... Separate/select audio channels ...

Is it possible to select audio channel for monitoring ?
I have some footage with interview and the journalist need to listen only channel 1 (microphone) and mute the channel 2 (camera built in microphone).
As the same in XDCAM Transfer.
Thanks

Final Cut Server (and XDCAM Transfer) aren't set up to adjust what has been recorded (there's not even a volume control).
Just open the computer's Sound system preference pane and pan the output all the way to the left.
Of course if you are going through a mixer you can just mute channel 1, or if you're wearing earphones take the one out of your right ear...

Selecting audio channels during capturing

I am in the process of capturing a interview style documentary that was shot with a Panasonic AG-DVX100B. The interviews that were shot on location used a handheld wireless microphone connected to line 1. Normally, I would set the capture setup to only capture line 1 of the audio so that the built-in camera mic on line 2 would not be captured and create an echo. I would then capture the entire day's shoot into one clip. The shoot is about 45 minutes in total.
During this particular day's shoot we shot some footage in the car using only the built-in camera mic. The camera was still set to use the wireless receiver on line 1, so only line 2 has audio (from the camera mic). So as you can figure, when I captured my normal way with only line 1, there was no audio for the car scenes.
The audio from the car scene was recorded fine on line 2 so now I need to come up with a different process for capturing this show... and maybe reconsider the way way I capture all together. I have not started editing so it's okay to recapture at this point.
My question is:
1. Should I capture each of the three locations seperatly with different audio settings and do a batch capture? ie; Location 1 (line 1 for handheld mic) Car (line 2 for camera mic) and Location 2 (line 1 for handheld mic).
2. Do I capture both line 1 and 2 into one 45 minute clip and select the audio channel that I want from within FCP?
3. If answer 2 is the recommendation, how do I do that without having to deselect an audio channel in each edit in the timeline.
Thanks in advance for the assistance!

go for option 2,
you can de-select the errant audio track from the source side when you create your sequence so you don't have to do it to all edits. thats one of the joys of editing!
you may find you have some good sound on the other mike though don't just throw it away
best regards

Select audio channels from a video

I have imported a video in Audition CC.
The video is an H264 with 4 audio channels.
How can I select a specific channel that I want to later export in MP3?
Only the first channel is visible in Audition CC.
Thank you.

In the Files pane, there is only one audio item along the video item.
Handbrake sees the 4 audio channels and allows me to export the channel I want.
I wonder if Audition can do the same.

VCD selecting audio channel

Hi,
I have some vcd's with two different audio channels. Left for cantonese and right for mandarin. I would like to watch those vcd's with quicktime 7, but I can't find out how to select the audio channel. Does someone have an idea? I have also VLC, but it's not really working well with vcd's =(
Best Regards,
Fung

A VCD is just a MPEG-1 file with a different name.
Mount the VCD and open it using the Finder. Drag the blah.DAT file to your Desktop (it will copy) and change .DAT to .mpg
Editing audio in the QuickTime Player is a "Pro" feature but the free Player can give you some control over audio playback.
With the file open in the QT Player hit Command-K and the A/V Controls window will open. Set the balance slider to the right or left to hear the different tracks.
MPEG Streamclip (free) can extract the audio (not much help for these mixed tracks) but maybe you could use third party software to delete one of the channels.

Premier Pro C.C.2014 combining separate AVCHD audio channels into one?

I am having an issue when it comes to working with AVCHD audio in P.P.C.C. 2014. I have gone through and done the proper importing of the video multiple times through the media browser.
But every time I put a clip into the timeline, it will put my channel 1 and channel 2 audio on the same audio channel. It's as though it isn't even reading the separate audio channels.
I spent two hours on chat with Adobe tech support to no avail. He said that Adobe did support AVCHD files, but that I should try to record my audio on a separate external device. That obviously is not going to happen nor is it correct, as the camera has two XLR audio inputs, so there are two different audio channels.
Has anyone had to deal with this issue and if so, are there any resolutions?

i haven't played with any footage like this to be sure the best way to do this... however the default sequence is set for stereo, as in two channels (left/right). if you have more than that, say 3 or 4 channels then you may need to create a sequence using multichanel in order to have global controls thru the mixer panel, to disable channels 1/2 and use only 3/4. it may be possible to highlight all your clips in the timeline, right click and choose the "audio channels" option to switch them to channel 3/4. if its two recordings into two channels, i think the "audio channels" will be the way to go. "audio channels" option is available in the project bin as well, under modify.

4 audio channels in Premiere Pro CS5.5

I have recorded with PMW320, which writes to 4 audio channels separate. When I put the timeline of Premiere Pro CS4, the channels come apart. In Premiere CS5.5 does not happen, being allocated only one channel. How to change that?

Jim thanks for listening. The same file card XCAM removed, placed in timeline premiere CS4, appears the 4 separate mono audio channels, quabdo put in timeline premiere CS5.5, it arquivoMP4, so put a audio channel.

