Push two audio tracks to Right and Left channels...How?

I have two stereo tracks. One is interview sound and the other is a bed of music. My client has asked that I write to tape with the interview pushed to the left channel and the music to the right. How do I best do that?
Thanks.

just to clarify Kip's option #2
open the Sequence Settings (Cmd-0) for your edit, and select the Audio Outputs tab ... there you should change the grouping from "Stereo" to "Dual Mono", then click OK
if you're only working with 2 channels, and are simply switching from stereo to dula mono then that should do it...
...but if you want to check (or swap output channels or other fancy footwork) then in the timeline, control-click the Auto Selects button on track A1 and in the popup menu look at the Audio Outputs submenu ... thats where you can select to which channel you want to send the audio track

How do I share / unlink the right and left channel, so I can work with them individually ?

I use "Adobe Sound Booster CS5"
I have a stereo soundtrack, which I only want to remove noise in only one channel (right).
How do I share / unlink the right and left channel, so I can work with them individually ?

When Soundbooth was first developed, it had a few extra things than what were not available in Audition. However, Audition remained the more high end sound editing tool. Soundbooth was locked to a multiple channel editing approach. In Audition, single editing is easy - you simply click the L or R at the right end of the sound channel to lock it and then you can edit the other channel only.
Soundbooth has been discontinued and Audition now has taken its place from CS6 to the Creative Cloud.
The above is some background info. To your current situation, you can use a workaround like:
* Export your audio file to separate channels by File > Export > Channels to mono files.
You will get 2 files with _L and _R suffix.
You can then edit them separately. You can go from Mono to Stereo by the following step.
Or
* Choose - Edit > Insert > Channels into New Multitrack file.
That will separate the Left and Right Channels and add them to a new multitrack file.
You can then click the Edit link at the top right of the channel to edit it.
You can then save that file as a new audio file.

Only right and left channels work with external sound card

Just got the USB Sound blaster xfi surround 5.. connected it to my laptop and connected to my home theather in a box using optical connection.
downloaded and installed latest software but when I do a channel check I only get sound out of the right and left and even then it does not sound right.
I have verified that my home theater in the box will play 5. with optical input and have verified with the built in test tones of the home theater that all speakers are working and correctly hooked up.
The laptop is ruiing windows xp 3.
Any suggestions.
Thank you.

Which S&V vi's do you mean to be dedicated to NI hardware?
A quick peek into the addon show me waveforms as input and the sound vis have a waveform output.
OK I didn't look at the examples and by habbit ignore the express vis . But maybe you just want to use a program instead of programming your application?

How can I get right and left channels out of an interleaved audio file?

Hi, everyone, I'm still on Logic 8))))So, have a question))I need to split a stereo audio file into two mono left and right channels, I could do it in audio editors, and somehow dunno how to do it in Logic...Anyone can help?

Do a long click on the mono-stereo button of the audio track. From the flipmenu, choose L.
Copy the Region to another track.
From that other track's mono-stereo button flipmenu, choose R.
Voila, direct access to left and right channels.

Problem with the right and left Channel

Hey Guys,
i bought a few days ago the X-Fi Titanium PCIe Card. Now my problem:?
After i installed the drivers i noticed that i can hear the sounds of the left speaker also in the right speaker of my Headphone (Sennheiser PC60). I made a channel test and here the same. The guy sais "Left Channel" and i hear it on both speakers. The same with the right channel.
I made a clean restart and uninstalled all Drivers and Applications and reinstalled them: -> Same problem
I made a clean Windows installation (Vista x64): -> Same problem
i tried the Daniel_K-Driver: -> Same problem
Have someone an idea to solve that problem?

When downloading video into FCP my two audio tracks are locked together.

When downloading HD video into FCP my two audio tracks are locked together. Channel one will not separate from channel two. Not good. One channel is my miked talent, the other abient. Any suggestions? I cannot find the problem. Sequence settings? Preference settings?
Help!

I think you mean "importing", not downloading.
Downloading is when you copy a file from an Internet server to your computer.

Select the two tracks and choose Modify > Stereo Pair
Or you can just use the keyboard shortcut option-L

Synchronizing two audio tracks

Hi, I have two audio tracks, one instrumental and one vocal. I want to attach the vocals to the instrumental. When I import both files to the garageband program I can't get them to synchronize. In other words I can't get the vocals to match up with the instrumental track. Is there any way to auto synch, or anything that can help me synch these two tracks. If anymore explaining is required let me know. I use garageband 3.0.4 if that info helps.

Why can't you sync them? Do they have different tempos? If they have the same tempo, you can just shift them back and forth until they match. Make sure you turn snap-to-grid off (cmd-g).

I'm trying to mix a guitar track so it is heard in the right and left ear and not in the center

I'm trying to mix a guitar track in GarageBand. I'd like to have the same guitar track heard in the right and left ear. When I mix it that way, the guitar comes from the center. Is there a way to place this track so that it appears to come from both the left and right side?

3 audio tracks (centre,right,çeft) : How to make stereo pairs?

