P2 Audio render & replace yields mono .wav file

I import some P2 footage (shot with an HVX200) and use the source channel mappings
to map audio channels 1 and 2 to stereo and disable channels 3 and 4. My sequence
uses the DVCPROHD P2 720p preset with the frame rate set to 29.92 fps. I
then place a clip into the sequence. Because of the source channel mapping a
new stereo audio track is automatically created (Audio 5) and the audio from the
clip goes into Audio 5, not Audio 1 through 4 (because they are mono).
All is good so far and I can edit and export to my hearts content.
However, I recently wanted to use Soundbooth to make some adjustments to the
audio. When I right click and select Edit in Soundbooth, Render and Replace I
end up with a mono clip in Soundbooth. Also the rendered clip that Premiere
adds to the project has only a left channel. However, the sequence itself
seems to still have a stereo clip as evidenced by viewing the clip in the
source monitor. I cannot figure out how to get Premiere to render a stereo .wav
file with both left and right source channels and pump it out to Soundbooth.

Welcome to the forum.
Since this is PrPro CS4.1, it should have been posted to the Premiere Pro sub-forum, as this one is for Premiere, prior to Pro. This is a new change in the forum structure, and all of us are still working through it.
Now, let's see if we can get you to editing.
Does the Audio Track, AT 5, have the stereo speaker icons, or just a single speaker icon? From your description, it should be the stereo speaker icon. You can also go into Audio Mixer and check out the signal, or Dbl-click on the Audio Clip to view it in the Source Monitor.
Since Edit in SB is not doing what you and I think it should do, I'd bypass that, and just do an Export>Audio Only through AME (Adobe Media Encoder), as a PCM/WAV file. Open that in SB and edit, as is required. Do a Save_As (keeping your original Export file for safety) and then Import that edited Audio file into PrPro. Place it as is required on the proper type of Audio Track. Go to Audio Mixer and just Mute the old Audio Track. That should handle it fine.
If you do have a mono file, you can create a dual-mono (not exactly the same as a stereo file, but similar), with Fill-Left, or Fill-Right. Still, from your description, you should have a stereo file and why SB is not seeing it as such is puzzling. Still, if you can get to editing, you can probably sort that part out, when you have time.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere CS5 to Encore 5.1 Blu Ray track from six mono wave files

When preparing a 5.1 mix for a theater presentation, I had repeated trouble trying to get a blu ray disk to reflect the 5.1 mix our sound engineer created, so, having had success this time, I wanted to record my procedure. You gurus might catch something I missed, so critique this where necessary:
I'm running Windows 7 Professional, Premiere CS5 and Encore CS5.
You will need to purchase the Minnetonka Surcode for 5.1 ( http://www.minnetonkaaudio.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=74)
Mine installed without any hitches.
In your Premiere sequence, make sure you create a 5.1 Master audio track. (Very important)
Create 6 5.1 audio tracks
Import your six mono wave files. (L.wav, R.wav, Ls.wav, Rs.wav, C.wav, LFE.wav) but DO NOT drag them to the timeline yet.
Right click on each .wav file in the project panel.   For each one, select Modify -> Audio Channels
In this dialogue box, you can select mono, stereo, mono as stereo, or 5.1. Choose 5.1.
Each of your wav files should be mapped to the proper representation of the 5.1 icon, with the black dot appearing where the final name would imply. (the *c.wav file would match the icon as it appears below.
Continuously click on the icon will bring up new channel options. (see illustration below)
For more info on channel mapping, see: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7f46a.html
(continued..)
When all your wav files are mapped to the master 5.1 audio track, you can drag them to the sequence and you can export your audio file.
File -> export -> media
My objectives was to get an *.ac3 file to drop into my encore project, since I had trouble with dynamic link, so the next step for me was:
Format: H.264 Blu-ray (note export audio only didn't give me the 5.1 surcode option, but I got it this way:)
uncheck export video
export settings, h.264 Blu-Ray, Dolby Digital, SurCode for Dolby Digital
Our engineer recommended:
Dialog Normalization should be -31
Dynamic Compression should be set to none
The export resulted in an AC3 file that was a perfect match to the sound mixer's file on his end.

