Mono Channel

Just want to let everyone know about the problem I had, and how I resolved it. Recently, my iPod 30gig would reset itself while I was scanning through songs on shuffle. I posted on here but no one seemed to know what to do. So I ended up messing with it myself, and noticed the only songs it would restart on were a "mono channel" files.
I'm not sure if this happens with everyone, but you might check if you're having this problem. I went through all of my songs and deleted the ones that were "mono channel" and everything seems to work fine now. iPod will play "stero", "dual stereo", and "joint stereo" files just fine, but "mono" files seem to reset it.
If you're having this same problem, just right click a file, click "Get Info" and then click the "Summary" tab to see what channel the file is.
Hope this helps anyone who's having the same problem.

  • How to output a mono channel

    Does anyone know how to output mono tracks to a single output.
    When I try to output a mono signal, all my outputs are paired i.e. to outputs 1-2, 3-4 etc
    Is is possible (it must surely be!) to do this?

    Just pan the mono track hard left and it will come out of Output 1.
    Pan the other track hard right and it will come out of Output 2.
    That's definitely way to do it. But it points up another missing "Pro" feature from Logic "Pro".
    You should be able to assign a mono channel to a direct mono hardware output.
    I hope if they ever deliver an update to Logic that they will think seriously about adding this and other "standard" features of old school hardware mixers. Then, while they're at it they can work on a dedicated monitor mix, cue and talkback system. Ya know, like we had in the '70's with all that "outdated" technology?
    Sure, you can build many of these things yourself in the environment. That's what we have to do. But that's kinda like selling a mixer without direct outs or talkback and then saying "Sure, but you can build that yourself with a handy dandy soldering iron and some wire!".
    Fingers crossed for version 8.020000001

  • Splitting the 5.1 optical mbp/imac outputs into 6 analog mono channels?

    Hi
    is it possible to use the 6 outputs of the optical output of the macbook pro as separate channels?
    What do I need to convert/split the signals into 6 analog channels and does Logic/Ableton recognizes the 5.1 as 6 mono channels?
    thx!!

    sorry to tell you, but no. This is not possible. The 5.1 optical output is only possible by using a special digital encoding that comes with data reduction: AC3. You can't create AC3 streams without relatively large latencies and without buying rather expensive AC3 authoring software components.
    However, once you have an AC3 stream you can use ac AC3 compatible audio amplifier to convert it to analog signals. Not very feasible imho. The much simpler and less expensive way would be to buy an audio interface with multichannel support.
    Cheers,

  • FCPX 10.1.3 limiter not working for me after choosing a mono channel

    When I try to add a limiter with a -4.5db limit to a mono channel in FCPX 10.1.3 it never works as it should -- usually seems to limit the sound to -12db!
    Any tips for how I can the Limiter this working as it should?
    Under Audio my Channel Configuration shows as stereo for a particular clip.
    Under Channel Configuration, I choose Dual Mono, untick one of the mono channels
    Then I add the Limiter to that clip, set to -4.5db using the Larry Jordan settings from this article http://www.larryjordan.biz/technique-using-the-soundtrack-pro-limiter-filter/

    yes, separate archives. For clearness, here again what I did, step by step:
    1. Inserted the SD-card in my Mac. Opened the import-window. The Camera is listed twice. See the screenshot:
    If I click on the first one (looking like a DSLR), I see the iFrame clip in the browser. If I click the second one (looking like a camcorder), I can see all the AVCHD clips in the browser. Importing clips into an event works fine for both "Cameras".
    2. Clicked on the first one again, then created an camera archive. A white circle behind the camera name shows the process.
    3. Same for the second one. White circle during import, too.
    In both cases, FCPX informed me in the window for the archive's destination, that the archive will be about 18 GB.
    4. waited for a loooooooong time, until the white circles disappeared and the background activity window does show no action any longer.
    5. After that, tried to open the archives in FCPX (this time with favorite-Tab...). In both archives, I can only see the iFrame-Media. Not one of the about 150 AVCHD clips ...
    6. Switched to Finder and examined both archives (opened with "show package content")  Same size (approx.  18.1 GB) and same content. See below:
    7 When I open the AVCHD-subsection of the archive (via show package content), I can see, that in both archives ALL files for the AVCHD content is contained completely in the correct structure (too big for a screenshot...)
    In the root of the package, there are, as you can see, two XML (.plist) files. The smaller one indexes the iFrame-media, the bigger one the AVCHD-media.
    So, the archives seem to be complete. Just, that FCPX does not recognize the AVCHD content...

  • Playing multiple stereo channels out one single mono channel tia sal22

    Greetings All
    I have a vi which creates multiple stereo audio signals
    in labview 8.6.1 and I would like to play all of the stereo channels out one single Mono channel
    is this possible?  I tried setting all the device ID's to the same thing but a lot of clicks and pops occurred.  Basically I'm trying to play and mix all the signals out one mono channel at the same time.
    Please note I would like to have each signal that is created played over
    the mono channel at the same time.

     Just add the arrays if they have the same length. Use the standard add function (like in 2+2=4). Then arrays are added each index is added together
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

  • Audition says that my file is mono channel, but it's not.

    Notice that i know nothing about Adobe Audition (only that it's an audio editor).
    So, my problem is that when i import an audio file (M4A format), Audition says it's an mono channel file (which it's not).
    I also noticed that the razor tool and other tools are greyed and i can't use them.
    Does it have something to do with the audio format?
    If no, then what?

