Two audio tracks with same label

I have two audio tracks labeled Audio3. Is this something normal or an anomoly? Can I correct this? Thank you for you help.

Vinay,
This is weird, but I don't know if it related to the Audio label issue. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to where the which audio track is used when I place an item into a video track. In this project I am using .mts files for my video and the audio has been going into Audio 2, except for the one marked in the image below, which is in Audio 3. When I tried to move it to Audio 2, it slipped up to Audio 1. This is throwing me off, because I have background music in Audio 3 and want a different audio level.

Recording to two audio tracks at same time

I am having trouble recording a vocal on track one and a guitar, (via second microphone)
onto track two. I am going through an Apogee, and I have phantom power enabled on both
mics. However when I click the record button on one track it seems not possible to click
the record button on the other track. I have input monitoring button selected on both tracks
and the main record button selected.
Any suggestions at all will be most welcome. I have looked in previous forums and read and
tried various options, but no luck at all so far.
Thanks very much

Hello to Data Stream Studio and howdy cowbell bill. Thanks you both for your replies
and it sounds like you are both in agreement as to what the problem is.
Keeping in mind what you suggested,
I went back onto Logic this morning, but I'm still having the same problem of not being able
to record enable two audio tracks simultaneously. I have checked both mics and both mic
cables, and the breakout cable that leads into the Apogee pre-amp. Those things are all OK.
I've now tried to back-track and to trouble-shoot what little I know. This is what I've done :
1: Shut down and re-opened Logic
2: Opened a new project.
3: Shut off the phantom power for both mics
4: Disconnected both mics and cables
5: Opened a new audio track (track one)
6: Assigned mic 1 to audio track one.
7: Assigned mic 2 to audio track two.
8: Re-connected cables
9: Turned the phantom power back on for both mics.
10: Enabled the input enable/monitor button for both tracks (in the track header)
11: Turned on the main record button in the transport bar.
12: Tried to turn on the record button for both tracks. (in the track header)
11: I can only turn on one at a time. As soon as I click one the other
one turns off.
I have the mixer turned on and can see that both tracks are in Mono.
I am wondering if the way I have the Apogee set up might be the problem?
I have the original Apogee Duet. Phantome power is displayed with two red LEDs
which show up on the front to the unit. Both are illuminated when phantom power is
powered on. I have the volume turned up fully for both mics (via. the Apogee control
panel that shows up on my computer screen). HOWEVER, when clicking the controller
knob on the top of the Apogee unit itself I don't seem to be able to see the two mics
being shown up on the computer screen at the same time. (I hope this makes sense).
I seem to remember a display that shows mic one icon, a display that shows mic 2 icon,
a display that shows the headphone/speaker icons, and a display that shows both
mic one icon and mic two icon.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give me on.
I am sorry this post is so long but I wanted to try to explain
the problem as clearly and as unambiguously as I am able.

You Tube videos that have two audio tracks?

When I view videos on my Mac there are two audio tracks with them. If I pause the video, an audio track is still heard, but I can't seem to control it. Any thoughts?

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.

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.

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!
Ok, lets face one simple thing that is incredibly stupid in Premiere CC:
Channel Map the Audio to do what you want it to do with t e source clip.

You could have read the Premiere Manual or watched the Adobe TV Tutorials or gone to edit school instead ...

How to find max audio peak of combined audio tracks with effects applied?

Hello all,
I am working in PPro CS5.5.
Often when I am working on a timeline I have two audio tracks of the same songs, one from the camera and one from a separate sound recorder, synced on the timeline so they combine into one signal. Applied to these tracks I might have an E.Q. effect or highpass/lowpass filter. Now I know that the max peak of each track or individual clips is easy to find using the 'Audio Gain' menu item, what I am hoping for is the equivalent of that menu item but related to the final output after the two tracks signal has been added together and effects have been all been applied? It is a very laborious task to have to listen through the whole timeline to discover if the output is going over 0db, if there was a way I could locate on the timeline where the max output is, that would definitely solve the problem.
Finding the way to do this would save literally hours per project! It's the one thing that makes me inwardly groan when I have to effect the output volume, which I have to do most of the time.
Hopefully,
Peter.

I have found audio to be more difficult to learn than video. Audio has so much more subtlety, where perceptions don't always equate to what seems obvious. With multiple tracks adding together things get very complex very fast and peak amplitude has very little relationship to volume. When you compress a waveform the volume can be increased! Who'd have thunk it? Then you have S/N ratios and harmonics, soft clipping and hard clipping... Which brings me to the option on the Dynamics Effect called Soft Clip that is a smoother kind of limiter.
It's amazing where a simple one line suggestion can lead you; having worked a bit more with the dynamics 'effect' I am deciding that I like it a lot. The automation is not absolute but it broadens the tolerances I can work within. Very liberating!

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.

Two audio tracks

I used imovie to create hd project. Looks great played through a blue ray player and regular dvd player. Looks great on 720p and 1080p televisions.
The issue is now with sound and two audio tracks. When played through built-in television speakers, the sound is balanced between two tracks (voice over vs. music.) When played through external, amplified speakers, the voice-over is too pronounced. I need to bump up the music.
Question: I can solve the problem by creating two versions, one for built-in speakers and one for amplified speakers. But I'm asking myself, what do I need to do to create a DVD whose sound will be the same on both types of audio systems?