You can skip the Modify step and just route the tracks from the Mixer.

How to bounce or render a mono wav file?

Hello all....this seems like a basic question, but I'm stumped. How do you bounce a stereo project to a mono (sum of both L and R) file? I switched the little "interlocking circles" symbol on the master output to a single circle, but that seems to move the summed audio to the L channel only, and then looking at the bounced file, it creates a stereo L + R channel, with the audio showing up on the L and a blank R channel. What I want is a single waveform containing both L + R audio, resulting in a balanced sound in L and R speakers. This should also result in half the file size of a stereo wav file the same length.
Thanks in advance.

Set the Stereo Outst to mono, then use the little bounce button underneath the fader to bounce. Using a bounce keycommand will always result in a stereo bounce. Using that little button will create a true mono file. If you have already inserted stereo Plugs on the Master Out this will not work, the Outs will remain stereo. So remove those plugs first.

Audio tag not support some .wav files

i use <audio> tag to play .wav files.
it is working right in Chrome and old Firefox,
in firefox 16.0.1, some of these .wav files can not play. error message is: 媒体资源.....无法被解码

It is possible that the .wav files are encoded in an unsupported format: Media resources ..... can not be decoded.
Maybe try to recode the files if you use some kind of compression format.

I need to capture streaming audio and save to a wav file

I need to be able to capture an audio stream delivered via ethernet using UDP protocol and then save to a wav file.
I currently can capture the data stream but do not know how to format the data to save it to a file. Our format is 16KS/s, 16bit, PCM, no compression.

Did you do the thing about searching in the example database. Let us use that as base for discussion. Those who put in some effort will be rewarded. Also check out the AU file format http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au_file_format As it is big-endian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big-endian the numbers can be stored as is in Labview. Must players,matlab, etc can use the AU file format.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

"Render and replace" now converts to .mov, not audio wav files like before

In previous versions, the "render and replace" functionality allowed you to quickly extract audio from clips and turn them into audio files. Now in CC 2014 the audio gets replaced with another movie file with no video track. This is useless when trying to convert audio clips to .wav format for editing in 3rd party audio apps, which is what made it so great in the first place. Additionally this breaks functionality with PluralEyes, which required that you rendered and replaced segmented video clips like those from the C300. Now PluralEyes rejects the created .mov files with an "unsupported format" error.
Why was this changed? How do I change it back?

I too am now dipping my toes into Premiere Pro CC 2014 and just ran into this as well. Jeez!!!! Using Pluraleyes like you and just need to convert the audio portions to .mov audio. Now what????? I thought there might be 'presets' that were downloadable but I can't easily locate any. Why does Adobe do these things?

How to send wav file to NI audio out

How do I send a wav file to the D/A Audio Out
of a 6071E.
A futher requirement is to send it out differentially
using channel 0 and 1
- Make Software User Friendly -

I've attached an example to this posting. This example generates an analog output waveform on the board and channel specified. The waveform generated will be based on the WAV file selected. It is an example of the using a multifunction data acquisition board to play a WAV file on speakers.
Instructions:
1. Select the desired device and channel #.
2. Enter the path to your 8 bit mono WAV file. ( a sample WAV file is included in attachment below)
3. Enter the update rate for your Analog Output(AO) channel. This should equal the rate of your WAV file.
4. Wire your speakers to the Analog Output channel
5. Run it.
6. The program will continue to loop the WAV file waveform on the AO channel until you clickthe stop button.
How it works:
An 8 bit mono WA
V file is read from disk. After the data and header of the WAV file are extracted, the data is scaled from 0 to 1 V and then the entire waveform is written to the Analog Output channel specified. The example is set form continuous generation (or playback) and will continue looping the WAV files waveform until the stop button is pressed.
I hope this helps.