  • Need to keep two mono channels separated when exporting to mini-dv

    I need to export a project to tape, but I need to keep the two mono channels separated. When I go back to check the audio channels have been mixed. The VO has to remain separate from the rest of the audio (music & sfx), because the client intends to create a another translation of the video.
    I'm using FCP6, and I am connected to the deck via firewire. I'm uncertain as to whether my problem lies in FCP settings or in the deck settings (I've searched my deck manual and can't find anything mentioned on this matter). Any help would be appreciated.

    [email protected] wrote:
    Honestly, the only way I have to capture it is to recapture what I just exported and look at the audio channels
    This sounds more complicated than it needs to be. To what are you capturing, a camera or a deck? Either way, you must be capable of playing back the tape on whatever machine you have and monitor it from that using headphones at the very least.

  • 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.

  • Exporting videos with a 00:10:00:00 sequence timecode and 4 mono channels of audio

    Hi,
    I have to export a video for broadcast with a starting timecode of 00:10:00:00.  I have found out how to change my zero point on my sequence so that the video starts at the right timecode, however when I export my sequence, it exports it with a timecode of 00:00:00:00.  I have tryed both checking and unchecking the 'use 00:00:00:00 timecode' box with no avail. I am using Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3)  exporting to format: Mpeg2 MFX and codec: IMX30 Pal.
    Also does anyone know how to export a video from premiere with 4 mono channels rather than one stereo track.  This is in the delievery spec and would be really grateful if you can get me out of this pickle!
    Thanks
    Graeme

    Just curious but try a test export in another CODEC.
    In the past I have never had a problem doing what you want in .mov or .avi. (never delivered Mpeg2 MFX and codec: IMX30 Pal.)
    FWIW: I never use TC in that way now ...since all our broadcast delivery became file based.
    Cant imagine why 00:10:00:00 as an example ... would  even be a "delivery spec" any more!   Question them maybe.

  • 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.

  • How can I get 2 Mono Audio Channels in, 2 Identical Mono Channels Out?

    I use Premiere CS6. Most of my work requires simply editing with one audio track used for the on-camera talent's microphone, adding another track for music, and then outputting BOTH of those tracks to the right channel as a mixed mono output AND the same for the left channel (an identical mixed mono output).
    Otherwise, I have had problems in the past based on a user's particular playback settings/hardware/etc., and they may only be able to hear one channel or the other (only hearing voice or music). If I can put a mono mix on the right and a mono mix on the left, then I am covered.
    SO HERE'S THE QUESTION: What settings do I need to adjust to accomplish this, and how do I set this up as a default for future projects? (I realize that Premiere CS6 has a lot of flexibility when it comes to controlling audio, however, I have read several help articles, and cannot find the answer to this simple question.)

    You're overthinking this.  A normal stereo mix with the tracks centered will do the trick.  There are several ways to center the audio.  Option 3 is probably the most efficient.

  • When i export a audio mono channel it turns into stereo

    hello
    something went wrong somewhere along the way, now every time i export an audio channel it forms as a stereo channel.
    by the way, how can i split a stereo channel on logic 9 into two seperate mono's?

    Hi,
    1st: There's a little circle below the channelstrip's level meter indication mono or stereo. If it's a single circle, it's mono. If it's a double circle, it's stereo. You'll also see the level meter single or double. Look for the single or double level meter!!
    2nd: Be sure you've created a mono audio track. If the track yo try to export is stereo (look at the level meters if they are doubled or not!), the resulting audio file will be stereo. That's because the export function puts the audio data through the circuitry of the track's channelstrip. If you put any Audio file, be it stereo or mono, into a mono track, the resulting export file will be mono. If you put any Audio file, mono or stereo, into a stereo track, the export's result will be stereo.
    Experiment - there seem so be a little inconsistency when or when not logic switches a track from mono to stereo and back!
    3rd: If you want to avoid the channelstrip alltogether, use the sample editor or the bin to convert the stereo file into split files (one for L, one for R)

  • Capturing Audio is 2 Mono channels, not Stereo!!!

    I am capturing HDV. in the clip settings of the log and capture I check the option to capture as audio, but the clip is still imported as 2 mono files!
    How do I remedy this?
    Thanks
    Adam

    I do not believe you can. There is no option in capture settings to store the audio as stereo interleaved. There is apparently no display option in FCP to show a stereo file on a single track either.
    But then, why does it really matter? The channels are linked in the timeline anyway, so for all intents and purposes, they can be edited as one. Often it can be very useful to have them seperated. Is there something you're trying to achieve that you presently cannot?

  • IMac input doesn't allow me 2 mono channels. Why?

    All I want to do is record Singing and Playing guitar at the same time with 2 mics.
    I have 2 mics set up through a small mixer, then out the main L/R out of the mixer where the 2 cords are combined to one stereo 1/8th inch plug that is inserted into my iMac's input.
    When I designate the Garagband tracks as Mono 1 and Mono 2 - the Mono 1 track picks up both mics, and Mono two picks up nothing.
    I've hard panned my mixer so the signals should be L/R, but I don't know why garageband doesn't see this as two tracks. This is getting really frustrating, and I don't know what is going on. I'm about to break down and buy a USB audio interface, but this seems so simple, and it sounds good so what gives? Any thought or help is greatly appreciated!

    the most likely suspect is the adapter. it's probably 2-stereo-INs to 1 stereo-OUT when what you need is 2 mono-INs to 1 stereo-OUT

  • Is it possible to output multichannel audio with both stereo and mono channels?

    For example, track 1 is mono, track 2 is mono, but tracks 3&4 are stereo.
    This is possible in FCP7, but I can't seem to find a way to do it in premiere.

    Premiere does not currently support this and is an open feature request.
