Split Stereo Channel Output into Left & Right

Is there a way to split the output of stereo channel strip (in this case, consisting of an EXS24 sampler, with some samples panned hard left) into two mono channels strips, auxes, or outputs (left and right)? For example, in Pro Tools you can select "Track > Split into Mono" to split a stereo track into two mono tracks, and control each resulting track independently. I'm talking about signal path, not splitting a saved AIFF or sound file. Is there a way to do this within Logic?

Route the output to a bus, then create two new aux channels and assign their inputs to that bus. At that point, you'll be getting the full stereo output routed to each of your two new channels. To split left and right, click-hold on the mono/stereo button at the bottom of the aux channels, and select "left" on one and "right" on the other.
That should do it!

  • ITouch stereo channels bleeding

    I have a problem with my iTouch's output jack's stereo channels bleeding into each other.  I currently use a 1st gen iPod for playing backing tracks for a band.  It works perfectly. I have mp3 tracks that have the click panned hard left and the backing track panned hard right.  No problems.  So I got the iTouch to do the same.  The tracks bleed into each other during playing, which cannot happen when using them as backing tracks.  I've had 2 itouchs now (a 2nd gen and now a 4th gen) and both are doing it.  Anyone had this problem?  Thanks.

    You could try bouncing the tracks down in another format, some times WAV files don't bleed.
    In settings on the Touch there may be a stereo enhancer function that is turned on, try turning that off.

  • I'm using GarageBand 10.0.1. Do the built-in drum tracks only come in mono format, or is it possible to make them true stereo (i.e. Left and Right channels outputing different signals, to sound like the kit has been panned across the stereo field)?

    I'm using GarageBand 10.0.1. Do the built-in drum tracks only come in mono format, or is it possible to make them true stereo (i.e. Left and Right channels putting out different signals, to sound like the kit has been panned across the stereo field)?

    All the Drum Kits available for GarageBand are mixed in stereo.
    Logic provides the same 18 Drum Kits also as "Producer Kits", which are multi-track outputs,. Each Drum Kit Piece (Kick, Snare, HH, etc) and also room mice and overheads are routed to individual channel strips.
    Here is a screenshot of one Drum Kit in Logic Pro X with individual Channels Strips. Each Channel Strip can be loaded with individual effects (compressor) and adduced with individual sends, etc.
    What that means is that all the Drummers are professionally recorded and sampled with individual mics. The Stereo Drums Kits are just "stereo mix-downs" for easier handling and less CPU demand. I explain all the details about the Drummer ecosystem in my graphically enhanced manual "GarageBand X - How it Works"
    Hope that helps

  • 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).

  • Merge Left Right into 1 Stereo Track

    I recall watching a video tutorial on some topic, and the presenter merged two separated LEFT RIGHT tracks in an MXF clip into one standard STEREO track.  I can't remember how he did it, or where the tutorial was I was watching to see it again.
    Does anyone know this little trick, and in what version of PPro it works in?

    Before the clip is used in a sequence, select it in your bin/Project Panel, and go to Clip > Audio Options > Source Channel Mappings. There you'll have several options about how to interpret the audio channels in your MXF clip, including "turning off" unneeded audio channels. Note that you must do this before the clip is in use, otherwise, the remapping options will be grayed out.
    Also, this works on CS3 forward.

  • Converting left channel audio into stereo file

    I'm using an edirol ua 25 which has two inputs, 1 which is a left channel and 2 a right channel. As i'm using the first input, the recorded audio pans hard left, how do I go about converting the recorded audio into a central stereo file?

    Why do you want to change it to stereo? It isn't a stereo (two-channel) recording, it's a mono, single-channel recording.
    Mono is not somehow "worse" than stereo, don't feel that need that everything should be recorded to two channels, it's a waste of resources.
    You can pan it anywhere in the stereo field - with the pan knob central, the mono track will be centered in the stereo field. You can pan it left or right accordingly.

  • Power Mac G5 Audio is outputting only the right channel

    I have an audio problem with my PowerPc Audio card, I presume. It is only outputting the right channel. I have a set of computer speakers and when I go into System Preferences and move the balance slider, there is only sound coming from the right channel. Absolutely nothing from the left.
    I found this problem when editing in FCP and needing to do a split track with VO on channel 1 and Nats and music on channel 2. I could see the meters showing the audio output from channel 1 but no sound coming through the Mac's left channel output.
    Also, I have a DeckLink extreme card in my system and when I test the L-R channel output I get the same problem. I do not know if the decklink is somehow using the Mac audio card for help with its output. I would think that it is using its own hardware for generating the audio output from the card.
    Hardware issue? Time for a Mac Genius repair? Don't know if there is any workarounds or fixes before I go that route. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Doug

    No I didn't but I run my Mac's output into an analog mixer and then out to my speakers.
    When outputting through channel 2 only, both speakers work, yet when I pan to channel 1 the sound drops out. As I pan from full channel 2, where both speakers are up full, you can hear the sound fade out.
    Also, I got the Deck Link card to work through my mixer. The L and R channels are outputting through separate inputs in the mixer and work independently and correctly. I even changed out the mini stereo cable just in case and still no left channel out of the Mac.
    Very weird! I've even repaired and defragged my system disk in case it is some sort of corrupted code. Just grasping at straws before I take it to a Mac Genius.
    Thanks for writing. I appreciate any and all suggestions.