Interleaving 5.1 wav files to a single 5.1 wav

Hi,
I need to turn 6 mono 48/16 wav files into a single interleaved 5.1 48/16 wav file.
I have tried assigning each track to subgroup 1/2/3/4/5/6 and exporting as wav, and I only get a mono wav file. What I am monitoring before export is correct, each channel is assigned to the correct speaker and level is correct (unity!) but then after export it won't save as a single interleaved wav. At best it saves the 6 files in a folder CALLED "exporttitle"wav with the wav suffix, but thats not a file, its a folder. Is this a bug in soundtrack 2.0.1 or is there a simple solution?
The other thing I will try today is assigning each track to the associated speaker in the surround panner, and exporting the master mix as 5.1 interleaved wav. Basically the audio has already been mixed elsewhere, I just need to get it into a 5.1 wav file and it's crucial I don't change levels or pan settings at all.
Many thanks for any suggestions!

Thanks, exactly what I was after. I'd used a PC equivalent to do the same thing. Soundtrack worked too, once I hard panned things to appropriate areas and exported 5.1 interleaved wav, but I prefer the straight up approach of the software you recommended.

Read & Filter Multiple .wav files, Export Filtered SPL

Hi
I'm searching for tips on how to use LabVIEW to read multiple .wav files, then filter them, then export just the calculated SPL values to a "database friendly format".
Basically I want a solution that allows me to point to several files, then press a "go button" that triggers LabVIEW to produce filtered SPL values as exported data.
I'll skim over the cal approach since I'm confident most readers know how to handle it. Basically, though, for each 30 s .wav file of broadband noise, an associated cal tone file is used to determine the dBFS value (dB below Full Scale) to be associated with 94 dB SPL, or 114 dB SPL, as the case may be. I'll leave it at that.
Detailed Requirements, (excluding cal steps, tho).
1) Operates on up to a dozen 30 s time records (44,1 kSa/s, mono .wav files);
2) Passes the signal from each desired .wav file through 18 of the 1/3 octave filters (IEC 1260 compliant, as in the S/V toolset) not necessarily in real time!;
3) Calculates the SPL for each 1/3 octave filtered time record; This makes (12 files) x (18 filters) = 216 filtered SPL values if end-user points to a dozen broadband noise files before pressing the "Go" button;
4) Exports SPL values in a suitable database format; an existing database does the rest of the mathematics and report generation;
Client FileMaker database functions include:
- import and store 1/3 octave filtered Leq(30) SPL values;
- average filtered SPL across the declared qty of mic positions of the present test case;
NOTES:
1) In the field, we do NOT use simultaneous / MULTI-mics. Instead, it is absolutely an "open and shut case" that the optimum process is to move one (1) single mic quickly from spot to spot. While holding the airborne noise at a constant level we position the mic at each spot for 30 s to feed the .wav recorder, then move on. We emerge from a typical day of field activity with, say, 60 to 100 .wav files to post-process.
2) (1), above, explains why we don't use any N.I. DAQ h/w.
3) LabVIEW, it seems, exports best to a spreadsheet, so if needed, I'm prepared to handle manually any ugly conversion from LV's format to a proper database format ("1st Normal Form, 2nd Normal Form, etc.).
4) Given a choice to calculate the averages in my database, versus in LV (say, to cut down on exported data qty), I'd likely opt to export the 216 SPL's and then do averaging in the database, (where the ASTM E336 reports are done).
TIPS Gathered To Date:
1) S/V toolset has IEC 1260 compliant filters, BUT...
2) If you use the S/V toolset VI's, then you CANNOT ACCESS the filtered time record NOR CAN YOU WRITE the filtered data back to a .wav file! All you can do is measure the filters' outputs. Fortunately for us here, the available measures include SPL.
Aside: Although not a show-stopper in this project, this constraint is surprising, nonetheless. To access & record the filtered sound, you'd have to either (a) ask N.I. to unprotect VI's, or (b) develop your own IEC compliant filters from N.I.'s published tap co-eff's etc.;
3) LabVIEW does not support drag'n'drop operations on files. Instead, the recommended technique is to use multiple "Browse to/ Navigation/ File Open" panels to allow LV to open the user's desired qty of .wav files simultaneously;
Thanks for any tips!

