Split audio tracks come back in as still stereo??

Zoom recorded audio track.  Two interleaved tracks.  One side voice, the other side guitar.  The track comes in as a stereo track.  I export out the track as 'split'.  The exported result is two separate mono files.  One file is voice, the other file is guitar.  So far, so good.
I bring the two separate mono tracks BACK into Logic ... and EACH ONE is still a stereo track with the voice and guitar on left and right respectively.
I'm trying to figure out why Logic is doing this ... and what click I am missing that is causing it.
All ears,
Ben

If the Logic 'mono' files are in the same folder - when I bring them into Logic, Logic somehow turns them back into stereo (no matter which I bring in, left or right).  If I take the Logic created mono files and re-export them with Quicktime 7, then they come into Logic as separate 'mono' files.
If I separate the two mono files into different folders, then bring them in one at a time, they come in as separate 'mono' files.  When they are in the same folder, no such luck, they come in as two 'stereo' files, even though they SAY 'mono'.
So Logic has some kind of unusual protocol where it somehow reads a split mono file as the original unsplit stereo file (if both files come from the same folder).
Is there a way to alter this protocol???  I'm getting the 'logic' of why Logic does this.

  • Splitting audio track

    I want to split an audio track in iMovie 09, and then move the end piece of the audio split to another section of my video. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

    I did think of that, but in trying it, the tracks overlap each other, and it's hard to figure out which track is which. I can see both as green lines above and below the movie frames, but can't select the added one--only the original will highlight. In clip trimmer, I can't tell one track from another.
    I haven't used GarageBand, just looked at it, and at first glance, don't see an easy way to open an iTunes tune, clip out 6 seconds I want, save it, and add to my iMovie.
    My goal is just to take a small slice of the music and add it to the closing of the movie. In Photo to Movie, it's real easy to clip the audio (I'm creating movies from stills, and dropping movies once I go to iMovie) so maybe I should stick to using P to M for music purposes. But I'll take a look at the tutorial you mention. Thanks much.

  • Importing a project into PE 12 trial version, not all audio tracks play back!

    I'm trying the trial vesion of PE 12.  Imported a project that I had created with PE 9.  Everything appears to have been imported, including all the audio tracks.  But when i play it back, some of the audio tracks are completely muted, while others, are fine and I can hear it.
    Any idea what can cause this?

    With "muted" Audio Tracks, I would look at a few possibilities, and especailly with a Project created in an earlier version of PrE:
    Open Audio Mixer, and look to see if any Tracks are Muted.
    Play the Timeline, and observe the Levels in Audio Mixer, and also whether there is any movement of the "sliders" in Audio Mixer.
    Observe which Audio Tracks your Audio Clips are, in the Timeline, and report those please.
    Making sure that Keyframe Display is set to Volume in your Audio Clips, are there any Volume Keyframes?
    I am sure that others will have a few more ideas, and questions.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Audio tracks play back wrong audio

    at some point in my mix sessions , in different sessions , one of my audio tracks starts playing back audio from both its channel and another channel simultaineously. there not always adjacent tracks , not assigned to the same voice and have seemingly nothing in common. if i change voices i can sometimes allieviate the problem or it will start playing a different track audio simultaineously. i have two records pending and need some immediate help please...

    D,
    Just to warn you (or throw some experience in). Logic 7 has for me, operated poorly with sessions created from older versions of Logic. It is often fine if you just want to duck in and grab something but the sessions do go weird if you just keep using them they go batty and can often get kind of self destructive.
    Updating/merging/replacing the environment is one of the first steps to take, just creating new updated objects helps, even using presets and channel strips from older versions seem to give problems. Copying objects and configurations over can give you different results, but basically the more you replace and create as new the less problems you'll have.
    So you know you have alot of reworking to do if you really want to do alot of work with these in the current version. Determine where a good transition point would be and try to follow with that. Often mixing or sooner than later but plan on taking some time reworking things. It's almost easiest to just grab everything and paste it over into a 7 built autoload-without the plugins. Audio Objects and plugin instances seem to give alot of problems. I usually end up redoing a bunch of stuff if I have a ways to go and export away. Things really get fixed along the way but it is a pain and better to do it sooner. Unless you're coming up on a mixing stage or something soon I'd just do it (and keep a backup of the older versions just in case I want to retrieve something.
    I am working on an album that was created on a 6 autoload and 12 of 13 tracks had to be reformatted in 7 from forward INcompatabilities-some of them twice because they did not get a 100% clean autoload (as in the instruments and/or audio objects were opied over). Maybe I'm just weird, don't take only my word on this because it is alot of work for many projects to just redo things like this but you should be aware of what some people have encountered and be prepared to take some of those steps if there are more people saying their experience has been like this.
    Best of Luck

  • Is it possible to set up a split audio track....

    ...while recording and create 2 channels with their own effects settings. I have a Tascam US-122MKII audio interface. If one guitar is plugged into LEFT channel and one into RIGHT channel, can they be split up while recording?  I don't quite know if the TASCAM allows for this I'm not seeing anything in the manual and don't see wether LOGIC is capable of doing that? The idea is to record 2 guitars at once but split up the stereo into seperat tracks and then add effects so that each player has a different sound. The TASCAM allows 2 intruments ie: voice/guitar,or right and left XLR input but so far everything is imported to 1 stereo track...Any ideas on wether it's possible? Thanks everyone.

