Premiere XML import maps all stereo tracks to mono with no way back HELP!!!

Hi
I recently upgraded to Premiere 2014 and Audition 2014 so that I could import Audition and Premiere projects back and forth. This was meant to work previously but absolutely did not!
The very clunky and archaic export to FCP XML interchange format (FCP hello wtf) is the only way to do this.
I have now discovered to my horror that all my imported stereo audio has been mapped to mono. And if you know what that means you'll also know that it cannot be undone without completely manually importing all the material again and dropping it onto stereo timelines only.
Meaning that Audition XML import still does not work.
I would love to know why this is and if there is a way around it?
I imagine that this is the sort of question only an Adobe employee can help with but if you're not then thanks a lot for your time

I'm not sure I follow your workflow. I've never used XML export/import from Audition. Usually I use the dynamic link methods to work on audio in Audition and round-trip back to Premiere. That said, I *THINK* I know what you're talking about with Premiere's audio limitations when importing from FinalCut XML (+1 for What the Fetch on FinalCut XML). The workflow and problem you describe sounds similar to what happens when syncing audio and video in PluralEyes and then importing the resulting FCP XML. It's been on my complaint list for a very, very long time. All audio shows up in Premiere as TWO separate tracks (each mono, if I remember right).
The awkward work-around, at least in my case, is to re-interperet ALL of the audio files as stereo, in the project panel and then hammer out about 100 or more Match Frame operations to replace all of the audio in my timeline(s). Let me take this opportunity, once again, to plead with Adobe: PLEASE fix XML import so that mono comes in as mono, and stereo comes in as stereo. If it's a limitation of FinalCut XML, why not be innovative and create a new industry standard that works: PPrXML! And please, please, PLEASE bring the "Modify Audio" command directly to the timeline where so many of us need it MOST!!!

[CS2][AS] Make XML import map is calling a refresh on styles?

If this can be of use to someone else... it's probably not CS2,AS specific.. but this is what i use.
It's the second time i have a bug like this, where changing the order of my calls is fixing the problem. With this one, i was getting random missing font error (times(1)) while batching documents(wich make the batch script batch crash as there is a modal dialog open). Not always on the same document, it was really fustrating as i was not able to get my finger on the problem!
I actually knew the source of the problem as i had added a fix (maybe not the best solution, but it was working well) that actually was removing the style from all the text frame (i noticed that using map style to tag was not always working well(when text frame had overriden?), so that's why i added code to reset the style before doing a map. But i was not understanding why it was happening so randomly...
I tought at first it was happening during save (as it reopen the document) but after a few experimentation it looked like it was occuring during the import map redefinition (See code below: make XML import map with properties {markup tag:tStyle, mapped style:tStyle}).
Looks like the make XML import is calling some sort of document refresh wich then pop the font missing dialog (even with never interact as script preferences!)! (missing font is actually a bug i had also in other circumstances.. exemple when you have a extra return at the end of a tagged text (outside the tag)). A bit unexpected, i really tought that creating a xml import map was just creating data structure in document model to be used later on by the auto style call...
The problematic script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set myDocument to document 1
tell myDocument
--Reset styles.
set applied character style of every text of every text frame of every spread to character style 1
set applied paragraph style of every text of every text frame of every spread to paragraph style 1
--Create a tag to style mapping.
set tList to name of every XML tag
set tNumItems to count of tList
repeat with i from 1 to tNumItems
set tStyle to item i of tList
make XML import map with properties {markup tag:tStyle, mapped style:tStyle}
end repeat
--Map the XML tags to the defined styles.
auto style
end tell
end tell
And the working solution (just moved the reset of style after the import map creation loop):
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set myDocument to document 1
tell myDocument
--Create a tag to style mapping.
set tList to name of every XML tag
set tNumItems to count of tList
repeat with i from 1 to tNumItems
set tStyle to item i of tList
make XML import map with properties {markup tag:tStyle, mapped style:tStyle}
end repeat
--Reset styles.
set applied character style of every text of every text frame of every spread to character style 1
set applied paragraph style of every text of every text frame of every spread to paragraph style 1
--Map the XML tags to the defined styles.
auto style
end tell
end tell

it doesnt print any server control message. in my "page_404.jsp" I am printing current date and time (to check if the server visited that page) everytime when i refresh "index.jsp" the server goes to "page_404.jsp" and prints the current date and time.
so basically the only message which the console shows is the current date/time which i am printing in the "page_404.jsp"
Thanks.

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

Sharing a stereo track in Mono

Hi -
I just upgraded to 10.0.2. In the previous version of Garageband, I was able to specify that when I wanted to share my track to iTunes, I could have it export in mono. I have to play my track on speakers that aren't reliably set up to support good stereo, so this is a pretty critical function for me.
Is it possible to export the track to mono? I've tried changing the input to Mono on the track, but then I lost the left side of my audio. I want it to play evenly all the time out of both speakers.
Thanks!