The filter VI is password protected in the Sound & Vibration Toolkit (SVT) for two reasons. First, since the filter is compliant to a standard, by locking the code we guarantee that no one has the chance to accidentally change it so that they are no longer compliant. Second, the method of filtering the data is considered intellectual property that we are protecting.
That said, from reading your post it does not appear that you need to have access to the filtered data since you are making an SPL measurement which is provided in the Sound & Vibration functionality. Is that correct?
Also, I wanted to point you to another subVI which comes with SVT but is not in the pallette that might be of use. There is an example for SVT which is SVXMPL_Wav Power Spectrum which opens up a wav file and computes the power spectrum of it. Inside the VI, there is a subVI which will open a Wav file and convert it into a waveform which you can use with your SVT functions.
Hope that helps,
Jack

How to play a wave file through the DAQ board?

Hi there,
we want to play a wave file that is saved on the harddrive via the DAQ board. Means we want to connect a amp to the analog output of the DAQ to amplify the sound and play it through a speaker.
We couldn't find any VI that does that. Can anybody tell us how to play a wave file, or perhaps even send us a VI that can do that?
Thanks a lot for your help
Martin - Physical Optics Corporation

Hi Martin,
The only example that I could find on how to do this was using our
older Traditional DAQ drivers version 6.9.3. If you're using Traditional
DAQ drivers, the vi can be found here.
The example reads a 8-bit mono .wav file (an example .wav file is included in the .zip file) and writes it to the analog out of your DAQ card. I've updated the
example to work with our newer DAQmx drivers and attached it here.
I hope this helps,
Paul C.

Selected "Edit in Audition," audio track was split into two files. Preference change?[image included]

I have no idea what kind of shortcut key or preference I changed.
When I select any video on any premiere timeline to "edit in audition" i end up with the audio getting split into two wav files instead of one, as the red rectangular shows. Instead of the single audio track to edit in which you can see in the blue rectangular.
***The blue rectangular I got when I dropped a video directly into audition.
Update: did some testing around in premiere, this issue only happens with clips that are on a timeline, but if I "edit in audition" from "project" (main folder with all material), I can edit it properly.

Its one file with two different dispalys.
You can pull the bottom one down by dragging it down or hit the very little triangle on the right side.

CVP wave file change

When replacing wav files in CVP 8, what service(s) needs to be restarted for the new wav files to play? We replaced an old wav file with a new one. Somehow the old wav file still plays. I'm guessing that it is cached and either the server needs to be rebooted or a service needs to be restarted.
Any comment is appreciated. Thanks!
Richard

Hi,
No need to restart any services from the CVP or from the media server. The prompts get cached in the VXML gateway. The default time set to refresh the prompts is 864000 seconds (10 days). When uploading the new prompts in the CVP you need to run the command "set http client cache stale" in the VXML Gateways, so it shall look out for any new prmpts in the media server
Thanks

How do I convert an audio link into a wav file?

how do I convert an audio link into a wav file with my Imac?

All my audio (WAV) files got destroyed by "Metadata writing in progress" error. Help please?

I am running Adobe Premiere CS6.03 which is the most current update I believe. I am running Windows 7 64bit with 16GB RAM 3.60 GHz quad core.
When I tried to save my project I got the error "Metadata writing in progress (2 files pending). If you quit before writing is complete, data will be lost. Are you sure you want ot quit? "
I waited 30 minutes but nothing changed. So I just accepted and exited. Then when I reopened the project all the sound looked like this:
They are WAV files from a Zoom H4N. The video files work perfectly. For some reason it's just the audio files that got destroyed. The actual original WAV files itself are fine it's just that particular sequence, in fact I can pull the original audio files from the project tab into the same sequence and they will play. It would take me ages to reconstruct the audio sequence piece by piece. I tried "Replace Footage" which didn't work and I tried linking the media all over again which didn't work. I've been working on this project forever. Is there any fix for this?

If you have "save media cache next to originals when possible" ticked in your preferences then you might need to delete the .pek files that Premiere generates from the folder that your wav files are in. Premiere will make a new one, and I've found this has fixed similar audio issues that I've had in the past.
Otherwise, open a new project and then import the sequence from your old project into it, and see if that fixes it.