Play a QuickTime file with eight separate audio channels

I'm trying to play a QuickTime file with eight separate audio channels but they only play in stereo...... the same QT file will play all 8 channels separately in Qlab, which has separate level controls for each channel, and which "sees" my Digidesign 002 audio interface. But QT does not recognize the interface, nor does Audio MIDI Setup utility, apparently..... it will play all 8 channels mixed to stereo through channels 1 and 2

The following will answer both your questions a) and b).
Click on your master timeline and press cmd+0 (zero) to bring up Sequence Settings, then click on the Audio Outputs tab on the right. Click on the Outputs option and change it to 6. You can leave them as Stereo pairs.
Now, back on your timeline, you need to make sure all your audio is organised so each track. A1, A2, A3, A4 etc has all the relevant media on it.
Then, on the left of the timeline you see the Destination toggle buttons, then you see the Padlocks to lock tracks, then you have the Toggle Auto Select squares. If you right-click on the Toggle Auto Select squares you bring up a little sub-menu, at the top of this list you'll see Audio Outputs, which will show the stereo channels for that particular track. As you've changed the number of Audio Outputs in the Sequence Settings, the list will show: 1&2, 3&4, 5&6. You just tick whichever channels you want.
In your case, you have dialogue on the first 4 tracks, no problem, just go down through tracks 1,2,3 and 4 as described above and assign these to Audio Outputs 1&2.
Then just go down through your music and effects audio tracks and assign them accordingly.
Now, when you export your timeline as a self-contained media file, it will have different audio channels.
I hope that makes sense. When you change the number of audio outputs as described in the first step, I believe the rest of it is fairly self explanatory, once you know where the settings are.

Can't separate audio channels into tracks

I have four channel audio that was recorded for a short film - a wireless lav for each of the two actors, a boom, and an empty channel. I have it setup as four mono and can tick the box that turns a channel on or off but I am unable to separate this into individual tracks in order to edit their levels individually or export for my sound editor.
The sound was synced in FCP X to the video for each clip, so what I have tried is selecting "break apart clip items" for a clip, which breaks the four channel audio out into one dual stereo track. Whether I change this to four mono again or not the end result is the same - I select it and choose "break apart clip items" again, at which point then I get this:
Every time. Three tracks, one of which is positioned ahead of the other two and goes on for what would be the total duration of the take. If you click any of these tracks the Channel Configuration is grey and says "Audio Channel Configuration is unavailable for the selected clips". If you solo any of the clips it sounds like it's just a mixed version of the four original channels.
I've tried going into the timeline of a synced clip and breaking apart in there but I get the same result as above.
I need to be able to access, edit, and export these channels as individual tracks. If all I can get is a premixed version of the four tracks then how am I supposed to do a sound edit and mix?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have tried both copying the tracks to a new sequence and also tried the Preferences Managers tool (thanks for that - great tool!). Still no luck. Any other suggestions?
I've attached a screenshot in case there is something obvious that I'm missing.

I do not see a way to separate audio channels to edit them separately in Premiere Elements (any version).
Premiere Elements does have audio effects including Balance, Fill Right/Fill Left, and Swap channels, but that is not what you are seeking.
I would refer you to an audio editor such as the free Audacity for what you want to do.

How do I select just one audio channel in Final Cut Pro X?

I know this has been asked and answered somewehre... and I'm pretty sure the answer is simple. But I don't have hour's to search the net.
And the FCPX "Help" feature just ****** me off....
I recorded voice on channel 2 and shotgun nat.sound on channel 1.
I only want the voice track (channel 2) to playback in stereo.
I have already edited the video so I don't want to re-import the raw video to seperate out just the channel 2 voice track.
How do I select just one audio channel in the timeline, then pan it so it plays back in both the L and R channel?
Also, some of the audio was recorded with a air conditioner running in the background. Any suggestions on best audio filers to remove or lessen it?
Thanks, Barry

I think you want to select the clip in the Timeline, choose the Inspector and then Audio, dual mono.
You can even do this by selecting multiple clips.
In the Event Browser as well.

How can I export a Video while keeping separate Audio Channels?

I'm trying to export some AVCHD footage and convert to ProRes. However, I do not want to mix the left and right channels together so that they both end up playing the same audio in the ProRes file. I have audio from one mic on Channel 1 and audio from another mic on Channel 2, and I would like to keep that once the video files is exported. I'm new to Premiere Pro so instead of spending an hour trying to figure it out myself I was hoping someone could help me out.
Thanks,
Mike

Right on. Now, the technical explanation, so you know what's going on:
Your footage imported with dual mono tracks--whether it was recorded that way or mapped that way on import, only you can say. When you dropped it into a sequence (or on the New Item button), the source audio tracks were placed in mono sequence tracks, but the sequence has a stereo master track. When the audio from these tracks is routed from the sequence tracks to the master tracks, since it's mono and by default panned center, it outputs to both output channels equally. By panning the mono tracks hard left and hard right, respectively, you're essentially isolating each of those tracks to a particular output channel.
Had your audio been shot as stereo or if you had remapped the dual mono tracks (right-click the clip in the bin before using it in a sequence and go to Modify > Audio Channels) to function as the two channels of a stereo clip, you could have dropped the clip into a stereo sequence track, and the separation would have maintained (assuming the sequence was using a stereo master track). This is a viable solution, too, but may limit your editing a bit more since instead of two separate mono audio tracks, you're working with one stereo audio track.
Either way will work; experiment to decide which will work best for your workflow.