    Hi
    What I'm saying is:
    Make a new MONO audio track (use the + button). Assign it to input 1
    Make a second new MONO track, assign it to input 2
    Name both tracks, record-enable both tracks, and record.
    You could, of course, make both tracks in one go via the new track dialog box, and hav ethem automatically assigned to ascending inputs.

  • Record desktop with split audio tracks?

    Is there some program that can record the desktop, as well as multiple audio channels? I need to keep the audio channels split, so I can later individually mute them and edit them when I need to.
    If there is no such application available for Linux, I guess the only option would be to record the audio separately. Feel free to suggest audio recording applications able to record multiple channels too. I'd prefer to have just one application handling both video and audio though, as that prevents any potential syncing issues.
    Thanks in advance!

    Presuming you have your audio devices configured as separate streams (be they jack, alsa or pulse) you can use ffmpeg via the command line to record desktop using the x11grab input source and then route as many audio tracks as you desire. Check the ffmpeg wiki for more. Googlefu applies. Let me know if you need help with more direct information.

  • How to split audio tracks into left and right channels as we do in FCP or Avid needed for dubbing?

    We are recording in two languages, one in left and the other in right channel. However, in Adobe Premiere Pro we are not able to split the track when we take up for rought cut. Both the tracks are found mixed. Pl help. Since we need to maintian the split track to dubb into other languages.

    You need to do this before adding the footage to the sequence:
    Select the clip (or multiple clips) in the bin
    Menu > Clip > Modify > Audio Channels (Shift G)
    Change 'Number of Audio Tracks' to 2
    Change 'Channel Format' to Mono
    Dismiss the info message.
    When you place the clip in a sequence it will now drop L and R into separate tracks (assuming your sequence allows that audio model).

  • Any way to split audio tracks in iMovie 09?

    The only way I know how to shorten an audio clip (after all the video clips are there) is by changing the duration of the clip in the inspector. This can be rather laborious, trying to guesstimate the point at which you want the music to end. Anyone knows of a more efficient way?

    Convert the Trailer to a standard project. You may then be able to edit the title or replace the title with one more suited to what you wish to apply. To convert the Trailer, in iMovie's menu select File>Convert to Project. Now you can edit virtually any part of the converted Trailer, but be careful to maintain the duration - otherwise the video will not match up perfectly with the supplied audio track.

  • Splitting audio tracks

    ok, so i have a vocal track, and the friend of mine who did it said some pretty vile things (and trust me, when i say vile, i mean viiiiiiiiiiiile! haha) so what id like to do is go in and cut out the small pieces of audio where those lovely words rest and then twist them up or reverse them as to make them illegible.
    i would just have him come in and do another take, but i have a feeling this is a once in a lifetime thing and i could probly never pull that out of him again. lol, so any advice is much appreciated!
    all the best!
    p&L

    Select the scissors tool, go to the beginning of the offending region and cut there; the same at the end.
    Change yout tool to arrow and double click on the segment that you created: that shoul open the audio editor.
    Select all the waveform and, under the Functions menu, choose Reverse (not Inverse!).
    cheers

  • Garageband won't split audio track?

    For some reason the split transition in the edit list is not functioning properly. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? It was working just fine towards the beginning of the audio file, but now, nothing.
    Thanks,
    R

    "not functioning properly" doesn't really tell us anything at all (kind of like "My car was working a couple of days ago, now it's not working right. Do you know what's wrong?")
    Give us a step by step of what you're doing, and what's happening/what you're seeing, including defining what "not functioning properly" means. With some luck, someone will have an idea for you.

  • Split audio tracks between speakers

    I'm trying to develop a dichotic listening task where separate tracks are played through each speaker which are listened to at the same time.  I need help!  Do I use Premiere or Audition and if so, how?

    Thank you.  I played around with this all day and found the problem was bringing the track (its a person saying a list of words) in as mono it only displayed on the one speaker.  I figured it out in Audition (it doesn't have a video track) but it is cumbersome because I have to open the track in the waveform, copy and paste it into both speakers, then delete one or the other speaker tracks in order to push one to the left and one to the right.  It is for a research project I am doing.  Next step is to match the different words so they start and stop at the same time!  thanks again.

  • Is there a way to select multiple audio tracks and make all of them stereo pair at the same time?

    I selected multiple tracks, pressed "option L" but was not able to make multiple clips stereo pair at the same time.

    If I remember correctly it is not possible modify a group of selected clips on the timeline with the Stereo Pair command - unless all the selected clips have exactly the same properties - such as being linked to  video clips, etc. So you have to manually go through and select the dual mono tracks you want to pair individually or in smaller groups to be able to apply the Stereo Pair command.
    If you select a bunch (a couple)  of clips, and go to the menu Modify, you will see if Stereo Pair is grayed out or not. If it is grayed out, then you can't apply it to those clips as a group, but you probably will be able to apply it if you make smaller selections of clips.
