Stupidly only recorded onto one audio channel  when filming.

I stupidly only recorded to one audio channel when filming. Is there any way to get imovie to duplicate the recorded track onto the other channel?

I think if you open your video in Quicktime Pro you will be able to save as mono audio with both channels the same.

  • I only get one audio channel when i make a rough cut.

    Hey everyone,
    when I'm making a rough cut with my subclips in Adobe Prelude, he combines my two audio channels into one track. Even when i export my subclips to Premiere Pro I also get one audio track with two audio channels in it. What am I doing wrong?
    I'm working on Mac and Prelude CC 2014 and Premiere Pro CC v8.1.
    Can somebody help me?

    Hi Sven,
    You are doing nothing wrong here. If you will expand the audio track in both Prelude and Premiere, you can see that both the audio channels are in place. Its just the difference in the way the channels are being represented in Prelude timeline and rought cut.
    Please let me know if you are loosing any of your audio channel.
    Thanks,
    Ramesh.

  • I'm using GarageBand for voiceover and my voice is only recording in one track. How do I get it in stereo?

    I'm using a Bluebird mic hooked up to speakers and MAudio Fast Track interface.  I went to GarageBand preferences and set up the recording for MAudio and stereo but it's still recording in mono.  Any suggestions?

  • My external audio recording device only records to the right channel.  How do I send the sound in the right channel thru the left one in Final Cut to get a full stereo sound?

    My external audio recording device only records to the right channel.  How do I duplicate the sound in the right channel and run it to the left one in Final Cut to get full stereo sound?
    I've already copied and pasted the right channel (A2) onto the left channel (A1) but that just doubled the volume on the right channel.
    For instance, when I listen to my audio with headphones it only comes thru the right one.  How do I make it so that it comes thru both headphones?

    Stereo is something else. It is a sound field where the individual elements are located through varying the amount of electrical energy for each element delivered to each channel.
    What you have is a mono source that should be panned to center. This will equally divide the signal so it will be delivered out both the L & R channels.
    Load the original clip to the VIEWER and set the PAN to 0 (zero). Delete any duplicates. They are unnecessary.

    You have two basic options. One is to use a commercial screen recording app with access to system audio built into the app and the other is to add a system extension like SoundFlower that allows the QT X screen recorder to access/record the system audio. I use the former so I am not that familiar with SoundFlower but there should be several posts to this forum covering this topic.

  • Hearing only one audio channel in source window & in timeline

    Hi all,
    As most of you I get a lot of footage where the audio is split - left channel for gun-mic\\front-mic and right channel for neck mic.
    A lot of times I want to preview only one audio channel in the source window.
    I cant find a way to do it.
    Also whan I try to hear\monitor only one channel when the clip is in the timeline - its a problem -
    the only way I know is by using the fill Left\Fill right effect - it is good when I do the final mix
    but sometimes I just want to hear one of the channels.
    without the tidius way of adding an effect just to preview something and then deleting it.
    I'm sure there a way to do this - right?
    thanks!

    Thank you very much for replying
    Select the clip in the Project Window and duplicate.
    Select duplicated clip > clip > Audio Options > Source Channel Mapping.
    Disable one of the channel and hit OK
    Place this clip on the timeline and ALT + double click so it will open in the Source Monitor.
    This is a very messy and unconfterble way to work - because I need to toggle this every time I want to switch channels to monitor.
    Instead of adding the effect fill left/right you can toggle the effect on and off for the whole track in the Audio mixer.
    This is a nice solution when I work on the timeline - but it won't help when I go on the source footage.
    I think the only way to switch channels for a quick preview in premiere is by buying a Sound card with a channel switcher - or using a mixer...
    so dissapointing...

  • Missing one audio channel from MXF video

    Greetings,
    I have a bunch of footage shot with a Canon XF300 camera. Two wireless lav mics were feeding into the camera. On the day, I was monitoring audio and am 100% certain that it was recorded correctly. I found a couple of unerased CF cards from the shoot and was able to verify that the audio is good when I pop the CF card into the camera.
    However, when I transfer the footage to hard disk and attempt to play it out using either Premier Pro CS5, or VLC, I'm losing channel one of the audio. I've been attempting to troubleshoot, and have found a couple of references on the Web regarding missing audio channel 1 from MXF video files -- but nothing that is relevant to this situation.
    I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.6 and am running Premiere Pro CS5 5.0.3. No video cards.
    I've tried bringing the files in using: Finder, XF Utility and ShotPutPro. I'm copying the complete directory structure in all cases.
    Has anyone seen this problem before? Any troubleshooting thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Cameron

    It turns out that the MXF files are coming in with 2 mono audio tracks, and for some reason, in the clip viewer, one of the audio tracks doesn't play, but if you move the clip to the timeline, both audio channels can be heard. Ran into the same issue with Cineform encoded material coming in with two mono audio tracks. So I'm going to file a bug report.
    Ah, OK... now I understand. No need to file a bug report; maybe a feature request, but a bug report isn't necessary. Here's why:
    When you bring in clips with mono channels, by default, you only hear the first mono channel when playing back in the Source Monitor. If you toggle over to Audio Waveform view (click the Output button), you can select which of the channels (called "Tracks" which is a little silly, frankly) you want to monitor. Here's what this looks like:
    This applies to any format that has mono channels. If you interpret the footage to stereo (you must do this before you use it in a sequence), you can listen to both channels at once. Of course, then you have to deal with the audio as stereo, which is not always what you want. That's why I do a lot of my editing with MXF material (primarily P2) that has multiple mic sources in a sequence, where I can monitor more than one source channel.
    In any event, that's why this isn't really a bug; it might be a poor design decision, but it's otherwise working correctly. I'd definitely suggest making a feature request for a "Mixed" or "Plus" audio source option in the Source Monitor. I'm going to do the same.
    Anyway, I hope that helps explain the issue. Good luck!