2.5,
They sound great even after being burned in idvd, as long as the dvd is played on either a monitor with built-in speakers or on a television with built-ins.
The unbalance happens only when the dvd is played back through amplified speakers, and that's when the music suddenly takes a back seat to the voice over.
Other than an equalizer setting difference between the different playback systems, it's hard to explain why there should be a difference.
iDVD supports only uncompressed PCM audio and although the DV specification and DVD specification support more than 2 channels of audio, I have NEVER seem any indication that iDVD supports more than 2 channels of audio. Apple has never said much about audio in iDVD. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Audio and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DV )
DVD SP with Compressor DOES give you many audio choices (uncompressed PCM and compressed Dolby) as well as support for multiple audio channels.

How to not overlap two audio tracks?

Hi, I use Adobe Premiere and I recently I had a problem with Action! (a video recording program) if you register the microphone and the stereo, Premiere overlaps the two audio and is not making me hear my microphone. I also tried to click the check mark on recording program (split audio tracks) but Premiere not divides. How can I create two audio tracks divided on the same record?

Are you saying that if you walk up to your Mac, iTunes suddenly opens?
At any rate, you should be using two different accounts on the Mac, each of you logging into your respective accounts, if you don't want common syncing.

Ripping the background using two audio tracks

I have two audio tracks for a show. One is in English the other in Japanese. Both have the exact same music and sound effect. But different voices. Is there a way I can perform an operation that leaves me with the background audio alone?

Do you know of any program that can do such a feat?
Audition does what's possible (see Durin's answer) as well as any software can. If you are dealing with mono files, then SuiteSpot's answer is the gospel truth - and that goes for all available and unavailable software.
Basically, you have to have some means of isolating a particular part of something in a unique way - this is how the Center Channel extractor works. The thing that this does is to say that a signal that's only in one location in a stereo field can be isolated - just by its position, nothing else. So if you have a mono voice superimposed on a stereo background then the mono voice can be isolated. But because it's by position, then anything else at the same spatial spot will also be eliminated - and almost inevitably this will mean that part of your music track will be extracted as well, so it's not going to be perfect.
Please, just don't believe everything you hear on CSI (or any similar crime show). What they purport to be able to do forensically simply isn't possible in the way they appear to claim.

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).

1,000 menu items - each selection plays unique audio clip with same video

Hi all,
We're familiar with playing different audio tracks based on a menu selection - but we have a large number of clips for this project... so, here's our question:
A viewer of our 30 minute dvd throws it in the player and selects the city they live. We want to have about 1,000 city names they can choose from.
Based on their selection, (eg: Los Angeles) the DVD will play and then at 7 different points during playback, we need the name "Los Angeles" inserted/played along the main audio track. If someone selects Portland, then Portland would be spoken in that spot instead, etc.
In terms of audio files, we have the one main audio that is the same for all menu selections, except for the spots where the city goes, it is just blank.
We have recorded 1,000 unique audio clips of just the city name we want to include . (1 to 2 seconds long)
What's the best way to insert the audio where we need it during playback - or is it even possible? (non-blu ray). There is audio just before and after the point where the city name has to go, so the timing during playback is critical. (no pause or hiccup when inserting.)
We thought about outputting 1,000 unique audio tracks (each 30 minutes long) that include the full audio along with the city, but we seem limited in the number of audio tracks on the Encore timeline (at least based on our limited authoring experience - is there a way to get more clips in encore beyond the # of audio tracks it allows?)
In reading other posts, it seems we can set markers along the main audio track, dump all our city clips on a handful of audio tracks and have them pull in where needed but it seems it will cause the dvd to pause when doing this, and make for an interrupted viewing experience. Is that true?
Any ideas/thoughts are greatly appreciated...
kay

Let's see if someone can tell us how this might be done, but I say the answer is "no."
First, DVDs are made for playing on TVs as programs, not as interactive media. You pick one audio track, and that is all you get. To do what you want (the main audio track with one of a thousand names spoken also), you need a thousand audio tracks.
Even if it were possible, I think the number of menu choices (max 36 buttons on a single 4:3 menu) and the max 1 gig of menu on a disk, and if not those, the max 99 vts per disk (and for Encore which uses 1 vts per timeline, a huge task to figure out how to make all those clips into chapters on timelines) etc.

How to revert to original, the extracted Audio Tracks with SoundBooth?

How to revert to original, the extracted Audio Tracks with SoundBooth?
I have installed the Adobe "MasterCollectionSuite-CS5"-ITA with PremiereProCS5 and SoundboothCS5.
I made a few test with PremierePro Audio clips and used the option "Make a rendering and extract" with Soundbooth.
I want know, after that operation:
- Exists an option (a shortcut) to revert automatically the audio tracks from the extracted Soundbooth clips to the original audio footage?
- In other words, I want return to the original audio timeline situation, prior to make the extraction with Soundbooth. Is it possible?
- I know just one method:
Click and drag the video clip from timeline and release the clip in the "Source"Monitor window. After that I can drag the video+audio at the same start-and-end point of the source and put it into timeline, at the same place...
But with this method I loose the applied effects and transitions from the edited clips in the timeline...
Exists another method?
Thanks!

Dear <http://forums.adobe.com/people/Shai+Schcolnik> Shai Schcolnik
After you have edited the Audio file in Soundbooth, you should:
1)      Select the Original Footage in PremierePro > Project Folder
2)      Select with RIGHT Click the Video+Audio Clip in PremierePro Timeline, and in RIGHT Click Menu choose “Replace/Substitute with clip” > “From Folder”
3)      Now you can delete in PremierePro > ProjectFolder, the named Audio File “…_Extracted.wav” edited previously with Soundbooth!
The new one is your original footage!