  • Ddts-100 + audigy2 zs + 550thx mega works. only left/right output

    just purchased and installed the above system. however, when doing the software test under speaker settings, i only get front left and front right. all the others dont work. i have miniplug out from audigy (digital output) to (coaxial input) decoder, then decoder out (front left/right, rear left/right, sub/front) to megaworks input (front left/right, rear left/right, sub/front). i do the test on the ddts-100 decoder, and i get all 5.1 channels. now, just to clarify, i used the supplied mini plug to rca, that rca to the rca input (coaxial) the plug is the mono plug that came with the decoder. do i need to go out and buy the 4 pole mini plug? why dont they just supply it instead of the mono plug.. which isnt even shown to be used in my manuals.
    anyway, clarification would be good on the mono/4 pole miniplug. otherwise nice sound so far.cant turn it up cuz its midnight and highly doubt the neighbours would appreciate it.
    cheers
    Steve

    Hmmm... My guess is that this is due to your setup with digital out. Since the digital out on your soundcard will not pass through anything other than stereo PCM or encoded SPDIF data you will not get anything else but FL and FR channels when calibrating. Read more about this is the soundblaster forum section here.
    My suggestion, as I'm sure everyone else will, is to connect your soundcard using the analogue outputs into the switchbox of the DDTS-100.
    Edit: to be more precise this is how you can connect everything: from your soundcard, connect the analogue outputs into the switchbox of the DDTS-100. Connect the switchbox to the main DDTS-00. Connect the DDTS-00 main to the speakers. Now, connect the digital out from your soundcard into the coaxial input on the DDTS-100. When doing a calibration, switch to PC mode on the switchbox and calibrate. If you then want to use the digital out, enable digital out only in the speaker or THX settings. I use this setup at home actually but use the T7700 speakers instead.

  • In Final Cut Pro X 10.1.1 I'm trying to separate left and right stereo tracks to delete left and pan right to centre. I cannot find a way to do this.

    I record in stereo with a 10KHz tone down the left channel to defeat AGC on my camera and mic feed into the right channel. When I edit, I want to mute/delete the left channel and pan the right into the centre, to leave me with mono audio across both left and right. I could do this easily in FCP 6 but can find no way to do it in FCP X. I'm using the same source files. When I choose Dual Mono mode in the Audio Inspector, it mixes left and right and pushes the combined signal into both channels, giving me a mix of 10KHZ tone and audio in both left and right. Stereo mode shows me the two channels correctly with one driven hard (the tone) and the other at good voice levels. I just want to kill the left channel and pan the right to centre.
    I'm converting original TOD files using MPEG Streamclip before import and definitely keeping audio as stereo.
    This is driving me nuts! It should be simple and is in FCP 6. Any help greatly appreciated.
    Stereo Setting
    Mono Setting

    Mb - If you're using FCPX 10.1.1 and Mavericks, make certain you've downloaded the most current Sony XDCAM FCPX plugin from sonycreativesortware.com unless you're using an older version of FCPX and then you'd need the previous XDCAM plugin.
    You shouldn't see 8 mono tracks.  There are import settings in /fCPX that you can check and I don't ask FCPX to analyze my media or seperate mono or combine stereo, etc.  I like to have everything come in as it is, especially because I know what I've done with every channel, etc.
    What I wrote to Ian is what I'd tell you - so please take a look at how you can make a "stereo" track that is actually two mono tracks, mono.  Once you do that you can address each mono channel by itself since it needs different volume, compression, and EQ than other channels.
    There are ethernet, USB, and firewire controllers that work in FCPX, but that's not the typical workflow because generally if you're getting into any amount of post audio sweetening beyond basic "staples" audio treatment, you would instead use "Roles" to export your audio to Logic or Pro Tools and do you work in those applications and then cut the final product back into your FCPX project.  In Logic or Pro Tools is where you might use a controller.
    In terms of automating levels, I'm not positive I know what you mean.  Compressor is a nice internal Logic plugin that kind of automates levels in a way but its about compressing peaks at a threshold that you set and at a ratio of compression.  So I may not understand what other automation is available unless you've exported you tracks to Logic or Pro Tools.

  • In GarageBand how can I record a mono source into both stereo channels?

    I am working on a project that has only 1 track (Casio keyboard plugged into my Mac's audio input). This obviously, results in a mono recording using the left channel only. Is there any way to copy that track into the right channel, so at least the recording sounds balanced? Right now it is very heavy on the left, with a little sound leakage into the right channel. Adjusting the pan position of the track doesn't seem to help. Anyone have any ideas?

