. Use the Invert audio effect in track 7.
Then export the sequence as a 'Polywav' 5.1 file. This can then be used in Premiere as a single audio track.
If you want to change any of the levels of the individual tracks add the 'volume' effect to the new 5.1 wav file.
Hope this might be of some use.

This is a great trick, thanks!!

Transcoding XDCAM from stereo to dual mono

I'm actually using Compressor at the moment, but am trying to convert HDV clips shot in stereo into XDCAM HD clips that will support write-back to my PDW-U1. But the U1 only supports "dual mono" audio, not stereo. I'm looking at the audio tab in my Compressor settings, and don't see such an option. I'm currently running tests, but has anyone found a way to create supported audio for write-back to XDCAM devices?
Chris.

Panning the audio to the center does not work for me. Once you choose Dual Mono, a single track will be either left or right depending on which track it's on. I worked around this by making a new sequence with "Dual Mono" as the audio output. I then dragged the original HDV sequence into that timeline and my single channel-1 audio channel now comes from both speakers. But it's not stereo. Its Dual Mono. I wrestled with this into the wee hours and this was the only work around I could find to output a show to XDCAM without the audio being messed up.
Somebody needs to seriously get to work on fixing this problem. Many broadcasters are now accepting XDCAM as a submission format. This is great, but it has some serious drawbacks as it sits right now.

FCPX Dual Mono vs Stereo question

Hi everybody - I've been busy but recently on the Zumiez show I came out of it with a question:
I like to route each of my AJA KiPro ISO records two separate channels of audio, I send a line-feed to CH. 1 (left) and I run a NAT mic feed to CH.2, (right). If I bring the captures into FCPX, for example to create short lifts, I want the producer to be able to choose between the line feed or the ambient mic, so I leave them as "Stereo", but it isn't really a stereo track. I needed to adjust the levels, raise the line level and lower the mic level, but I can't do that unless I designate "Dual Mono". When I designate Dual Mono, I can adjust the levels seperately and even apply filters indivisually, but then the channels are summed mono.
How do you keep stereo seperation on two individual tracks and still be able to make individual adjustments? Or maybe another way to the same goal; can I set hard pans on a pair of Dual Mono tracks?
Thanks for any help! -Stephen

5.1 mix for blu-ray from 6 mono tracks

Hi there,
I'm not too well versed in creating 5.1 mixes at the moment. Here's the project I've set out to do...
I currently have a 1hr 45min Apple Pro Res video with six mono tracks intended for a 5.1 mix for Blu-ray and DVD authoring. All six channels are in the order they should be in for 5.1 (i.e. 1st track LEFT, 2nd track RIGHT, 3rd track CENTRE, etc.). I'm just having difficulty in bringing the file back into Premiere and exporting it for Blu-ray H264 setting with the 5.1 mix functioning properly.
Please advise,
Mike

I'm a bit late coming to this thread.
As Jim says the problem with Premiere is that you can't just send a track to the LFE.
One work around that I use-
Put the LFE mono track on 2 tracks in your sequence. Send one track to centre and LFE and the other track just send to centre BUT put the invert audio effect on that track. This will cancel out the feed to the centre just leaving the LFE.

Exporting 6 channel discrete mono tracks (5.1 mix) I only get 2 tracks with compressed audio and 4 empty track on my output.

Exporting 6 channel discrete mono tracks (5.1 mix) I only get 2 tracks with compressed audio and 4 empty track on my output. I'm using Premiere Pro CC14, sequence settings and export setting pasted below. Please help need to export feature trailer for iTunes release next week. Yikes!!!

Thanks for the notes. Im almost there but not quite. I create my sequence 5.1 like you said
then map the dots and LFE. But when I go export media is only give me the option of 1 track 5.1 not 6 discrete channels.
I check my settings and they LOOK right
then I go into my modify clip settings and I see the number of audio tracks as 1 so maybe thats why Im getting only 1 channel 5.1.
But when I select different settings in modify clip environment I can get it to LOOK correct to me
everything seems to be assigned correctly. But when I go back to export it only still gives me the same option of exporting with 5.1 as a single track.

Any way to get split mono tracks in a Multicam Sequence?