If you center pan all the material in your sequence it will be effectively mono. The output is always two tracks at least. You could make the output dual mono and send everything to one track and leave the other track empty, but I don't think you can export just one track of audio. Is there some special reason you only need one track?

Splitting stereo tracks to mono for separate editing?

Does anyone know of a way to split a stereo track into two mono tracks inside of Logic Pro 8?
I'll explain my problem, I have a track made from samples of a song. In the track that I recorded, there is one particular sound that I can't get rid of no matter how hard I try. I recorded the passage with the ESX24 in stereo and I noticed that the noise is only on the left track. My first solution was to pan the track all the way right, create a duplicate of that and pan it hard left. Unfortunately, it loses a lot of clarity and texture when I use this method..
Looking on the forums, all I could find was instructions to bounce the tracks to split stereo, but I need them to form separate tracks within Logic so I can apply a LowPass filter to the problematic left track, then mix them back together as one stereo track later....
Any suggestions?

You guys are talking about different things. The OP says he's using an exs24 instrument with a sample that has a noise on one side of the stereo field of a SAMPLE not an audio region recorded into logic. Samples used by the EXS24 are not added to the audio bin, only into the EXS24's RAM. You could pan the instrument track to the side without the noise, and then output the result to a bus track that is set to MONO. That will pan your one sided sampler back to center. You can also bring the sample into logic (using the browser) and then split it as eriksimon suggested, and then create a new EXS24 instrument using only the good side of the sample.

Change stereo tracks to mono?

I accidently recorded 3 vocal tracks in stereo. Is there a way to change them to mono without having to re-record them? They only come out of 1 speaker now no matter what I do.
I'm in GB3.
Thanks in advance
Randy

First, I didn't mean to be rude, hence my preface "I don't mean to be a dick...". I just didn't want to hear the same wrong answer over and over. It doesn't work, try it.
Second, I recorded the track with an SM58 (mono mic)plugged into an M-box FW Solo (mono interface).
The track shows up as stereo but I only get sound from the right. There are 2 level meters (left & right) in the mixer column. One meter shows activity, one meter does not. I must have accidentally had the input set to Channel 1 & 2 (stereo) when it was recorded. Changing it to mono only affects subsequently recorded tracks, not tracks that are already recorded.
I want to know how I can take this stereo track and change it to mono so I can get sound from both left and right.
Thanks

Help making stereo track two mono tracks

I imported a stereo aiff with dj cuts on the left side and the music in the right side. I copy/converted the file and when saving as a wav I selected interleaved to split and added to the bin. I then had a L and R version. Both files play a mono version of left and right together. I drag the L into arrange and it has a little stereo symbol on it and plays both sides only in mono.. I also tried saving the audio as a split file and the same thing happened. I remember in 7 I did it really simply with a couple clicks. Going crazy with this simple task. What am I overlooking?
thanks

Yes, there is a clever way of doing this but I can't bring it to mind at the mo.
However, a slightly less clever but still quick way is as follow:
Make the Output channel mono (right hand of the two channel mixers in the channel strip area)
Pan your music track hard left and bounce
Pan your music track hard right and bounce
This uses the fact that the pan knob on a stereo is a balance control, not a panning control.

Workflow for moving stereo tracks to mono?

Hi everyone,
I'm a relatively new Audition user (using the latest version of CC); I've been using it to create podcasts using the multitrack editor and flagging out footage with markers in the waveform editor. I recorded a skype conversation and I wanted to mix the audio for a new episode, and I'm hoping that someone can help me with a suggested workflow. In the screencap below, the audio got recorded with stereo channels, and what I am attempting to do find the quickest way to create a two mono channels from what is two stereo channels (although the right channel of one didn't include any audio) – and balance the audio levels between the two mono channels. Screencap enclosed of what i'm beginning with.
I know the multi-track editor can accomplish some of this using the bus feature, but I want to first get this audio right because i want to make markers in the wave form to flag out footage, so i figured that destructive changes to the audio are best. I'm aware that i can extract audio channels to mono and use the match volume feature for clips, but i'm wondering if someone might be able to point me to a quicker/better way.
Thanks a lot,
Quin

In Waveform view, use Edit/Convert Sample Type and just select mono in that section of the conversion options.
The balancing of levels between the two is best done in Multitrack where you can listen--though, looking at your waveforms, you might find it gets easier if you normalise (Effects/Amplitude and Compression/Normalise) to reduce that loud track down to levels closer to the quiet one before you start.
It's worth saying that, if your session is set up to end up in mono, you may well not need to convert your files anyway but this depends on your workflow. If it was me, I think I might convert to mono (even if not strictly necessary) just for tidiness.

XML import issue in Primavera P6: "Process completed with errors."