    If it is an head phone output it should be a sterio output.
    (You can verity it with headphone)
    But your guit. jack is a mono cable. ( 1/4" unbalance I think)
    You would need and 1/4 balanced cable and be sure that your 1/8 adapter is
    sterio. (they usually are, but checking alwas good)
    Your could get an 1/4 sterio to 1/8 sterio adapter plug into your keyboard output
    ane have an 1/8 cable from that to your mac.
    Or anything else it is basicly a cable thing you have to work out.

  • How to split stereo track into 2 mono

    How to split a stereo audio track into two seperate mono tracks (Left, Right).
    (Have searched the manual..)
    Bonqui

    Also, where you select mono or stereo for a track below the level meter you can click + hold and select L or R. Instead of bouncing, you can convert the files, for me this gives fewer room for error. Also disabling UTM works in some cases, but this is not ideal for every session.

  • Line In Recording Left/Right Channell

    I hav an XFi-Titanium. I select the "Audio Record Mode". Then I record something with a Keyboard that's only on the Right-Channel. While I record something I hear nothing. When I stop the recording and play it afterwards, I hear the sound I recorded and its ony Right Channel like I wanted it to be. Line In is switched on and when I put the intrument on both channels I hear Music li've? while playing on the Instrument. If I put the Intrument on the Right Channel I hear nothing while playing li've. Only after recording I hear what I played on the Right Channel. My Question is why I don't hear the Right Channel while playing li've (When the Instrument only outputs a Right Channel sound) and when I record the same thing and then push play on the record programm I hear the right channel. So if I want to edit a multiple track song and for example put a Piano on the right channel I can't hear anything while playing on the Keyboard. I have to record it to hear what I played. So the right channel doesn't work li've. If I switch the Piano Sound to the Left Channel it has the same effect as putting the Piano Sound on both Channels. (I hear the Piano out of both Speakers)
    Any Ideas why this isn't working li've, only working after recording?
    gargamosch

    )Re: Line In Recording Left/Right ChannelleI use Adobe Audition. I played arround with my settings and found out that to mute the right channnel or unmute it does not effect the li've-playback of line in. Only the left Channel (mute / unmute) has an effect. So if I put an Instrument on both channels, both channels go through the left channel while playing. If I put an Instrument only on the rigt Channel I hear nothing. If I put an Instrument only on the Left Channel I can hear it. So for li'veplayback only the left channel works. Recording uses two channels. I found out in the Audio-Creation Console of the Xfi- Titanium that, looking at the Playback Volume Meter, only the left channel shows something, while? the Record Volume Meter shows something on both channels. It seems that the Soundcard handles realtime-playback of line in and recording of line in different. Realtime - playback of line in seems to be mono while line in recording seems to be Stereo. Is there maybe a switch or a setting to get realtime playback of line in to stereo? Is it a driver problem and realtime Stereo isn't supported by line in on the X-fi?

  • Center channel audio bleeding into left channel

    When working on the audio mix for a project I discovered that dialogue would bleed into the left channel for some reason although the panner is set to center exclusive for that track. Can anyone else replicate this problem or can an expert chime in to confirm if this is a bug? It's definately bugging me
    EDIT I am on 2014.2

    with Premiere Pro CC 2014.2, build 8.2.0, I do not have any success with the center channel isolated with the stereo or mono audio
    how about a work around with using an adaptive track, then channel output map the stereo input 1 and 2 both to output 3 (center channel)

  • RMBP 15" right channel output not working properly

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a Retina Macbook Pro 15" no more than 3 months ago.
    Today I just noticed that whenever I connect my headphones I can hear the left channel clearly but the right channel is a lower volume and distorted.
    at first I thought it was the headphones, but have tried various ones and it doesn't seem to be that.
    Also, output from the internal speakers sounds fine, same level on both channels and clear
    Has anybody had this problem?
    Thanks,
    moih

    Already tried zapping the PRAM, to no success...
    I'll definitely bring it to a Genius bar since it also has a problem i didn't disclose here where the USB on the left hand side intermmitently connects and disconnects whenever i connect my iDevice...
    Thanks anyways

  • Can iTunes play a stereo song that consists of two files (Left & Right)?

    I generate stereo mixes in Pro Tools that are saved as two wav files, left and right channels, not as an interleaved stereo file. For example: StereoMix.L.wav and StereoMix.R.wav. This is normal for wav files.
    I have converted these files to three different formats in Music Man Converter: AAC, MA4, and MP3.
    The resulting stereo files also consist of two files each: Left & Right.
    I want to add these to the iTunes Library and then compare audio quality. However, I can't get any of them to play. They appear in the Library as two separate files.
    Can iTunes deal with a stereo mix consisting of two files, rather than a single stereo file?
    How do you select both files to play simultaneously as a single stereo song?
    Do I need to combine them somehow before iTunes can play them?
    Thanks!

    What program is used to do this?
    Most mixing engineers I know use Pro Tools HD to mix music, and the resulting mix is always two files, L & R. I am wondering how iTunes handles normal wav files?
    Anyway, I just need help on a workaround.......how do i combine wav, AAC, M4A, MP3 files that consist of two files?
    The only file format that I have generated as an interleaved stereo file is MP3, which Pro Tools normally converts to one file when you generate an MP3.