Hi,
Working with one video track and three audio tracks (recorded as Centre, Left and Right) for each clip.
Having problems when I do overlaps or fades manually. I need to treat each track separately as not possible to make them a stereo pair.
Should I duplicate the Centre track and make it a stereo pair and make another stereo pair with Left/Right.
What should be the easiest way/workaround to treat/link the audio tracks so that sound transitions like manual overlaps/fades can be done?
Thanx

Hi-
Do your manual fade on one track of the three. Select the track with the manual fade and type command+C to copy it. Select the other two tracks and type Option+V. A window will open that will let you choose to paste only your level settings, pan, or content or any combination of those.
If you have elaborate manual mixing you might want to razor blade just the section of the the three audio clips you want to apply the sound transition to - so as not to disturb other parts of the mix.
Hope this helps.

QT H.264 files with two audio tracks. Quicktime plays 2nd track first. ***?

I've been experimenting with H.264 (AVC) and my DVDs. Using Handbrake, I ripped a DVD to MP4 (H.264) and including the director's commentary as the second track.
When I play the MP4 with Quicktime Player, it plays the director's commentary instead of the main soundtrack. VLC, however, correctly plays the first track (main movie audio track) and it allows me to select the second track via a menu.
To get Quicktime to play the proper track, I have to open "Movie Properties" and manually uncheck the second track. This was never a problem with DivX/XviD encoded files with two audio tracks; Quicktime Player correctly played the first track.
Why does Quicktime ignore the first audio track in MP4s (but not AVIs) and is there a way to correct this?

I do have QT Pro.
H.264 files are usually saved in a MP4 container. That's what Handbrake, ffpegX, and D-Vision create, anyway.
The "Choose Language" option is greyed out (unavailable) when I open this H.264 MP4 in Quicktime. If I try to change the settings in "Movie Properties," it says that I must save it with the .MOV file suffix.
It makes no sense to me that Quicktime Player can correctly identify the main audio soundtrack in a XviD file with an AVI container but not in a H.264 video with a MP4 container which Apple has been touting as the latest, greatest thing. Even VLC, an open source product still in beta, gets it right.

How to distinguish between two audio tracks on AppleTV?

Ripped movies with two audio tracks (AAC, 2-ch and AC3, 5.1) show both of the audio tracks as "English" on AppleTV. How do I know which one is the 2-ch or 5.1? Is there a way for Apple TV to show "English (Stereo)" and "English (Surround)"? I use Handbrake to rip DVDs, sometimes MP4Tools to convert audio, and Subler to tag them.

It is definitely possible to maintain separate sets of settings for two or more
publish connections of the same publish plug-in.
Without more detail on what exactly your code looks like, it is difficult to say what's not working right.
The contents of 'exportPresetFields' should be maintained on a per-connection basis.

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

How to burn a DVD with two audio track?

There is a projet with the original video and a second audio track with music. I want to burn a DVD with both audio tracks. When playing the DVD you should be able to select audio track 1 (the original sound) or audio track 2 (the music). With Adobe Encore DVD it was easy to configure the two audio tracks and burn the DVD. It is posible to do the same from Adobe Premier Elements 11?
Thanks,
Jordi

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, PrE does not allow for supplemental Audio Tracks, when authoring.
I use Adobe Encore for this, but it is only available bundled with Premiere Pro. I do not know if some other, third party, full-featured authoring apps., like Sony's DVD Architect can do that, but I would suspect that they can. The specifications for DVD Architect should have that information, and as it's quite common in full-featured authoring apps., I anticipate that it has that capability.
If you do go with that program, our MOD, Steve Grisetti, has written a very good book on DVD Architect, and it's available at Muvipix.com.
Good luck,
Hunt

Cutting two audio tracks in synchrony with video, question

I had to chop my movie in two because it did not fit on one DVD. This forum suggested that you make a complete second copy and delete the second half of one, and the first half of the other copy and burn your DVD with the respective halves. No problem with the first half, I deleted the video and had to go back and individually delete the audio tracks and everything stayed in synchrony. The problem arises when trying to delete the first half of the movie and not being able to use the play head to delete audio and video simultaneously. The audio of the first half of the movie is preserved, and if I delete the audio one track at a time it will shift the audio in relation to the video. I thought there would be a way of chopping off the video and audio tracks at the same point without the tedious task of trying to put everything back in sync "by hand". I have two audio tracks so it might be tricky to cut at the end of one audio track, without getting the other out of sync. Thanks for suggestions.
Mike

Hi Mike:
Perhaps the easiest way is to export the entire movie back to DV tape and then re-importing to imovie. That way, the entire movie is now combined into a "flattened" version. Meaning the audio and video are combined together into one video track, making it possible to split the final version in two.
Pain in the neck, but much easier that doing it one clip at a time.

Why video with two audio tracks imports like one track (main)?

Ok, lets face one simple thing that is incredibly stupid in Premiere CC:
- I make video with two audio tracks (screencast with system sounds and microphone, separated)
- Import it to Premiere CC and see only one audio track, system sounds!
- What should I do to see both of them?
- Why Sony Vegas don't make me to go to support forums and make them both visible without extra actoins?

Great first post!