How can I separate Left and right audio channels in labview 8.5 tia sal22

How can I separate Left and right audio channels in labview
8.5 tia sal22
Greetings All
I have a working Labview vi that converts a math formula to an
audio signal. I would like to have the
right and left audio channels playing different math audio signals is this
possible?
Example
Right channel -> plays the audio signal created by a math
formula
Left channel -> plays the audio signal created by another
math formula with adjustable phase control
I’ve included a VI with a working audio and math formula but
I’m not sure how to separate the left and right channels.
I’m using labview 8.5
I looked up a similar question on the
support board and it said” use an instance of the the Sound Output Write that
has a 1D waveform data type input (i.e. Sound Output Write (DBL)). Each
element in the array would correspond to a channel.”
But I’m not exactly sure what he meant. I’m using a formula to generate the wave file

Sorry it took so long to get back. Here's the new VI with it splitting out the left and right channels.
I'm using a Gigaport HD 8 output usb audio device but I'm experience clicks and pops. I increase the buffers
but I still get the clicks and pops. I know gigaport HD can use ASIO drivers which most likely would solve the problem but one needs to code in C for this which I'm not proficient in. Can someone recommend a work around to prevent this clicks and pops, can I somehow change my VI to fix this? Does anyone have a VI that will allow access to the ASIO latency properties?
I'm using labview 8.5
And a gigaport HD which is a USB audio device which outputs 8 analog signals (it is ASIO compatible)

Error message 'the selected file cannot be linked because it has 2 audio channels and the clip was created with 1 audio channel'

Can anyone help with the error message I'm getting 'the selected file cannot be linked because it has 2 audio channels and the clip was created with 1 audio channel'. I had to move the footage to another folder and now am unable to link it - just getting this error message instead.... Has anyone had to deal with this before?

Relink to the correct media.

Error message: The selected file cannot be linked because it has 6 audio channel(s) and the clip was

I recently purchased/upgraded from Premiere Elements 5 to Premiere Elements 9 and I cannot open the projects in version 9 that were created with version 5. It shows it as offline. I get a message to open up a file and when I do i receive the error message: The selected file cannot be linked because it has 6 audio channel(s) and the clip was created with 2 audio channels. Can someone help me or tell what I am doing wrong? All of my projects that were completed in version 5 cannot be opened up in version 9.
Thank you.

Bill,
I ran G-Spot on one of the files and here it what I have:
DVD "VOB" format
MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud }
Sys Bitrate: 10080 kb/s VBR
I guess I am really confused. The project that I am trying to open PrE 9 was completed in PrE 3 w/templates , scenes, etc. The movie was burned to a DVD. I cannot understand why I cannot open it with a newer version of PrE. According to G-Spot (I am assuming this is what you mean above), it is already in 2 channels. To me this should be ok. I put many, many hours into these videos and now it seems all for not.
Here is what I did so far:
I uploaded the required media files to a new project in PrE9 and let them index and conform. I saved the project with the same name in a different location. Do I have to do this to the project files and/or the original media files? Confusion starts here.
The next step is where I am confused. I do not know if I am proceeding in the right direction from here. There is the share tab in the upper right hand corner. Is this what you are talking about? I am truly lost from here.
Thanks.

How to separate left and right audio channels?

I've imported some AVCHD footage that had audio recorded separately to each channel, left and right. When I put a clip in my timeline, I can separate the audio tracks, but I can't edit them individually. When I bring down the level to 0db on one track and play the clip, the audio meter still shows equal levels on both left and right channels. Any advice?
Second question - I transcoded some AVCHD footage to MP4 and can't figure out if the audio tracks remain separte after the transcoding. I used Free MTS M2TS Converter to do the transcoding. While I can choose 'dual mono" for an AVCHD clip, I do not have that same option for the MP4 clip. It offers me "6 mono" but not dual mono. Any advice?
My concern is that when I provide my clients with raw MP4 footage with right and left audio recorded separately, that they'll be able to edit each track individually.
Thanks!

Thanks Tom. I recorded 2-channel audio, not 5.1 surround. Six mono was only an option on the MP4 clip. I did change the channel configuration from stereo to dual mono on the AVCHD clip, but I still wasn't able to edit the audio independently. Even when I mute one track, the audio meter still shows equal left and right levels.