  • 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.

  • Drop-out of one audio channel

    Hello all. When I drag a clip into the canvas, only one audio channel appears. This started about a day ago. No idea why it happened. I never had a problem before. I always had two channels. I know it's not the clips or my tape deck -- I tested them. I assume I changed an audio preference by accident. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks. M

    how about the track assignment switches on the let of your timeline? are they in order? If any of them appear disconnected (seperated) then your channels wont be placed on the timeline. If so click to toggle the connection on and of.

  • New FIOS install-on​ly one audio channel

    FIOS TV is great except that now I only have one audio channel (L) from my old(er) 5.1 Sony Home Theater.   FIOS was installed today replacing an a Direct TV setup which was at least able to play left, center and right (L,C,R).   I have no idea why I only have one speaker playing since the installer used the same plug ins that I had connected to my Direct TV.   Anyone have an idea why this is happening?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

      What kind of cable(s) are you using for the connection to the home theater? Is the cable(s) coming from the Verizon cable box or from the TV?
       If you are using two RCA audio cables (red and white), then one may be defective or not fully plugged in. Left is white and right is red, so check the one going to the red connector. You could try swapping the red and white cables. If your setup now has only right channel, the problem is with the "red" cable.
       If you are using digital coax or fiber optic cable, then I would suspect the device connected to the home theater (either TV or STB/DVR).

  • Premiere 7 - stereo sound exports without one audio channel

    Hi there.
    I have a strange problem with Adobe Premiere 7.0.
    Every time I export a wideo it looses one audio channel - the right one. I have no idea why.
    I have a stereo audio file in my Timeline and it plays in stereo during editing.
    I choose stereo sound for export, try different codecs and formats but nothing helps. After rendering the movie lacks the right audio channel.
    I've double-checked the source audio file in GoldWave - it does have the sound in both channels.
    Then I've double-checked the audio from the rendered movie - no right channel.
    What might be the source of this problem?
    Thank you for you help.
    Best regards,
    Szymon.

    Thank you for your answer A.T.
    The screens were from the GoldWave program (similar to Audacity). I've checked the original and rendered versions in Adobre Premiere. The rendered one does not have audio channel.

  • Only One Audio Channel [Left]

    I thought that my right channel was not working but after examining the problem, I have discovered that both audio channels work on my MacBook but they both only play from the left speaker. After playing with the balance in system preferences, both the right and the left channel play from the left speaker. Strangely, when I plug in my headphones, the left and right channels play as they should. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, do you know how to resolve it?
    Apple support suggested that I reset my PRAM & VRAM, and I did, but it didn't resolve the problem.

    Took my MacBook to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store...
    Bad News: It is a hardware problem that must be fixed, which means my brand new MacBook has to go away.
    Good News: Apple is going to replace my MacBook with a new one. They're even custom-building it all over again from scratch. Very nice of them.
    More Bad News: I am HUGELY inconvenienced because now I have to erase information from the MacBook that took hours to transfer, uninstall my upgraded RAM and downgrade it to stock, go several days without my new Mac because Apple refuses to ship the new one before the old one is returned, and finally invest even more time restoring information to the new Mac...shouldn't Apple compensate their customers for such a huge inconvenience? I didn't pay nearly $2000 to buy a broken computer only to return it and wait a week for another one.
    Although I feel that the methods of replacing my MacBook could be handled much better, I am glad that Apple is at least replacing my machine (which is more than I can say for some other PC Manufacturers...cough HP cough).

  • Only one audio channel in timeline?

    I’m working in FCP 6.06 and I don’t how or why it’s happened but I only have one audio track in the timeline. The audio is set to dual track mono. I’ve tried copying and pasting the track from channel A1 to A2 but it doesn’t work. I assume there is some important reason mono would be displayed in two tracks. Is there some way for me to fix this?

    Yes, it’s centered already. Very strange. Don’t know what I did when I brought two-channel mono from one sequence to another that caused it to become a single mono instead of dual mono. If the quality does not suffer then I guess it makes no practical difference as long as the sound is coming equally from both speakers.
    Thank you both for helping me out.

  • Audio only records from one side

    I am using a firewire solo...when I try to record guitar or mic through it into logic it only records on the left side (no sound coming from right)...
    Doesn't happen in Garage Band.
    Thoughts?

    Well, first, make sure you are aware of what channel you are using on your interface. Then go to I/O in the track pannel in logic that you wish to use. Make sure it coressponds to the appropriate channel. MONO.

  • Select just one audio channel to edit??

    I feel stupid for asking suck such a (seeminly) simple questions. 
    I recorded the voice track on channel 2 and the shotgun microphone of "natural sound" on channel 1.
    I ONLY want to edit with channel 2 (the voice track).  How do I select and edit just one channel (turn off the other channel)?
    Also, is there a way to see both waveforms of both audio channels (one turned on and the other turned off?)
    Thanks,  Barry

    Another dumb question... If I select Dual Mono how do I select the appropriate channel I want to use? 
    Right now I DON'T see any tracks or channels, just the drop down.
    I do remember that the top option has a drop down with Stero Left/Right and then a Pan control pops up.  Do I select that then pan it to the far left or right?  Or is this a different control?
    Thanks, Barry