I have video from 4 different cameras which I'm trying to sync as a Multicamera clip.
They sync great, but the audio mapping is not how I want it.
All the cameras recorded 2 separate audio channels, but they appear upon import in Premiere as Stereo.
So I did Modify>Audio Channels and set them to 2 Mono. Great.
But when I sync them, the resulting Multicam Source Sequence reverts to showing them all as Stereo tracks.
I tried all the different "Audio Channel Presets" in the "Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence" dialog, to no avail.
I want to be able to access both of the channels from all 4 cameras (i.e., 8 separate channels).
Any ideas?

In other words ... what I get is a sequence with 4 video tracks and 4 STEREO audio tracks.
What I WANT to get is 4 video tracks and EIGHT mono audio tracks

Replacing stereo mix with original mono tracks in edited program

Hi there,
I've edited a 2 minute program with the stereo mixdown of 6 lapel mics on 6 different speakers. I'm now finishing the project and am wanting to isolate each speaker's audio, but can't seem to figure out how to do this. Using the Replace edit function loses my ins and outs.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

You may enjoy the new Source ch mapping in CS3.
IF you clip is stereo with one voice in the lft and another voice in the right ch, BEFORE importing it change you preferences thusly:
Edit > Preferences > Audio Set Source CH mapping to Mono.
Import your clip.
Drag it to the timeline and you will see it will be two linked mono tracks.
That is a global method.
To do an individual audio clip:
Import it and before you put it on the timeline; select it in the bin and choose Clip > Audio Options > Source Ch Mapping and set it to Mono. This will accomplish the same thing, except for a single clip.
Re your 2nd question; If you do the above you can use the audio mixer to mix the voices.
I often shoot with a wireless in 1 ch and a shotgun in the other. So these options are quite handy.

Create 2 stereo tracks from 2 mono tracks

If I send a FCP sequence to a STP mulitrack project it opens with a left channel (A) as the on camera mic and the right channel (B) as the wireless mic. Since I want both to come through both channels I assume I should make the edits/corrections on both, then insert 2 new blank tracks. I'll then copy/paste each of the previously mono tracks so I have 2 stereo track, right and left A and right and left B. Does this sound correct or am I missing something here?

No. One work around would be to create a stereo sub mix channel, this would at least give you a single fader but it won't help you when editing. You could try grouping the video and two audio, then they should be easier to select.

Can Compressor downmix from stereo (dual mono) to mono?

Seemingly simple question - when compressing DV/AIFFs to web H.264/AACs, is there a way to downmix from stereo(dual mono) to mono without boosting the level?
I don't care if it just uses the left channel, the right channel, or mixes both together - I just want it not to clip 0dB when it comes out mono. Is there a way to do this in Compressor?
(NOTE: without using the Peak Limiter filter to lower the level, which always seems to cause the job to fail)

I've been editing NLE for over 15 years and have never once used a "mono" track, never felt a need to, and Premiere tracks default to stereo normally, which matches my sources. All delivery is typically stereo anyway, so in the case you have with wanting to use just one mic, the Fill Left or Fill Right works perfectly to "Pan Center" so to speak. Hopefully this will suit your needs. Maybe I have tunnel vision and am not understanding how a mono track is uniquely useful, but always open to learning new things.
In the situation where I might need to switch mic sources from time to time within the same stereo clip, for instance a wedding with a shotgun and wireless lav, I just use the Razor to put cuts in the audio clip where I want to switch. I just alternate applying Fill Left or Fill Right to each cut segment as needed, and throw in an audio crossfade at the cut point for a smooth transition.
If I need to MIX the left and right channels in varying degrees of volume, I will duplicate the stereo track and apply Fill Left to one and Fill Right on the other and this has the same effect as two mono tracks, each centered. There's certainly many ways to accomplish the same thing with almost any aspect of editing and that's just how I do it, not wrong or right really.
Thanks

Convert Dual Mono to Stereo in Timeline?

I don't think there's a solution for this, but I'll ask anyway.
I'm in Premiere Pro CC.
Due, I believe, to the way FCP xml is read, any project I import from FCP, and any sequence I send to PluralEyes and back, has all stereo audio clips split into dual mono. The clips are still linked, are designated L and R, and play back correctly, but it's an organizational pain in the *** to deal with when all of my other clips are correctly in stereo.
Is there any way I can relink/combine/merge the split audio back into a single track? This seems like it would be an easy feature to add, so I don't see why it wouldn't.
Merge Clips and Nest are both greyed out. Under Audio Channels, I can only change the source channels; Channel Format is greyed out.
Thanks.

I've found to way to do this myself.