When trying to import a small XML file (from MS Project 2010) to P6 server via P6 V7 CITRIX client, then I receive the message "Process completed with errors. See log file for details.".
But the log files are fine (no error, no warning, final validation status in log file is "successful").
And no additional project shows up in the EPS.
// Permissions checked. They are sufficient.
// File is valid (importable by two other users to the same P6 server: one with local P6 V7 client, one via CITRIX P6 V7 client).
// I used the same import template as the other two other users.
// XML contains two tasks only.
// No resources and no empty rows are in the MPP file, where the XML is created from.
Does anyone know what to do upon this message, or where the "errors" can be seen (what is neither in the import log files, nor in the PrimaveraLogs folder (P6WebAccess.html), nor in detailed P6 application logfile (I had this activated, but it showed only called features without status, errors or warnings)).
I highly appreciate any idea! ...

Exported my library to an external drive (new with nothing else on it) Trying to import to iTunes on another computer (Dell) with out success. Help Please

Need help importing my library from and external drive

After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move. Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way. Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

Recommendations for printer/all in one for use with 10.9+? Help!

Does anyone have recommendations for a printer/all-in-one that will work with Mavericks? Monochrome (b&w) laser printer/all-in-one preferred. This is for a small office (5-8 people). Frequent pdf printing and 30+ page documents.
Right now I'm looking at Brother MFC-7860DW (might need something with a larger capacity), Brother MFC-8710DW, Epson WorkForce WF-M1030 (again, may need something w/ larger capacity), and Canon Laser imageCLASS MF4770n or Canon Laser imageCLASS MF4890dw. Also have looked at Canon imageCLASS MF6160dw but reviews are iffy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for your help and input, diggernyc. If I was going to say that my question had been answered I certainly would have chosen your response and not my own. It seems silly that you can't undo marking a post as "solved".
If anyone has suggestions, they are still appreciated. Thanks!

I am on on the job traning and synced my bookmarks to a pc at OJT...now I am leaving and cant "unsync". All my stuff is there with passwords. Please Help!

I would like to disable sync on a pc I have been using while in an OJT placement. All of my information is still available. I have tried changing my password but bookmarks and passwords are all still visible. I will be leaving this OJT placement in 2 weeks and would like to make sure none of my stuff is accessible.
Thanks for any help!
Stirling

First, log out from your sync account on the computer. In the address bar, type "about:preferences", and choose the "sync" tab, then choose "disconnect".
Then, delete your information on the computer. Type "about:support", and under the "application basics" section, you should see a section called "profile folder". Click the "show in finder" (the wording may be slightly different). Quit firefox, and then delete the folder that is shown.

XML import only creates one record at a time

Hi All,
I have an XML import map that automatically imports data into main product table. It's working fine when the XML file has only one main record. When it has more than one record, the import manager and import server can only import the last record in the file and skip the rest.
I already checked the record matching tab. It correctly shows that all records will be created and 0 will be skipped. Even the log file indicates all records are created after I execute the map. Yet, when I try to look for them in the data manager, I can only find the last one. If I execute the map with the exact same file again, it will create one more record again and skip the rest.
Someone else posted the same question a while back: Import map issue one record at a time. But it was never answered. Does anyone else have this issue? Is this a MDM bug?
Thanks,
Kenny

How to play back one channel of the stereo track in both headphone cans?

I recorded two microphones in one stereo track. Is there some way I could listen to the left channel and then to the right channel in both cans in my headphones, like a mono track? Panning moves all sound to the left can or the right one in my headphones. But I'd like to listed Left channel as mono channel in both headphone cans, and then press some button and listen to the right channel in both cans. How can I do it?

No problem. By the way, there is a wrinkle in Logic that you may not be aware of.
When dealing with a stereo track, the knob in the channel strip that you may think of as a Pan knob is not. It's a Balance knob. What is does is to change the level of what's in either left or right channel but does NOT move the left signal to the right or vice versa.
To prove this:
* Create a project with two mono audio tracks
* Put different files on each track
* Pan one hard left, the other hard right
* Bounce the result
* Create a new project with a stereo audio track
* Import the audio that you exported above
* Use the Balance Knob to bring either up or down
* Note you cannot move one signal from its original position
If you want to pan a stereo signal, you have to use the insert: Imaging > Direction Mixer. Only then can you position a stereo signal in your stereo field. This is documented in the user manual in the section called: "Setting the Pan, Balance, or Surround Position".
Have fun!

How to make 48 mono tracks into 24 stereo tracks

When I opened a Final Cut Pro project in Audition 5.5 the Final Cut Pro project had 24 stereo pairs. The Audition project has 48 mono tracks. How do I convert every pair of mono tracks into a stereo track?

The FinalCut XML format that is used to send this only accomodates mono clips on mono tracks (just like FinalCut itself). If it supported Stereo clips on Stereo tracks like most DAWs or PremierePro, then it wouldn't really be an issue.
That being said, the linking between two adjacent clips in a stereo pairs in FinalCut doesn't transfer over because this version of Audition CS5.5 doesn't have the ability to group clips. If the source audio files are originally stereo, you could save the session as a SESX, and then perhaps make a script to modify the XML to change all the tracks to stereo, and find and combine 2 mono clips referencing a stereo file, and just make a single stereo clip. I'm not sure if that explanation helps (or even makes sense).
Perhaps you could post the session, and I could give more direct advice.
