Mono voice over has 1 track only is this the proper way to do it?

My dialogue has 2 tracks (A1/A2), has well has my music (A3/A/4). My voice over, that was recorded in Mono is on just one track (A5), is this fine or should I have 2 tracks also for this voice over?
Thank you.

That's not really a great way to handle mono audio, in my opinion. When you double audio tracks, you're literally doubling the audio; all your levels will be jacked up, because you're superimposing sound. What Shane said is what I understand to be the correct way — as far as there's ever a correct way to do anything — to handle mono audio. You pan your left and right stereo tracks to the left and the right, but you keep your mono tracks panned center (or automate the pan for things like foley effects on moving shots, stuff like that).
Among other things, this makes doing your final mix a lot easier, since you've got only the number of tracks you actually need. Every track you add creates more work when you finish your sound.

  • We are recording 2 voices over an instrumental track. Every time there is a rest in the vocal part the volume of the instrumental track noticeable increases. Is this fixable? We are using Alesis multi mix 8 with 2 microphones.

    What's your setup? Normally you hear all  tracks (that are not muted) in your headphones while you record a new one.

  • What's the proper way of mixing voices on top of loud music?

    Hello!
    I'm working on a little something that contains very loud music and very loud voices mixed together.
    It sounds great on my Logitech G35 headphones, but when playing it through my studio monitors in the living room, the voices seem to get a little drowned out by the music (The music is at a pleasingly loud level that I wish to keep, as it doesn't sound as powerful as soon as I bring it's gain down a little).
    So I was wondering what is the proper way of keeping the great loudness of the music and the voices at the same time, but make the voices a little more understandable?
    The music and the voices are on seperate tracks of course in my Audition file.
    Here is an example of what it sounds like currently: http://soundcloud.com/stefanpanic/gameshow-trailer
    Thanks in advance!

    Okay, with my acoustician's hat on:
    Headphone mixing - especially when it comes to voices in the centre of a stereo field - has always been a disaster area, and you can almost always spot when a mix has been made to play on headphones, because the vocal is invariably too quiet.
    I suppose that the easiest way to explain this is to consider what happens to the central voice with loudspeakers. That voice is essentially a virtual image; there isn't a loudspeaker there to support it. So it's been created out of the off-axis responses of your loudspeakers, and is in a space that's quite a distance from your ears, compared to where it would be on headphones. So, the level of this voice depends as much on the angle of your speakers as anything, and whilst this varies considerably between different setups, it's still considerably different to the relationship that headphones have with your ears!
    Traditionally in the past, it's been recommended that you should sit in an equilateral triangle with your speakers, which should be pointing towards you which means an included angle of 120 degrees between them. Despite this information being repeated all over the place since the 1950's, there's no physical basis for it at all, and most people don't have setups like that anyway. And I have to say that this really isn't good positioning for establishing a central image - that angle is too great, and you are relying on an extremely good off-axis response to achieve any level at all there.
    In this day and age, what you really need is a monitoring compromise that will let you create a mix that sounds not so bad on both headphones and loudspeakers, and there are a couple of things you can do to improve the situation considerably, and get a generally better result. And FWIW, it's what I do in this situation...
    The first is to alter the angle of your monitors so that the included angle is 90 degrees (a right-angle) and sit so that both of them are pointing directly at your ears. This gets you a lot closer to the monitors, admittedly, but is far more realistic as far as a compromise mix is concerned. If you do your whole mix like this, you'll find that it's a lot easier to position things in it too. And don't put anything like soft furnishings between them either - that will definitely make things worse. The second thing is that one of the important things you should always do with a mix like this, to finally establish vocal levels, is to listen to it really quietly. No, really quietly! Almost at vanishing point. What you should hear is the whole mix, but if anything is standing out (like the vocal), it will become obvious like this in a way that it simply won't when it's louder. You want it to be there, certainly - but it shouldn't be either missing or standing out too much.

    I have recently purchased a CD and some tracks do not play the whole way through. Why?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • What is the Proper way to nullify the VECTOR after it's scope is over

    I am using Vectors and Array lists at many places in my Web Application, It is neccessary to use them.
    In some processes I m storing bulk amount of data into vector due to that the performance of my application will be decreased, for that I have to nullify the vector after it's scope is over.
    To nullify I m using Vector v = new Vector()
    v.clear().
    The above method is suitable in case of simple object data like strings and other values.
    But I wanna know that If I m using HashMap and storing bulk data in it and then I m storing each HashMap into vector, what is the proper way.
    Does I have to iterate each object of HashMap from vector and set them as null and then set vector as null or directly I can use v.clear() method??
    If any having any answer regarding my question then plz reply your each valuable reply will be appriciable.
    Thanks in advance......!!

    Thats why I m nullifying it.
    Even if I'll declare it out side the loop then also for the each iteration I have to nullify it cause what I m doing is I m inserting the data into database in each iteration of loop, So that I think it is must to nullify the objects each time.If it is constructed inside the loop then you do not have to nullify it. If it is constructed outside of the loop and you want to empty it for each iteration then just clear() it.

  • Totally new to MAC, want to record music (voice over on karaoke track)

    Good morning! I'm totally new to this so forgive me if this topic has been covered before. I have a MACBOOK PRO and I am a singer-performer. I have a multitude of music tracks that I would now like to lay a voice track over and perhaps video record it as well. Is Garageband is the best way to do this (in ILIFE) and if so, how?
    Thanks!

  • Voice over other sound tracks

    I have iMovie '09, and I was wondering if I could do a voice over on a movie where I have already added background music tracks , or other audio tracks in general?
    Like say I finish my movie with the added sound tracks and all, then I decide I want to do a voice over on a certain portion of the movie. Will it work?
    I just upgraded here to a 13" macbook pro, with 10.6.3 and all. I was using QT Pro on my older Mac , with Tiger OS. Finally decided to try out 'iMovie', as I heard it is alot better than the old '07 version.
    Thanks for any helpful replies, Mo
